Well, looks like GSOC is coming to a conclusion.
\nThese will be the last 10 days of it.<\/p>\n
The actual code is basically in place and, so I\u2019m told, not that far from mergeability.<\/p>\n
At least one feature-branch allows for glitch-less completion of the two main games I initially set on supporting (Rosemary and Dirty Split), and I hope I can test more (there\u2019s Carol Reed and a bunch of others).<\/p>\n
While we are at it: Dirty Split is a FANTASTIC game and I deeply regret having to play it with a walkthrough because of time constraints.
\nIt\u2019s beyond awesome. Everything there is to love in a graphic adventure is there.
\nDo yourself a favor and check it out (and also, the Carol Reed games \u2013 also because these people are INCREDIBLY supportive).<\/p>\n
What I\u2019ll be doing next will be:<\/p>\n
* Producing a profiling document (I\u2019m midway through data gathering).
\nThis will keep me busy until at least Sunday and will presumably help posterity in further improving performance.<\/p>\n
* Producing a TODO-list re:features, bugs and optimizations which I haven\u2019t been able to squeeze in yet.
\nI\u2019ll most likely do this in the final day before the soft-deadline \u2013 that is, Sunday night or Monday.<\/p>\n
Then during the last week I\u2019ll probably be busy doing some emergency fixes and I\u2019ll be doing some cleanup, documenting and refactoring, plus squeezing some playtesting here and there (playtesting is an excellent activity to do when you are too cooked to do anything else).<\/p>\n
I expect documentation-writing to come last (did I mention I also write documentation like a cow?), so I\u2019ll probably be doing that during the very last couple of days, with cleanup of the actual code and refactoring taking the first half of the week.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s not *that* many obvious targets for refactoring, in fact \u2013 the code is quite clean, plus some has already been done in-branch.
\nI still hope I\u2019ll be able to bring it up a notch or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
