Then I remembered that I had stored all my source code on my wifes computer because my laptop has been acting up.. (the pcima and cdrom died... as well my ethernet port died and a wireless adapter got messed up...)So now I just need to put my compiler on my wifes computer. This is the first time I ever backed up any data of mine and it has really made me think of its importance...
So moral is always backup on a regular basis.. especially when you have a 2 year old son who wont leave your computers alone for anything..
As a sidenote, I always found robust do-anything state management systems kind of pointless. To each their own I guess though :D
EDIT:
Actually, for an FF-ish RPG, I can see the use. Since you've got a bunch of nested states, well, the 'map' and 'battle' states, I guess. Bllah.
