After the lights go down


Looking back on this game, I wanted to fix the issue in the screenshot where you can see several of the words repeating themselves in a given row. Dove into the code and realized it is a mess, with several variable names that are named some similarly, its hard to track what they are actually doing. On top of that, the functions of the main game loop are not centralized into a main object, and are pulling actions from every direction and flinging variable references all over the place. 

With that said, I did make an update that fixes the above issue, but there were several other changes I wanted to make but can't at this junction. As this game would be better suited to a mobile platform, I am entertaining the thought of remaking this game on such a platform. This would give me the ability to essentially stramline the code during a rewrite; as is the code is such a mess, delving into it now to fix what I want would require a huge time commitment. This time would be better spent recreating it and targetting a platform that is more suited to the game itself. 

There is no timetable on re-creating this project, but I want whatever I release to be a quality project. Its lower on the priority list than other projects, but it still has a future!
