+Testing... 1, 2, 3, TESTING!

+Warning: Boring backend discussion.
+
+Last night, I began working on a testing framework for the website as a whole. I'm using Karma, Jasmine and Istanbul, which should give me a good view of the code as I write tests and refactor it as I go along. I've created a separate branch of development to do all of the testing, so the current production build of the game won't have partially complete refactoring to worry about.
+
+I'm hoping to just switch out the current build for the refactored build within a week or so, altgough that is definitely a lot of work for me. On the upside, I at least know a lot more about what I need to do now.
+
+I know I promised to push a gameplay update every monday, but that's unrealistic at this point.
+
+In other news, I might be getting a new coder to help out on a volunteer basis - nothing is set in stone yet, and they won't start until after the refactoring is done. But I'm looking forward to having some extra help.
