Major progress on Frag

Clearing the play area became task #1 but I couldn't do it well. Some pods broke apart partially and then disappeared. Some fragments would hang around forever.

That's when I hit on the idea that every piece launched would last for about 4 seconds before they disappeared by gradual shrinking in the update function. Pods would lose their joints and also disappear.

This allows for natural physics interactions instead of abrupt removals that don't satisfy the player. Now tho, I need to up the launching of ships and maybe do a constant firing thing for the player as waves of enemy pods try to crush the home base. 

Planning on making this tonight as it's already time to start dinner. Just over a week from today's my hospital psych clinic appointment with blood test. I can diet for another week I guess, and walk / run a few times between now and then.

Thinking I will trigger the AI to move autonomously in touchesBegan and touchesDidMove and stop the flow of enemies in touchesEnd. Launching ships may be harder to control, maybe just speed up and slow down? Not sure how to do continuous firing. Maybe call makePods in touchesBegan. I would have to move the pod launcher forward tho.

I was posting on Substack, on dangerous waters. And would like to tease everyone in trouble with the one liner from Jesus,

Rev 22:11  He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

And add to it this encouragement,

Rev 22:12  And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Don’t let people push you around. You do your works and you stick to your guns. Fully knowing of your reward or none thereof.

At this point, it’s vital to point out SPIRITUAL development comes from sticking to your principles from young. Solomon says remember your Creator whence you were youngest.

So of course, rev 22:11 by Jesus becomes rather more potent and to some a must do or die fate.

There was a request to further explain. So here goes. You tend to do best when you do what you believe in. It works for you. Keeps you safest. On the other hand, you may know of better ways (rewarding ways) which need that something you should have learnt earlier, now out of reach. This is when you are born again, not when Peter or Paul tells you something concerning, but when YOU believe different and can see the real rewards of Christ you’d been missing. Any change in you must be a worship to attain the requisite blessing.

I used to wonder about others and their ways / beliefs, but now I realize that their time and my time were not in sync and we pulled apart / annoyed one another. To everything there is a season said Solomon.

But to those in trouble like the evil Liews who well know the chocolate of Jesus sharp sword, it does seem nobody can help no matter what. And to those who fear the Lord and are in error, of course a course correction is required! A brother or sister will help, no questions asked. Are we not all children of God?

Church is not a dangerous place -you can quote me, Otherwise, it isn’t a church!

I guess that’s all for now.
