If it isn&#8217;t on official assignments, it is on the new editor built on top of Visual Studio Code. What is taking so long on it is the dialog editor, more on that later. I never did get time to work on a tutorial in the past week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I hope to find some time to write this weekend. My workload is light because I have my project in user acceptance testing, and my next project isn&#8217;t set to start until sometime next week. I have a project that I am working on. However, I am blocked until I have a meeting on Monday morning, so that really isn&#8217;t an issue. The problem is that I&#8217;m not sure what to write on next. In terms of game play, the game is pretty complete. What is lagging behind is content creation. I work with that sort of thing all week long, so I don&#8217;t really want to get into that on the weekend too. If you have a suggestion on what I should cover, drop a comment. I&#8217;m always happy to fill my readers&#8217; requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned at the start, my project continues to be my editor built using Visual Studio Code. The syntax highlighting is almost perfect. However, I have a problem where if I close and open VS Code, I lose syntax highlighting until I disable and re-enable the extension.  The code completion is coming along well. I have a colleague who has volunteered to help with data entry. What I have been working on is the dialog editor. It has been slow progress. It is a webview, which I am and am not familiar with. Having worked as a web developer, I&#8217;m familiar with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. However, I am not familiar with the technology the webview is built on. Also, I am not all that familiar with NodeJS. Still, I can create dialogs and inject them into my scripts. However, I cannot have multiple dialogs inside of a script or load an existing dialog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, I will find some quiet time over the weekend to devote to a tutorial or two. I don&#8217;t know what the subject will be, though. There are a few topics that I can cover, but they aren&#8217;t very exciting. I will be spending a good chunk of my time working on my editor. I want to wrap it up before the new year. So, I encourage you to keep visiting my blog for the latest news on my tutorials and other goodness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good luck with your game programming adventures!<br><strong><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">Cynthia<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I have been rather busy with work.
