Today’s exercise was to find all the rectangles in an ASCII art drawing of spaces, +, -, and |. I think my code is a nice readable version. You don’t need a dozen functions for this. I did see one guy tracing around the edge of each rectangle which was cool, but the four or so functions to do it not so much. I did get tripped up for a while when I wasn’t allowing + in the horizontals and verticals.

Today I started on the game scene. That required making at least one level so I made level 1. The levels in Tempest are shapes so hopefully that fits the theme well enough. Nothing works yet, the player isn’t even placed on the playfield.
