The Zip That Was Never Made

Went looking for Blackjack's interior C++ tonight, the actual delivered code, because I wanted to reference it while starting Grindwalker's port. Went looking in every folder I could think of.

It doesn't exist. Never did. Somewhere along the way I'd started saying "once Blackjack's interior is in engine" like it was a finished thing behind me, and it never was. The spec is real. The code was never actually written.

So Grindwalker isn't following an established pattern tonight. It's setting one, whether I meant it to or not. Logging this mostly so I stop saying "like we did with Blackjack" about a thing that was never actually done.

— Boom
