The Road to PyWeek -- Still Working out the Kinks in My Strategy...

My second practice run is nearing an end, and I have a completely different problem this time.
I... Never wound up writing any code. I got so wrapped up in the design process that I lost track of everything else in the project.

Lesson Learned: Don't overdesign, it's just as bad as over-engineering!

I'm very glad that I decided to do these practice runs. This would have been a problem in the compo XD

I think I can call the second game sunk. It's just not going to happen.
Life goes on, though.

I've been finding that more and more:I'm getting caught up in the designs. I need to not design so much XD

I've got a good feeling about the third practice run, though. I think it'll be good to have a fresh start.

My friend has decided that she won't tell me the theme until the start of the next run, which will be at 23:00 UTC (7:00 PM EDT)

I'm thinking that this time I'll just give it some thoughts, maybe scratch down some notes, then just start coding the darned thing.

***UPDATE***

My third practice run has started, and the theme is construction.

Here's hoping I can get it done!
