Sort of a Protest Blog

So I’ve got it caching properly and loading quickly now. Hooray!

Just need to start enabling DRADIS’ features now.

I’ve refined the actual local map generation code but unfortunately the way we’re outputting it doesn’t seem very clean. Sure, it loads faster but it just looks plain messy and I’m worried to hell about future memory leaks.

So with a little help from my friend James, I’ve now written a new algorithm for local maps.

It has yet to be implemented but should be way faster and memory effective.

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => -3
            [1] => -2
            [2] => -1
            [3] => 0
            [4] => -1
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => -3
            [1] => -2
            [2] => -1
            [3] => 0
            [4] => -1
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => -1
            [1] => -1
            [2] => 1
            [3] => 2
            [4] => 3
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [0] => -1
            [1] => -1
            [2] => 26
            [3] => 27
            [4] => 28
        )

    [4] => Array
        (
            [0] => -1
            [1] => -1
            [2] => 51
            [3] => 52
            [4] => 53
        )

)

So I’ve got a graphical “DRADIS” working for the current sector screen now. Was quite a feat to achieve after not having used CSS in awhile but it seems to work fine.

Right now, I’m working on the different contact icons.

Update: Some progress, I’ve now made it look a little bit more uniform but had to cut 10 ships from the current sector view.

All comic book stores should be named “Virgin Megastore.”

Why? It’s obvious.
