DAC project

I'm currently writing the documentation, about all the elements that I could add if I were to continue this project, and whilst I could add things forever, I feel kind of done with it now. I've had enough of staring at the same code and assets over and over again.

I've also out a lot of the assets onto the map so I don't have to separately load each asset in at the beginning of the sketch, which I honestly should have done at the start, I just didn't think of it.

I think that this might be an issue or limitation with p5.js but I'm not completely sure. The size of my project might be too big for it to handle which is annoying as it is currently the language I am best in and don't have the time to completely rewrite everything.

My project might soon be too large of a file for my computer to handle, which is a big issue as the assets are a large part of the piece.

The issue might just be with my computer, but I've never made any project this big in p5 so I'm unsure if its able to be used to make projects of this size. It keeps lagging my entire computer out, which hints at that its probably just my computer getting old.

The current assets loaded into the world, with working basic interaction code. This screenshot is of a photoshop document of a zoomed out map I'm making which I'll add to the game. I'd like to implement it so that when the user presses a certain key (probably m,) this image will be pulled up so they can navigate round the world easier.

Some parts of the code have taken me much longer than I expected, and some parts I'm still not sure how I'm going to be able to do, like the implementation of the world border - I've made this very complicated for myself by making it a very complex shape on the map. Overall, my code is far from small and concise, but it does work which is what really matters in my eyes. de.

Therefore, I've shrunk the size of my map, so there is less space. I hope I am able to implement some kind of plot line or words to the world, as at the moment it is just an explorable virtual world, with no instructions or information as to what it is. I feel as if I'm quickly running out of time, and that I've thought far too far forward in terms of ideas, instead of staying realistic with what I can actually do.

Some notes & ideas I've written down

1st image is the first draft I made of the map of the world, with my intial ideas on where everything should go & its general layout.
