That didn’t take long, and since I thought about it a bit more, and I don’t actually use the command “PUSH” anywhere except in the test I just added for this, it’s probably fine to move on without running all the tests. I’ll talk about that and then also what I’m deciding to tackle next, involving a big bug with the Propositional Reckoning Viewer.
First, I am definitely taking a risk here, because while I do not use the exact command “PUSH”, I do use “ENTER”, which
also corresponds to the typing it on Action. But in those cases, Ada is not typing on a smartphone keyboard, which is
what I limited my rule to. In general, I’ve avoided ever actually having to type on a smartphone to use the various apps
because it would definitely get me in the realm of having to deal with arbitrary text, and that sounds like a lot of
work. Right now, the only place where typing it on is actually the command I mean to trigger is when the two-factor
authorization code is typed into the work laptop in the Apartment level. I’m likely to keep it that way, but we’ll see.
On the next issue to handle, when Ada is holding a Propositional Bul in her hand and looks at the Propositional Reckoning Viewer, there is a run-time error that occurs. Pretty simple root cause, I expect: when that application is shown, it is trying to query which Manifestation Altar each Propositional Bul is on and if it is not on any altar, such as in her hand the code must fail. I must allow her to hold it in her hand, because moving Propositional Buls between Altars is how she can switch what aspects of reality are… altered. (I didn’t actually consciously notice this pun until now even though I made a joke about it…)
But on to that!
