I spent some time working on Mapper, starting on the debugging process. I figured the best way, was to actually use it. I chose to put the map from Eamon’s The Beginners Cave into the Mapper. I started finding problems…

Mapper’s Map, Unstumped
Today, on my ride home from work, I was thinking about the different things I had tried with the map subroutine. The one thing that struck me was I was able to position a string of characters, ‘XXXXX X XXXXX’…
Mapper’s Map, Stumped
I worked on Mapper’s map subroutine again today. I spent several hours on it and am beginning to feel kind of stupid. The map file I have been using is just two named rooms with no directions. At this point…

Sometimes when I’m programming I hit a spot where the code is just not looking right and I have to scrap it. I hit such a spot with the Print Map Subroutine. I scrapped the code I had and just…
Mapper Map
The overall structure for the print map routine of Mapper is in place. I cycle through the rooms collecting the information for three rooms at a time. Once I have three rooms worth of data loaded I print the diagrams…
