Progress is significantly slowing down for me.  I've hit a wall.  While I think my battle system mostly works, my assumption is that it's incredibly inefficient.  After varying number of turns, it decides to lock up and/or cause a kernel panic.  I'm trying to refactor things a bit which I think is helping, but there's much going on and I am not a dev by trade, so I'm not sure if it'll work.  I'm about ready to scrap the whole system and try again from scratch.  I assumed that using IF and nested IF statements was more efficient than using switch statements (where I can), but it isn't clear if that's true or not.  I'm trying to shoehorn 'switch' statements in there.  We'll see how it goes over the next week or so, but this is really making lose the drive I started out with and question whether I'm capable of doing this or not.
