So it's been a bit since my last journal entry, at least relative to the pace that I wanted to maintain. I got concerned about design issues again, largely because I was thinking about how to integrate scripting into my design. I had always wanted scripting to be in it, but I didn't try to integrate it immedately. However, after all this work with states, it started to be clear that I wanted states to be as fully scriptable as possible. I felt that this would be an important place where scripting could allow radip development.

So I was thinking about that, but didn't care to put it in the journal in case I changed my mind. I don't want to look like I keep starting over; that's so stereotypical (and so typical of my own past). So I was going to wait until I came to a firm decision and justification. I was learning about various scripting lanuages, since I hadn't really used any much before. Mostly Python and Lua. I decided on Lua, and was working on compiling Lua, Luabind, and getting them to work in my program.

And then politics interrupted. Since around the 14th or 15th, I've been spending a whole lot of time with stuff dealing with Republican/Libertarian Presidential candidate Ron Paul. Not a single ounce of work on programming or game design. I'll let you know when I get back to it, though, for anyone who is interested. I wanted to get into the 6th 4 Elements contest, but it's hard to do when you're distracted.

And yes, I had to plug Ron Paul. Research him. And then vote for him, regardless of your party affiliation (he'd make a far better uniter than Bush), both in the primaries (if you can), and in the general election. Do it!
