Yesterday I wound up sleeping for about ten hours, which was a bit more than I expected.\u00a0 Once I woke up, there was a lot of subsequent rain which made me lethargic for a while, and then I was hammering out concepts on paper and trying to make concept sketches of UI at a local coffeeshop (hampered by forgetting to bring my eraser\u2014I was using physical pencils for it).\u00a0 Iced mocha for the win.<\/p>\n
Today, I switched to Haxe all the way!\u00a0 Suddenly.\u00a0 While also having an overambitious, multiplayer game idea.\u00a0 This\u2026 might be kind of foolish.\u00a0 But it seems to be working acceptably from a technical standpoint, and I wasn’t keen on the idea of writing large chunks (larger, I realized, than I previously thought they’d be) of my code twice, and I also wasn’t keen on trying to use node.js without puking.\u00a0 I’ve got a basic WebSocket setup going, and now I’ve been grinding out data models for the gameplay itself; I’m pretty sure I can make my core mechanic work at least enough to be playable by the jam deadline if I just keep plugging away at it.\u00a0 The more experimental stuff\u2026 I don’t know yet.\u00a0 Also I’m not sure how well the Haxe server side will handle many players.<\/p>\n
Unrelatedly, I’ve now tried Pizza Hut’s red pepper crust flavor.\u00a0 It’s not bad.<\/p>\n
