i can only dream of competing now!
(code showing that one character alone has 54 lines of code compared to the previous cat's grand total of 2. this number is still counting.)

AT THE VERY LEAST. IT'S BETTER THAN THE RUBIKS CUBE YOU CANT EVEN SEE... i will never get over the fact i spent time making sure it was a valid shuffle and it's not even fucking visible under the filter and static

yeah there we go

a free million dollars? ok

somehow despite me racking up a penalty of 12 on a room, it did not break this system despite meaning there were negative values being checked
on top of this, adding the penalty system somehow made the pathing feel smarter before the penalty system even came into play for some rooms???

i noticed the characters were getting stuck in corners so i added a penalty system to revisiting rooms in a short amount of time
this penalty system subtracts values from a 1-10 rng to make a weighted room picker more favorably pick new rooms than rooms recently visited

the keybinds are also getting wild (i have like 35) but not all of those are visually represented

like if it were not for graphics and side content and polish i would be done with tscobbb tomorrow or saturday . very comforting actually knowing this is about as hard as it's going to be from now on

okay in fairness it gets pretty stupid looking now sometimes but thats because i cant be asked to spend 3 hours rendering every time i do something
