Divination Tool Projects

Posted at 5:46 pm MST to Code

I now have two scripting projects running in parallel. The perl program that does Net of Mirrors layouts is coming along nicely: it will now organize the icons correctly to display the 10 Gates layout, and I know how to do the other layouts I want as options.

My other project is a related program that will do layouts of tarot decks. It will currently 'know' about two different decks: the standard Rider-Waite and one being developed by my friend Nanette. I haven't figured out what to do about icons for it, though. (It took me 3 days and some serious RSI to generate the icons for the Mirrors, but I had the image files from the original cards to work from for those.)

Actually, at the moment, I'm too tired to work on much. I've been staying up too late working on my projects, and it has caught up with me. At the moment I am incapable of typing a list of the Major Arcana (from either deck) and having it come out right, even with a list to copy from. It's like trying to balance a checkbook and having it never come out the same way twice.

And I know beeter than to try to program when I'm this groggy. Tonight will have to be an early night.
