; Hello World

This week I've been a lazy shit.
I should've been focusing on Gamma Collexion, but instead I bought an XBone and pissed about with that.

Today I refocused on the Collexion and was reminded how difficult it was going to be to make 26 games, each with AI players.
As I've discovered many times before, making foolproof perfect AI players can be easy.
Turning them into human-like players is the hard part, as you need to code some instances of idiocy into their otherwise perfect playing style.
Tricky, and the game I was coding today perfectly exemplified that, as I tried to make a game with boats.

Bloody boats!
