When I woke up this morning (well, it was noon, but whatever), the command interpreter of the computer game I’m making was a 1274 line awful mess involving triply nested switch statements.
Now, ~16 hours later, it’s a neat and nicely modular system that can easily transition from one state to another, which does not require me to fiddle about much in order to save the information it needs, and which can be simply extended as needed.
So, I’m satisfied.
(And tired.)
