BIG progress with dog breeding
whats been done so far
:: breedingrequests is about 6000 lines total.
1. it has been broken up and organized
2. it has been optimized down by about 80%
3. an abstract structure named 'breeder' now supports breeding with multiple things (this means cross breeding, perhaps other animals, such as horses or cats, etc)
4. the components are all interchangeable, making for easier updates
5. the framework, which was rather complicated, has been setup and working.

what needs to be done:
1. each of the components now needs to be integrated back into the breeder.
2. breeding needs to be tested.

once this is done, remainder of site is gonna go down much faster!

except for the actual baby maker button.

general improvements across the board,

whats made it in

Breeding is now integrated into 1 page.
if you are not the owner,
any dog's page you visit now shows offers you made to breed with this dog.

if you are the owner,
shows you breeding requests received by this dog,
shows you any breeding offers you have made to OTHER dogs.

requests and offers now link to dog and the owner.
a thumbnail of the dog requesting the pairing is also shown.

glitch dogs can now be requested/declined by the lessee with a checkbox, with final approval by the lessor.

what didnt make it in...

there are a few cosmetic issues still lingering through the whole dog section. I'd like to get mission critical things like breeding up, and custom dogs / pup predictor 2.0

I was gonna give the requester (lessee) the ability to edit comments for breeding requests. but I decided against it, since then I would have to log the change.

whats coming next.
( behind the scenes ...)
libraries have been constructed for management of breeding, dogs, system messages , dog logs etc
(this is a major improvement. its basically what prevents alacrity adding features in a timely fashion, changing designs, upgrading etc)

integrated most of the dog functionality, allowing for upgrades, near total rewrite. 20k lines of code scrubbed was no easy feat.

breeding requests is in particular a disaster of epic proportions. after dog is set live, I'll have to then go back and finalize new breeding system design. for now, these are the improvements I can make to it.
