instructions for playing game <<running_clock>> Time is your most valuable resource, and it is always ticking. Certain actions take additional time, so you must make sure you have enough to do everything. Throughout this 5 day week, you will have to complete all school work appropriately. -Lectures are only during certain times, which you will need to check in the schedule -Homework needs to be completed by its due date, but don't have to be completed in one sitting As well as school, you also have to manage your health, energy, and sanity. Health and santiy can be maintained with activities and food, but both drain the more work you do. Energy is your most immediate limiter, and you must keep up sleep to compensate. As your sleep or health or sanity declines, it will impact the rest of your stats. Start here: [[inbetween tutorial]]

Hello, unmasked author jaxon here. mannnnn this is taking too long. consider this page kinda like an easter egg. but more depressing. I cant help but feel like this game might not have the stress inducing effect I intended (especially compared to the genuine stress and fatigue real life me is feeling.) Ironically, i feel like this project might end up taking longer than the artificial time I chose for balancing. Maybe I'll need to adjust that haha. to be fair, real life me has more time to work on this. 7 day hell week instead of 5 days.. but to be more fair, theres no way im planning out a whole other 2 days.

You dont get to. The week has passed and you have to deal with that. There are no redos here.

Why must you be so weak? <</timed>> <<timed 5s>> you feel oh so restless right now. biological need my ass, you need to get back to work.. <</timed>> <<timed 6s>> you should really be above this already. How has it even come to this point.. <</timed>> <<timed 8s>> Thats good enough for now. You've wasted so much time already. You can't afford to let this happen again. <</timed>> <<timed 9s>> Maybe you should spend some time trying to fully recover, but you also desperately need to catch back up on work... <</timed>> <<timed 10s>> The choice is yours..

But even still, this should be a relatively fast project.. right..? <</timed>> <<timed 6s>> With this basic knowledge learnt, I should be able to start coding it out soon. [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final Art Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

[[Home]] [[Final Art Project]] <<else>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<timed 2s>> you think it would be easiest to make something based on your own experience..<</timed>> <<timed 4s>> it can also be a little bit meta, im sure no one would mind.. right? <</timed>> <<timed 6s>> Well, now you have a rough idea for what you want to do. You don't think this is too self centered is it? [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final Art Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<if lastVisited('Create Pathways')>0>> so what now? [[Home]] [[Final Art Project]] <<else>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<timed 2s>> working in twine involves connecting pathways which string events together. you just need to work out all your ideas into this pathway format<</timed>> <<timed 4s>> This isnt going terribly, but after a while, the connecting pathways are looking more and more complex.. this is gettting tough to handle<</timed>> <<timed 6s>> You've at least finished this, but it feels more and more like this is being held together with duct tape and sticks... all you can do is hope it holds up.. <<set $ART_Grade +=10>> [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final Art Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<if lastVisited("Set Up Story Skeleton")>0>> so what now? [[Home]] [[Final Art Project]] <<else>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<timed 2s>> alright, so this should just be the main events, this seems alright. <</timed>> <<timed 4s>> Although not necessarily hard, the writing is getting awfully monotonous. you are getting awfully tired of this...<</timed>> <<timed 6s>> Well at least thats out of the way. Too bad about the whole mountains of work still left.. <<set $ART_Grade +=10>> [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final Art Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

[[Home]] [[Final Art Project]] <<else>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<timed 2s>> This should be simple enough, just set up a clock and global time tracking.. <</timed>> <<timed 4s>> ok, so you seem to be having issues making the clock update live... And the global variable was a good idea in your head, but now its getting hard to keep track of. You might need to go back to the drawing board a little...<</timed>> <<timed 7s>> maybe you have stepped in too deep this time.

