Edit: No longer relevant, but remember to backup anyways. Managed to fix my computer in 3 days then reworked the game over the course of one day.
Yeah, so. Bad news.
I'm writing this on my iPad, but it seems that electricity outages in my area has caused my old desktop PC to pretty much BSOD.
It's possible to restore it, of course, but then I'd lose all the files I've been working on thus far, including several projects I have yet to release to the general public, as well as the in-progress version of Frog.
I managed to get a command prompt up and have found a way to get to the user login screen, but on the user login screen keyboard/mouse input don't work at all, and I'm not exactly sure how to save both my files and my computer. (Hey, it's like the dilemma of a pregnant woman! Save the baby or save the lady? Except in this case it's probably impossible to save the baby.)
Boot in safe mode has literally caused a BSOD, along with a restart. Really, I have no idea what to do at this point. I could ask my father (a tech guy) but he's probably going to just reinstall the entire OS. Ugh.
So, until the computer gets back up and running, Frog 2.0 probably won't be coming out of the floorboards anytime soon.
Moral of the story: ALWAYS BACK UP FILES. ALWAYS.
This is a word of warning. Back up those files now, to Skydrive, Dropbox... anything. Just make sure that your files have some copy of themselves out in the cloud.
You might think it'll never happen to you (honestly, I thought it'd never happen either), but it might, whether from power outages or a spilled cup of coffee. One day, the person writing a rant about lost files might be you.
