Greetings Universe.
I know I've been very quiet the past two weeks, but rest assured I am still alive and well.
I have been very busy making some solid progress.
I still live in the world of MEL since my logic does tell me to stick with it a bit longer, at least until I have gotten a better fundamental understanding of it, so far it started out as an alien language that had some patterns to it and then it slowly started to make more and more sense.
Now I have been working on optimizing the code I have so far and by doing so I have gotten a much better understanding of how it works.
Last week I managed to take my code from 4815 lines down to only 2209 thanks to loops, and today I even managed to get it down to 645 lines thanks to proc.
That is actually 14% of the original length.
And yes, it is very frustrating to just find out about proc now, especially since it makes everything so much easier and cleaner. And no, I have no idea how I managed to not find out sooner, but you know me when I start researching 1 thing I always end up researching 7 different things at the same time and my brain short circuiting. And yes, I feel like a complete doofus right now, but I need to learn how to crawl before I learn how to run.
Even though the code is still a complete mess and far from done, it is at least a lot easier to modify and change now.
Here is just a short video of the super short code, you can at least see how much faster and shorter it is compared to the original one. (If you read my previous post that is)

P.s. I really shouldn’t have renewed my wow subscription after 3 years, but I desperately needed something that would make me stop working 15-hour days.
