Gonna start live-tweeting tonight's progress on an exceptionally silly project, see if you can figure out what it'll be...
Okay, looks like a joystick controlling... something...
Running on my phone as intended... but clearly I have messed something up massively.
Forgot to set the font to Comic Sans.

Which unironically looks better for those arrows...
GOOD NEWS GUYS, I got my lil server up and running! 😃
appropriate project name.
oh fun fun fun fun fun fun fun funf unf i love game development
I've decided to solve this problem by doing things The Bad Way.

It worked.
This is Davison, I found him as literally the 8th result for "strange boy" on google images.

He's gonna connect us to the server.

You'll never see him in game.
But he's always there.

making that face.
what is wss and why has it been ruining my life for over an hour
oh my gosh
this literally only breaks in unity
EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS
help me
davison isn't working. i hate him so much i hate his stupid face

decided i'm replacing him with don cheadle. much better.

Screw it. I'm moving to an entirely Don Cheadle-based architecture.
Unity can't talk to the server directly. Fine.
Don Cheadle is stuck in the Unity scene, so he ALSO can't talk to the server.
BUT Don Cheadle *might* be able to pass notes with Don Cheadle 2, who CAN.
If we code Don Cheadle 2 as a separate program whose sole job is to mediate messages between the server and Don Cheadle prime (let them share a piece of memory), well... it just might work.
it's so late i can't even see straight anymore what's happening
IT WORKS
HAHA
THE 2-DON CHEADLE NOTE-PASSING STRATEGY WILL WORK!

THIS IS THE BEST WORST THING I'VE DONE ALL WEEK

NOW WE CAN FINALLY GET BACK ON TRACK
TO MAKE
A joystick
work
none of this was meant to happen
The joystick isn't even the main thing.
how messed up is it that I still haven't told you all what the actual project is?

you're just following me down the rabbit hole

except for the 30 people who unfollowed me since the start of this thread.
they'll never know where this road leads

but you will. you all will, very soon.
You can follow @SamNChiet.
