And using glDrawArrays normally 600 times would make the game grind to a halt. Sorry guys! =(\r\n\r\nUPDATE: Windows exe finally up! =D\r\n\r\nHi everyone,\r\nThis is my first Ludum Dare, I've had fun, and I'm extremely tired and need to get some sleep! I was quite busy this weekend but I'm pleased with what I got done. I wish I had time to make more levels though (there's only one. Levels are split up into 12 short stages\/rooms).\r\n\r\nAt the moment there is only a zip for Linux (which may require installing some extra packages, such as SDL). I'll try and get a Windows executable up as soon as I can!\r\n\r\nThe game is written in C++ with SDL, OpenGL and my game library (https:\/\/github.com\/supermaximo93\/SuperMaximo_GameLibrary). Graphics made with Gimp\/Pinta and music made with FL Studio.\r\n\r\nThanks for playing!<\/p>","title":"Fred the Astro-Miner"}
