Work from Real-Home Friday!!!!!

Though Fridays are work from home fridays, I went back to my home of origin in nyc for the weekend and worked from there.

I spent most of today figuring out how áccént márks and special ñ characters could be typed into the the spanish versio n of lemonade stand. On wednesday Qalthos instructed me on the difference between ascii and unicode characters It was a bit infuriating, because if something didn't work, it would break the entire game when that screen was reached, like if I tried to make changes to the day log's output, telling the messages to ".decode('utf8')" within a ".format()" block, or within the ".blit_to_block()" function. (FYI the "lemonade stand" link this time is to our github repo, not the wiki) In the end, I managed to fix it whenever it was in a larger font, such as the menu screen, difficulty screen, or shop heading. However, the log proved to be the most resilient, making me wait until I can ask a mentor on tuesday.

Today I also watched the Gentlemen's Semifinals at Wimbledon with my father, and though I haven't watched tennis in quite a while, it still very entertaining. I highly recommend watching tennis if you like tennis.
