Weekly development report 2025/09/20

Another quiet week in the stable game version. This means it's slowly time for the next dad jokes. Or at least a better check of everything. :) Anyway, nothing new to report here.

The development version of the game is constantly moving forward at its normal pace. Work priorities have returned to their place. Again, most of the time was devoted to working on a new version of the UI for the game. But there have also been some visible changes in the current UI:

• In the new UI, I am still on the player's ship information screen, specifically information about individual ship crew members. Most of the work here has already been done. There is still room for improvement in showing and managing crew members' equipment. This will probably take some time too.
• As always, by the way, I'm working on the library used to create the new UI. Nothing new was added; only existing things got some improvements. Continuation of work from previous weeks.
• Work on the quality of in-game items is slowly moving forward. As I mentioned above, this time there is even something to show: information about the quality of items has been added to a few lists of things, such as a player's ship's cargo, looting empty bases, etc. Some work was also done in the game code itself, mainly preparations for the next phase of work. I think I'll be working on these hidden things for another week before I finally start doing something normal.
• The above task also resulted in the addition of some new tests for the game code.
• And the old code, as usual, got some improvements and embellishments. It should be a bit more readable to me. ;)
