Another day of coding things.
Just like the day before.
Another game that I will make,
And then I'll make some more.

I swear, I thought I had it.
But I guess I wasn't near.
Today I'll start it all again.
There's something missed, I fear.

Today is the day,
I'm going to make it.
Audio will work,
And I won't have to fake it.

As I struggle with C,
And the hard 3DS.
I've at least made a game,
That can handle the stress.

Work on many tasks at once.
It seems ok, but then,
The thing you should be working on,
Gets left behind, again.

Memory problems,
Data disappears.
The issues remain,
And nobody hears.

I try my best to make it sing,
But in the end, can't hear a thing.
I think I'll try a new technique,
And hope the outcome's not as bleak.

A test that failed.
My memory broke.
I'm not sure why.
I'll have to poke.

I find a way around a bug,
But somehow it's still there.
I try again. It still appears.
I'm pulling out my hair!

To fit another byte in here,
You'll need a lot more RAM.
Instead you'll have to shuffle bits,
And start to pack and cram.

I hacked my 3DS to play my own games.
That's truly the sole intention.
I don't need it for anything else.
I've got Android for emulation.

I try my best to make it work,
But it really isn't easy.
The amount of code I've yet to do.
It leaves me feeling queasy.

I haven't made a game in weeks.
The framework must be fixed.
It sort of works, but still not right.
The output is quite mixed.

Deep in the forest,
The sprites are all hidden.
All of my drawing code's,
Broke and forbidden.

Complicated problems.
Things that don't work.
It's probably something obvious,
And I'm being a berk.

Slaying the bugs,
And fighting the fight.
I seem to do better,
Whilst coding at night.

Something somewhere's really broke.
I hunt, and hunt, and hunt.
And yet this bug I cannot find.
Delete, Delete, Delete.

Shifting the data.
Moving one byte.
Shouting at C.
It'll end in a fight.

Wait for deliveries,
Which never arrive.
In a world without shops,
How will we survive?

The tiny little rubber rings,
That fit inside the drives.
I open up the CPC,
And hope that it survives.
