I was up until 3AM trying to get some functionality in my program before heading to bed. I woke up about five and a half hours later, showered, and am waiting for toast for my breakfast. As of this writing, there is a little over 12 hours left in the competition, and I don’t have […]
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.
