Dev Log: Horror Text Adventure #40

I've now started the process of making the static locations where players can meet.  I'm starting with the school that I drew up in Part 6.  I've added some basic room types for offices, dining halls, kitchens, gyms, libraries, classrooms, bathrooms, and closets.  Then I added a counter barrier type, which is basically a window (though eventually the window will have an open/close ability, as well as possibly lock and break, while the counter will have none of those).

To reiterate.  Although code and drawings are two dastardly different things.

After that I began the long process of adding each individual room and barrier.  I'm sure they're also a much shorter way to get it done, but I did manage to cut it down substantially twice by adding a couple of simple functions (and I found a redundant one to get rid of).  If I hadn't done so, those sections would have been six times as long.  I think I should be able to make a way to connect rooms and their barriers at once, but for now that task is out of the way so I may worry about it on the next common area.

I think this is part of the kick I needed to feel like I'm making progress again.  I was kind of struggling on specifics about what kinds of items to make and how a player can interact with them meaningfully, and I think by working on a very solid non-random area, I can see how things fit together.
