Day 3 and 4
Day 3 progress.
I discovered after uploading my day 2 progress that the game loaded to a black screen. It was late so I just left it alone and figured I'd fix it later. However I left it way too late and didn't actually fix it on Day 3.
Day 4 progress.
I figured out that the 'black scree' issue was actually an exception when loading the game. This was because I was using System.Text.Encoding(437) to convert from unicode to code page 437 Ascii. It turns out that specific part of the .net dll is stripped out by Unity's build process. Rather than fix it, I hand rolled a lookup table. Dumb, but quicker for a jam project.
As a result of the bug, I did not have as much as progress I'd like. Half of my time was spent finding and fixing it. I did get a super simple menu in place, and a feature list for the rest of the project. Spoiler... it's a bit ambitious.
