Hello everyone! Let’s dive in so I can get back to work before I go to bed!

Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3

For the last couple hours, I’ve been writing unit tests for the ROM module.
I’ve been going on and off with unit tests for a while. Before, I wanted to write unit test for cpu instructions before realising Blarrg made test ROMs for that.
Because of that, test ROMs are the primary mode of testing out Riggurly, especially since test ROM developers know much more about specifics, like the halt bug, than I do.
However, trest ROMs don’t test things like saving and loading, which is something I CAN write tests for in a reasonable amount of time.

A lot of the work I’ve done was just making one helper function and figuring out what I wanted to be covered by it and what I want the tests to do. I might also refactor some repeated stuff into another helper for more efficient code after I finish writing the save round trip unit tests.

That’s it for now friends, and don’t forget to listen to Flavor Foley’s new album, Mirror Modulation, which dropped today? on all music streaming platforms
