Today I continued programming the two components that were my main task, while implementing them I also implemented other parts of the diagram I designed as they were needed or when it was simply more efficient because I was touching related code anyway.

When I was done I was left with a rough idea of how the game’s structure should be set… Continue reading Day 3
