[DevLog 0]  Day by day-

After looking at the source code, I kinda gave up thinking about how I just really need to do a few refactors.  I constantly fidged the infection numbers 1/10 or 1/100 or a percent point, getting radically different infection spread, but of course, I forgot to comment my code -_- Still there are plenty of false positives programmed in to give this pseudo-simulation some life.

Of course, the game is a weird post-mortum during the recent pandemic, since when I was designing the game, the lockdowns were easing as the infection rates were increasing. But neither there nor here, the game is set in 19th-century London, and the parallels to todays world are purely speculative. 

Unfortunately, I lost track of the historical references I used, as I was going through old documents-- reading  old journals that are available online. The last major gameplay piece that I (obviously) need to integrate is a trivia mechanic. I was studying Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?  (1985), but the game's trivia is geography based, not historically based. I'll need to redo my reading exercises, and dig a little deeper into this period of time. History is important to me, if a movie or game is historical, I'm often the dude who's pointing out every historical inaccuracy, even when it's well done (Looking at you Sid Meier's Civilization and Ridley Scott movies). Still there are plenty of Victorian tropes or cliches that are fine to use, since it adds to the atmosphere. Like Jack the Ripper has nothing to do with the Cholera epidemic, but he was part of that history, and part of the cultural zeitgeist, so elements like that will only add to the edutainment of the product.

Anyway, I also need to fix the procedural block names. Mostly done, just need to eliminate debugging info.
