Worked mostly on interface stuff today: added a new font (Perfect DOS VGA 437) for the satellite overlay, improved the visual effects for opening and closing UI windows, and fully implemented the Information window, which lists all the controls for the game and refers the player to the manual (which I have yet to write). I didn’t make as much progress as I hoped but I definitely still made some regardless so I’m satisfied overall. 

It only dawned on me today – in the physical sense, that is – just how much time I spend in front of my computer (let alone in front of a screen in general). I came to this realisation this evening after looking away from my computer after working for a while only to feel my eyes burning. Nearly every day for the past month I’ve been on my computer I reckon 95% of the day, from the moment I wake to the moment I go to sleep. I have a feeling that’s definitely not good for me on any timeline, to put it lightly; I should start taking steps to remedy that, starting with developing and recommitting to a stricter work schedule. That first requires me to start getting to sleep and waking up at better times, though…
