positive venting, anxiety, relationships (++++)
this has been such a good month so far AAAAAAAAAAAA
not only have i basically obliterated most of my anxiety, but i now have substantial proof that i can use to fight off the rest of it
oh, also, i have a gf now! she's basically the coolest person ever, and we accept each other, even at our weirdest--a thing that i was almost convinced would never happen to a weirdo like me
all of this is so welcome after last month, oh gosh

anxiety (+++)
WOOOO!!
i have successfully managed to address all of my biggest anxiety points, and it's still only february!
this resolution to crush my anxiety is looking very good today!
ok google, how to get past art block
introducing a new version of dosbox that only displays ordering screens from old games: bossdox
working on an old project: 
working on a new project that's exactly the same: 
why does starting a new project, and copying all the code from my old one basically double my motivation to work on it
lb: that speed improvement. yikes

Did some more work on the raycaster last night. Got another huge speed improvement now that my draw vertical line function doesn't just call the pixel drawing function for every pixel.
The each pixel draw call would also call this per pixel and I am sure that was not helping (actually I know it was not helping since I tested it again per pixel draw lol):
outp(0x03C4, 0x02);
outp(0x03C5, 1 << (x&3));
The raycaster is really fast in DOSBox at the moment and it is very fast on the 486.
wow, i really have a lot of tangible plans again
keeping my momentum up is important for this year--and i'm still determined to make it my best one yet!
reimplementing the planet for the sake of education
plus, it's a really cool aesthetic, writing code for open watcom and running your stuff in legit 486 hardware--just like so many classic game developers did
there's still a long way to go, but actually having a renderer working, even if slowly, is a massive step towards something pretty damn cool imo
lb: i love this stuff! she is basically writing a DOS raycaster from scratch!
i mean everything from writing keyboard drivers to implementing text and fonts to writing to arbitrary memory to even draw pixels on the screen!

Oh hey, turned out my raycaster had a huge bug (forgot to cast a value as float). I also added some code so North/South walls have a different color from East/West and it makes the raycaster look way better.
I also added text drawing functionality in Mode Y, but I don't know if my FPS counter is working correctly, as I just threw it together quickly. (I will be implementing fixed point math instead of floats in the future).
