chess: (infernal machine (Techiness))
I forgot how much I liked coding. Have been learning the Tkinter class, and implementing the easiest bit of Kali to implement in it, in it. I now have a pretty and utterly useless information sidebar for Kali, which is too small, but it all lines up and stuff, so I'm happy. (Too small can be cured by Adding More Clutter, which is always fun.) Unfortunately now I have to stop having fun for a bit and go salvage what's left of the day, before my left eyeball explodes (it's looking disturbingly bloodshot and it hurts).

Repeat after me:
Thou shalt abstract thy interfaces!

I think I should be forced to write the game engine on my Psion, where if thou doest not abstract thy interfaces, and thou knowst not OPL, thou ist thoroughly screwed.

(Context: Every time I start writing Kali again, I run into the same problem; I set interface-specific stuff up (like using Tkinter StringVars) in general game classes (like the player class). Then I can't code stuff on my Psion because surprise, surprise, no Tk/Pygame/easygame for the Psion. Hence, I need to seperate out the interface like nox eventually did. This is easier said than done.)

In other, less techie news, the scab on my hand from where I skinned it falling over in chainmail has started to *itch*. This is not friendly of it.
