Dunno how much I'll get done, I've got stuff in in the evening.
I'd like to see checkers get done today if possible

Day 332
Ive come to a pretty hard decision due to technical limitations: the "forced capture of as many pieces as possible" rule of international draughts has to be dropped. The simulation parts are simply too complex.

Day 331
Sadly, I AM getting stuff done, but since it's refactoring code, it's not particularly exciting.
I think I'm nearly done and can get to the more interesting parts soon, at least. Game boots, but attack moves are bugged.

A lot of older code is getting refactored with this change. It'll take a little time.
It's important, though.

I'm attacking checkers again. Hopefully almost got it.
This doesn't feel as hopeless as En Passant did.

I'm being dragged against my will to a sports thing again. Partner's favorite team is training near/in her hometown.
I'm just fucking relieved that en passant is working again under the tag system.

Day 326
I swear, the first achievement I'll set up will be "capture a piece En Passant" entirely so I can see if all this work was worth the effort.

It was never actually called Kirby's Air Ride. It was just Kirby Air Ride.

Day 321
I can delay no further. I need to start finalizing controls. The issues related to Castling are related to the fact that you can't actually decide what to do if you have multiple types of moves available to you.

Day 320
I've dropped going to weekly tournaments but I still like going to the monthly ones
Don't expect any progress today. In fact, I've discovered Castling AND En passant are both broken.
Fuuuuuuuuuck

An interlude: We've got a new 3D printer, one that's much better than our old one. And my partner really wants to print my little fellas.
And I'm wondering if this should be rolled into the game proper.
