    @PugJesus How many lines of code is that? A paper pile is not a metric that tells me anything! :D

      145,000 lines of code, but about 4x that is included in that pile in documentation.

      REMEMBER TO COMMENT YOUR CODE

        Printed letter paper has about 80 lines per page. Rough numbers let’s call it 100. That makes for 1,450 pages. Let’s double it by assuming lots of page headers, comments, half-filled pages, etc. So 3000 sheets of paper. A ream of paper is 500 sheets, so we’re looking at 6 reams. A ream is about 4 cm thick, but let’s call it 5 since there will be air and creases and whatever. So 30 cm gets us to about a foot high for our code, all printed out.

        I’m pretty sure my original question was correct, this isn’t the code. I’m pretty sure it’s the debug output.
