Dev Log 4# - Just a tiny graphics update

Yesterday at 11:00 PM I just wanted to quickly swap out the recipe graphics in the book.... Two hours later.

changedThe book pages are written in a custom, in-game language I generated myself. As Alice learns words throughout the game, the book page gradually translates itself.
addedTo stop the image link from being interpreted as a word, I had to cheat a little. In my code, I check in two places whether the file path contains the word "Graphics" — that's where my images are stored. But for the new graphics I decided for a new location.

Yesterday at 11:00 PM I just wanted to quickly swap out the recipe graphics in the book.

... Two hours later.

Here's how it should have gone:

  1. Open the book page's file

  2. Link the new image

  3. New image shows up => Time needed: 5 min^^

BUT...

The book pages are written in a custom, in-game language I generated myself. As Alice learns words throughout the game, the book page gradually translates itself.

To stop the image link from being interpreted as a word, I had to cheat a little. In my code, I check in two places whether the file path contains the word "Graphics" — that's where my images are stored. But for the new graphics I decided for a new location.

Understanding my own code from three years ago took a while, so it took me about an hour to find the first spot.

The second one, half an hour later...

That's not happening to me again. I've now unified both spots into one.

But hey, it works now! So here's the before and after.

See you tomorrow :)
