So I was having a lot of trouble with my Lowercase I game. I thought I would just give up on it forever, but something made me work on it. I have been sleeping a lot of the time, I have been really sleepy all the time and I could just fall asleep if I were to lay down at any point during the day. So I had to force myself to get up at 10am to take the dog out and then went back to sleep. I woke up at 2 or so. I decided to work on it. I think I finally solved my dumb problem I was having with the walls and colliding into them. Part of the problem stemmed from me using the wrong variable for collision detection for the walls. I was using values 30 and 40 when they should have been 10 and 20. After trying this and having it not worked, I tried putting the bit of code that pointed to displaying the lowercase i into the bit of code that displays the screen. This was the thing that fixed it. Best Buy has not called me to say my computer is there yet, so I'm still using the one in the den, which means in order to test it, I'd have to drag the Odyssey 2 and the TV into the den, and since I told of my sleepiness earlier, it's something I don't want to do. So Lowercase I isn't quite dead yet.
