Yesterday I took a well-deserved rest.
Today I figured I'd take an easy ticket, the one whereby I make random missions accept labels. As though welcoming me back to coding my game, this was far more difficult than I'd wanted it to be.
The first step was to adapt the KuiAtCondition to also respond to labels. As it is, you give it a list of destinations (either planets, organizations, or sectors) and if the player is there, it passes. It seemed simple to extend this for labels....
It's never easy.
For one, only the root KuiObject knows how to handle labels, and I'd hardcoded that in. My choices were: Refactor labeling out to a more generic module, or copy and paste the code. For once, I did the responsible thing and refactored. It took an hour!
The refactoring turned out to be worthwhile, as it happened. I needed to do similar label handling in at least two other places later, so as usual, it paid for itself.
Still, it's never easy!
