Programmer rant, incoming!
Short story: FUCK YOU, TURBINE.
Long story: As some of you are aware, I'm working on making a better form of the abysmal stand-alone DDO Character Planner, aka: an object lesson in bad GUI design and slow program execution. I've hit a bit of a speed bump involving the SP tables that DDO uses for a class' base spell point values. Simply put, they do NOT follow a simple, logical progression. NO, they follow some idiotic fucking algorithmic bullshit I have yet to decipher. Am I going to spend days, perhaps even weeks, reverse-engineering the algorithm these assholes use so I can do it all in code? Fuck that. No, instead, I'm just going to have to make another script type, even though SP tables weren't something I wanted to script in the first place because, like an idiot, I thought they followed a simple progression.
Its another layer of scripting I'm going to have to add, another tab to my script writer tool, and more crap I'm going to have to fucking do manually, when I already have to handle classes, spells, enhancements, feats, and races. Every one of those is already taking a good deal of technical wrangling to get working properly, and to where they'll interact with one another like they're supposed to, and some of them, like classes, are fucking gargantuan in scope.
It doesn't help that YouTube is being annoyingly fucking slow, and refusing to load the ONE fucking song I wanted to listen to whilst trying to wrangle with this bullshit.
Fuck you, Turbine. Fuck you, YouTube. You can both kiss the fattest part of my ass.
