I’m starting to wonder if I’ll ever get back to TDD, but for now I have a main menu background.
I plan on starting this game by mousing over the start button, the same way Minimalist did. I like the idea that the menu gets you used to the mechanics of the game. Maybe I’ll have […]
The sad thing is that most likely I’ll end up using this background and the castle in the finished game. The stick figures will have to go, though. I didn’t mock up the archers, knights, or boiling oil, but that can come later.
I decided that I need more practice with TDD and so skipped quite a few unit tests to get a blank SDL window up that I can close. The 10 passing tests I currently have were great for splitting off a Timer class from my Game class, but I can’t afford to spend too much […]
I ordered the vegetable entree from a Thai restaurant, and the person on the phone asked me what kind of meat I would like. That’s why there is chicken. I also asked for vegetable egg rolls, which were smaller than I expected, but they did have only vegetables in them.
As of this writing there are only 23.5 hours left in the competition.
And my project is in bad shape. I have some decent notes, but the actual implementation is lagging. I have to remember that I still need to create art and sounds, not just code.
Will I make it? I should, even if it […]
I took a little longer than I expected to get back from lunch.
That’s a Turkey Twister sandwich on pretzel bread and fries, and I ordered a basket of tater tots. As you can see, I tried to make a tower. Maybe it is more like a ziggurat?
Here is the initial design I’ve come up with. Over a year ago I wrote down a one-liner idea about defending a castle, and these notes flesh it out a bit more.
I want a microphone because I really do want my knight to say “STAB!” when you mouse over him.
Since so many people got a kick out of my Awesome! brand paper towels, I thought I’d juxtapose them with my Optimum Power cereal:
Awesome. Just awesome.
Last time Minimalist surprised everyone. This time, Tower did. It’s weird how surprising it is when it was voted upon!
The IRC channel is filled with talk about what can be done. I spent the first 30 minutes eating dinner.
I made vegetable stir fry and rice. The rice came out surprisingly well. I also put […]
