Hello:

Let’s look at the case of contribution 142. The challenge here was that the combinations available for testing were limited, requiring a significant amount of time to ensure everything was working correctly. The solution is a programmer-configurable database that will be extremely helpful for future scenarios where we need to force specific conditions for testing—a tool that will ultimately save us a great deal of time and, of course, money.

In the next video, we’ll create an example where the lines advance upon the completion of a specific maneuver—I’m not sure yet what that maneuver will be, but we’ll come up with something.

If someone from the community proposes an idea, we will try to implement it.
