Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

Hi @Shannon, did you end up finishing the modelling/implementation for all of the ideas, today? Wondering about how the program is coming along. Just excited to hear about all of those ideas. Even one of those could blow the doors open for me once and for all.

Hope things are going well!

There are 10 ideas implemented, and the 11th (by far the most complex and challenging to script) is about 60% finished.  After that I need to run though the remaining ideas one more time to verify that they are to be excluded (and if not, build them out) and then I begin the process of configuring the various parts of the script for the Platinum Lake build method.  Once that is finished, I can begin the actual build.

Remarkable, so there may be more ideas implemented if they can show promise. Very cool and encouraging.

Sounds like things are really humming along then. That's fantastic to hear!

When I am working with script sections that have a high re-usability value, I can change smaller parts of the whole script statement instead of re-building the whole statement from scratch each time, and achieve equal if not better results with a much smaller amount of time required.  If I had to build all 11 of these statements from scratch I would need 2-3 days each.  Instead, I can re-use the beginning and the end of each statement, and only have to rebuild the middle part which actually tells the rest what to do, and I can finish 2-3 statements a day.  Since each of these ideas can be expressed neatly in 1, or in rare occasions 2, statements, it is rapid work.

That is how and why we are going so fast on this particular endeavor.
