Just some basic bug fixes.

I've been struggling with a concept for a few days now and haven't managed any to get any commitable code done, but thinking time counts right? :p

To compensate I worked on a draft for my next couple of blog posts about this sprints developments and why I'm developing my game in Elm.

Not much to report on tonight. I made a start on allowing components to also contain components in their layout but nothing major, also added in multi-line commenting because I was lazy with my lexer and didn't bother, but that's been fixed now.

Anyway, it's FRIDAY. Woo.

Did some more of the exercises from chapter 7 of Starting Forth. This time was 7.3 & 7.7.

7.3 I found to be nearly trivial. The biggest annoyance there was doing a busy wait sleep function. After looking at their answer, it was somewhat nice to find out 500 MS could be used.

I thought 7.7 was going to be nearly trivial. I got a single cell version working very quickly. However, upon rereading the excercise, I realized they were specifically asking for a double cell variant (which makes sense in retrospect since I think they did a similar quadratic function in an earlier chapter.) It ended up taking me a fair amount of time to really work that out, but at least I had a working single cell variant to double check my work with.

I ended the night with playing around with defining a word: d* ( d n -- d ) However, I didn't really get it working.
