I ended up naming my game DESEEDER<\/a>! Because you’re destroying seeds.
\n For this game I tried out diagonal pixels! Sounds weird, but here’s what it looks like:<\/p>\n

\"DESEEDER<\/a><\/p>\n

You might be interested to see what it looks like when you DON’T rotate the game 45 degrees! Let’s find out:<\/p>\n

\"DESEEDER<\/a><\/p>\n

The programming logic was a bit confusing, until I started imagining the entire game in the unrotated version (second gif). I ended up only having to convert the coordinates in the renderer, to make my collision still based on rectangles<\/a>!<\/p>\n

If you have any questions about how I did any part of the game, let me know! Here’s the link again: DESEEDER<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m excited to check out everyone’s games! I’ll definitely prioritize yours if you let me know about it! There’s no shame in self-promotion right now <3<\/p>","time":"December 14th, 2015 1:59 am","title":"Behind the scenes!"}
