So today I decided to try and figure out how to warp. This involved finding a program that could open sqlites on my computer. After finding a suitable program, I backed up my sqlite and put it in a folder on my desktop. I then copied my sqlite again and placed it on the desktop. I opened it, messed around a bit, and put it back into my iPod to see if anything had worked. Nope. Didn't work. "Okay, well, then I guess this wont happen today", I thought. I deleted the sqlite and reinserted my backup. I then oened my game and promptly found out that my backup had become corrupted.

How? How did this happen? The only thing I did to my backup was move it from my iPod to a folder on my desktop. Now whenever I place or remove blocks in game an error pops up. I can still place stuff, but every time I do something I have to close the popup, and that makes building take forever. Even viewing my ships is difficult, because the error pops up when I move the camera.

My only option now is to delete my sqlite and start over. I'll keep the backup on hand to use to reference ship stats, but thats about it. Its a good thing I took picures of my ships, right?! Moral of the story: I'm no longer going to mess around with sqlites, as it seems that simply copying and pasting can corrupt them (which is odd because no other backups were corrupted). Good --- Day!
