The Transpiler has been started! \o/yeay\o/

-=-=-

OH NO!!!!

I posted the majority of yesterday's chaos in a post over on SoCoder, and it describes exactly how many issues I had, yesterday.
I've been jotting down issues as I go, and will have to try to remember those for every single Transpile-Target that I work on.

Each target will require a new framework, so that commands make sense in that engine. I'll have to code an awful lot of stuff before any of this works!
Thankfully, the first Javascript Transpiler should be infinitely easier to work on, since the framework already exists in the form of JSE! The issue is that I now have to read through the code and figure out how best to reproduce it, so that A) it works, but also B), it's actually readable in case you want to edit the Transpiled code.

That is, I wouldn't want to leave you with something that looks "Minified" over on the Transpiled code.
I could VERY easily do things like "JSE_Vbl[73]+=JSE_Arr[5][68][488]", but I'd much rather it be a readable line of "PlayerX+=Object[448]" ..

I'm taking things one step at a time, though, and so far it's .. Kinda looking doable.
No major issues have cropped up, anyway, put it that way.

Yep, this will all be smooth sailing, I'm sure!

Meanwhile...





That bland wall is still bland.
My god, it looks like a prison cell or something.
A while back I started work on a "Large image printed as a bunch of mosaic-style pieces of paper" tool, but .. honestly I just gave up on that idea, and never returned to it.
A shame, really.

But the corner is still bland and uninteresting to be in the same room as.

How best to jazz it up, then!?!



Aaah, There we go!!

I'll probably dot a few more of them around the room.
Cost a blinkin' ton, though. £22 for a pack of 12 in a single colour, so.. Yeah, cost me £66 that did!!
Unaffiliated Amazon Link.
Not many colours to choose from, but thankfully they did the three important colours

... "It'll be easy enough, I'll just climb on the bed!"
Warning : Don't "just climb on the bed" when you have severe balance issues.
Nearly walloped my head on the chest of drawers on the way back down.
*sigh*
