GET BACK TO WORK

This year, I hit a lot of milestones for this project that I’m really happy with! Cross-platform compile is working now, lots of long-standing issues have been fixed, and a lot of the cruft that was building up around this project has been swept away for a clean entry into the coming year.

I am still not entirely satisfied with the actual workload volume of how much I got done for 2019. 

Balancing work priorities, life priorities, and gamedev priorities has been a hell of a ride, and I’ve definitely taken on several sideprojects that took away from my main gamedev focus for large chunks of time.

Hang in there. Keep grinding it out. These games won’t make themselves!

Wanna make sure a file exists before you run something else, and maybe even **make** it yourself? Use a makefile!! Tired of doing annoying crap in bash/scripting to make your assumptions into guarantees? Make to the rescue!! (Maybe... using make is really really nice for what it's made for; it's not really a good scripting language)

Also, shoutouts to CMake for very similar reasons —though it's more development oriented, of course.
