So on Monday I created a virtual instance of our server and upgraded it... then loaded the site on to see what broke. Much to my chagrin, a lot of the stuff that was working was either "deprecated" or flat out didn't work anymore. So Tuesday and Wednesday I set out to fix all the issues. I knew I couldn't really test everything, but I knew I had all the major issues finished.

Thursday I prepped the server for the upgrade. I uploaded the changed site with updates to see if it ran on the old PHP version, and it had a couple more issues. I ironed those out, tested on the new server again and back to the server for another check. Everything was up to snuff.

I'm currently working on coding the heartbeat system for the battle code. It's purpose is to run through a queue of actions, and execute them when required. To save server resources, it will only run when something is queued to run instead of checking periodically. It's actually a pretty sophisticated set of code, and really fun to get into.


Next week will be filled with coding the heartbeat system, ironing out the battle rules, and hopefully getting into the visual design. If I have some time I'll add in something to the current game.

We may get some new updates for the battle system soon. Zen is working diligently on the code for it. There is this week's update.
