PHP was upgraded slightly to give me access to additional features to make this go faster.

I cant upgrade php too much, the website runs on very old code.

let me know if you see any errors

ok,

training: done
basic skeleton displays: done
lineage: done (AND IMPROVED!!)

with the help of bobbie, I found the most inbred dog of all time. at first, I thought there was a bug in my program. no. this was just one super inbred dog 🤣

it works.10 generations of inbreeding. I'm probably going to go back and fix that in the future after I finish dogs / everything else.

suffice to say I found that pretty darn humorous

anyway, I'll have something for us in a day or 2 after some copious amounts of housecleaning of the new code.

I got a little busy with life,

heres the update so far on dogs.

its a large set of files to work through. so far, editing information, services pricing (buy / lease) , sending to pound and retiring. additionally most of the display has been finished.

much of the work is going on behind the scenes working on creating a library for dogs, and this is where the time is going.

Most of this will be done shortly, and then I can begin integrating the new dog display framework.

after the dog display is finished, I can then make LARGE improvements to the game speed.

Why? the dog database is very large, and poorly designed. once all the code for dogs in general is consolidated, I can do a redesign on the backend and improve the speed.

This is the meat and potatoes of alacrity. once this is done, I think generally speed and playability of the game will improve!
