I’m feeling far too lazy right now to write out anything more complicated for a blog post than to raise awareness from my project members…
The news is simple: the setting technology descriptions for Federation ( which reflects Earth tech level in general ) and the Arcanum has been updated on the wiki, accessible through the List of Technologies page. I’m not sure if I’d actually classify the Fateseeker’s reverse-causality weapons as ‘magitech’, so I left it out for now.
On another matter, after Sylon informing me that the format I came up with seems too complicated for those without programming experience to easily grasp and use ( even if it is simple to those who have experience coding, particularly if you did low-level language coding like x86 ), I’m once again picking up the thought of using XML data scanned in via Python/Jython. More on this later once I do a bit of research.
Well, it is complicated… But if simplifying it would increase your workload tremendously or reduce the effectiveness of the code/cause some errors, I think it would be best to leave it at this level.
Also, though this isn’t the right place to post this, could you mail me a to-do list of sorts, while I’m at Australia? I’ll be dragged around to various places in my first week there (Canberra, to see the snow, and possibly the Blue Mountains) before settling down in my relative’s house in Sydney. Thus, I might not have Internet access there; but I’m bringing my laptop along so I can work on whatever you assign me to.
Please make it as detailed as possible (A lack of detail would mean I would find a loophole and procrastinate there). Thank you.
In case you haven’t received it yet Sylon, I sent you an email regarding your last post.