[[Home]] [[Final Art Project]] <<else>> <<wait_half_hour>> <<timed 2s>> You need to make some global stats to really string everything together. All things considered, this shouldn't take that long... <</timed>> <<timed 6s>> well, thats one more thing out of the way. you cant help but wonder how much more you'll have to do.. <<set $ART_Grade +=3>> [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final Art Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<if lastVisited('Iron Out Bugs')>0>> so what now? [[Home]] [[Final Art Project]] <<else>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<timed 3s>> ahh yes, the most enjoyable part of every coding experience..<</timed>> <<timed 7s>> as always, you're just having the greatest of times~. for some reason the numbers are inverting...<</timed>> <<timed 10s>> aaand just like that you've spent nearly an hour just to find a single missing line. At least its almost over..<</timed>> <<timed 12s>> you are fully drained. there is nothing else to remark on right now. you could probably go for a break. <<set $ART_Grade +=3>> <<set $sanity -=6>> <<set $energy -= 8>> [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final Art Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<if lastVisited('Finishing Art Project')>0>> so what now? [[Home]] [[Final Art Project]] <<else>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<timed 2s>> at last, the end is in sight.. at least for this particular assignment...<</timed>> <<timed 4s>> you really bit off more than you could chew, huh? You really should have expected this.<</timed>> <<timed 7s>> honestly though, what were you expecting... You should have known better <</timed>> <<timed 10s>> i swear, every time you do this. bite off more than you can chew, and burn out at the end.. you can only blame yourself. what about all the rest of the work to do... <</timed>> <<timed 12s>> Welp, that was interesting enough. It sure seems like a good idea to fully commit to making one of these in a week.. <<set $ART_Grade +=10>> [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final Art Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<timed 2s>> Heres the bit you at least partially care about. A good plan helps make things go much smoother. or at least smoother in relative terms <</timed>> <<timed 4s>> At the very least, it helps to at least have something approachable to start with..<</timed>> <<timed 6s>> This isn't going to be an easy assignment by any means, but it at least seems managable.. you think... [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final CS Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<timed 2s>> The annoying process the class expects us to do before actually starting the real code. <</timed>> <<timed 4s>> I suppose its helpful to do for practice, but man is it annoying<</timed>> <<timed 6s>> At least its out of the way. Hopefully everything else goes well from here. [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final CS Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<timed 2s>> This shouldnt be too hard.. <</timed>> <<timed 4s>> You swear this really really shouldnt be taking this long <</timed>> <<timed 6s>> no no like, this reeaaallllly shouldnt be taking this long. <</timed>> <<timed 8s>> Even if not a lot of time in total, this took way longer than it should have. This does not bode well [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final CS Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<timed 3s>> As the core of the program, you figure you should at least set up a basic skeleton of the main function first<</timed>> <<timed 6s>> You've slowed down a bit, but you still seem to be making solid progress. <<set $GE_Grade +=10>> [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final CS Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<wait_half_hour>> <<timed 2s>> Even though this is somewhat new to you, it still makes intuitive sense, and you dont seem to be struggling too much with it.<</timed>> <<timed 3s>> In a bit of a surprise, you seem to have finished this part of the assignment earlier than expected! <<set $GE_Grade +=7>> [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final CS Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<wait_half_hour>> <<timed 2s>> You at least have previous experience with tree data structures, so you don't have to spend so long figuring out how to use them<</timed>> <<timed 3s>> Maybe if the rest of the assignment goes like this, it wont be so bad.. <<set $GE_Grade +=8>> [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final CS Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<timed 2s>> This is one of the new-er concepts, you have to take some time to make sure you understand everything<</timed>> <<timed 4s>> You're pretty sure you got everything you needed to, at least for the basics right now.. <<timed 6s>> Next you'll have to put more complex fuctionality into the structure. Maybe it wont be the worst <<set $GE_Grade +=10>> [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final CS Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<timed 2s>> Here you get to the more tricky stuff. Youre in a little bit of a blind zone, where you dont entirely know what is or isnt correct..<</timed>> <<timed 4s>> Its getting a little weird at the end, and you can feel your grasp on the concept starting to loosen. Hopefully what you have so far is fine, and you can just come back to this in the future. <</timed>> <<timed 6s>> It got a bit iffy at the end, but you're pretty sure its set up enough to move on. at least youre pretty sure... <<set $GE_Grade +=5>> [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final CS Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<wait_half_hour>> <<timed 2s>> Now you just have to put it all together in an algorithm. <</timed>> <<timed 5s>> Specifically, youre using the Huffman algorithm to be able to compress files so they take less space<</timed>> <<timed 7s>> its honestly quite interesting, just a bit complex to try to think around. <</timed.> <<timed 10s>> So with that, the end is just around the corner, probably <<set $GE_Grade +=5>> [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final CS Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<wait_half_hour>> wait what? <<timed 2s>> no that doesnt make sense...<</timed>> <<timed 4s>> You really dont understand it.. Everything should be working. You thought you paid enough attention. It really doesnt make sense to not be working.. <<timed 6s>> This really doesnt make sense... [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final CS Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<timed 2s>> You sit back down to try to find the issue, with an impending sense of dread<</timed>> <<timed 5s>> You're growing increasingly desperate at this point. You should have been done by now. It was all going so well<</timed>> <<timed 9s>> You are entirely stumped as to where the bug could be coming from. is this your life now? all the work just to get snagged at the end? <</timed.> <<timed 12s>> You've checked nearly every piece of your code. You still done know what it could be. On a whim, you start even checking code you made hours ago [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final CS Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<wait_1_hour>> WHAT?? <<timed 2s>> i.. how... You should have realized it hours ago. Why did you have to spend so much time going in circles when it was just right here? <</timed>> <<timed 4s>> Digging through the mangled code you wrote so long ago, youre filled with more frusteration than anything else<</timed>> <<timed 5s>> And here you think youve found the bug. at long last... <</timed.> <<timed 10s>> It tunred out to be a minor mistake. why it took so long to find, and broke things so much is still a mystery. <<set $GE_Grade +=10>> [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final CS Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<timed 2s>> And with that major error out of the way, youre almost done. <</timed>> <<timed 4s>> You just have some last minute touches left.. <</timed>> <<timed 6s>> just some more last minute touches... please.... <<set $GE_Grade +=5>> [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final CS Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<timed 2s>> You cant believe it. Even at the very end, you still run into more issues. <</timed>> <<timed 4s>> Youre so so close.. just please...<</timed>> <<timed 6s>> Youve finished this latest patch of bugs. Now just to try to finally finish things off... [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final CS Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>

<<running_clock>> <<tick_stats>> <<wait_1_hour>> <<timed 2s>> it all seems fine so far...<</timed>> <<timed 4s>> you dont want to start getting too excited, but it seems fine still..<</timed>> <<timed 6s>> youve done it. the project is done. at long last.. you cant even celebrate, youre too tired. at least youre done. <<set $GE_Grade +=10>> [[Home]] [[Check health]] [[Final CS Project]] <</timed>> <</if>>
