Steampunk Cavern Crawl Into the Darkness by Kimau

[raw]
made by Kimau for LD15 (COMPO)
Okay this was meant to be a Wizardy style dungeon crawl into the depths of a dinosaur kingdom....

Kinda a fail on my part but I got something together in the end.

So what went wrong...

Day 1:
Spent 80% on it making a random cavern generator which made fully connected natural caverns. Other 20% on basic tech.

Day 2:
* Wasted 4 hours pixeling (should have gone basic)
* Wasted about 5 hours on Marching Squares smoothing algorithm
* Wasted another 5 hours trying to get shadow projection working.
* Wasted more time on inane SDL glitches

-------
Total time spent on actual game code: 3hrs tops.

Ah well lesson learned :P
