First major scrapping of code. The initial movement code was shoddy, at best. The train had pixel-based position, and the terrain was tile-based. Having this inconsistency made it really hard to actually do junctions and turns. Rewriting the track system into a node system, where each exit is a node, and movement is done as a simple linear interpolation between the positions of the two nodes that are connected at one point. <\/p>\n

That took longer than expected, around two hours per total. Junctions have also been worked in properly, with the train currently toggling the junctions as it passes through them.<\/p>\n
