> Latest numbers: 465 locations, 8181632 bytes (17594 bytes/location). Okay, another slow month, but I think I'm recovering from burnout now. I've got some good ideas for what I want to do next and I've made a lot of recent plans for puzzles in the final stages of the game.

> I was telling some people earlier about how I had been creating a flow chart for the puzzle steps of the game. I had done flow charts for certain *groups* of puzzles in the game to make sure nothing unexpected could happen, but I figured that to be safe -- and to take a break from writing code -- that I should make a flow chart for the whole thing to make sure nothing got overlooked.
>
> Well, guess what? The software I was using, not half an hour ago, whined that I couldn't use more than 6,000 links in the flow chart! I was only about halfway done with it, too. I figure the guys who made this program hadn't anticipated HARDCORE users. Should have guessed it -- they only gave me 2,500 square inches of drawing space to use.

> But anyway, maybe that's a good thing. Instead of spending another week or two on the flow chart, I'll be going back to writing code tomorrow.
