Oopsie - Sunday

Yeah, I went to bed rather late Saturday, but it's for a REALLY good reason. I got up on Saturday as usual, did WoA, since it is a special turn it only took me a couple of hours and was much better than usual. To make it better yet, Huw came over and we discussed a load of cool ideas for WoA. After Huw left, the Java was missing the following features.

  • Stalemate
  • Castling
  • Networking
Not TOO much of a problem, it'll get a pass mark for sure, heck, from what I've heard most people are not doing checkmate itself (we're not required to, it is very hard to do). I got stuck on the Networking thing and so went over to Steve's house and until 0200 we puzzled our way through it and gave up in frustration. He had done a Chess game two years ago and his help was very useful. Sunday morning dawns bright and early, I collected Becca then SiƤn and no, I can't tell you what the service was about because I was helping the Discoverers group. It's the 5 - 11 year old group that go out during the service. It was really nice to be able to help out and rewarding too. After the service I walked home and worked on Java a lot. I played a little Warcraft but for the most part did Java. I went to the Hackers house for afternoon tea and it was VERY nice, no vegetable score (maybe that's why it was so nice!). This evening's service I felt tired, sleepy and I think I came close to fainting a few times because it was very hot in there. As such I don't think I got the full impact of the message, about making sure you're rooted in Christ with some stuff about persecution in other countries. Why would you persecute a Christian simply because they are one? Surely by doing that you are acknowledging that there is something different about them? I walked Sarah, India and Becca home, though Sarah gave Becca a lift once we got to Sarah's house and India lives just round the corner from me. The chess game now looks somewhat better and impliments everything bar networking, but that's because of a bug of some sort and I have provided code that proves that everything bar a very small bit works, I should be able to scavenge most of the marks from it for that. I've also added a debug mode to show what the program is thinking. There's only one thing left to do (well two really) for Java. First make sure it works on the Uni computers, talking to Gareth it should, he had to change something windows specific so I should be okay. The second thing is to add some stuff to my log-book, it's a little too spartan for my liking.
