Too much caffeine
Well damn, what a thing. First LD I took part in, first ever game I made. Learned quite a lot in the last two days I have to say.
Number 1 thing: if you get stuck, take a break. Even when time is short. Don't be like me and spend 2 and a bit hours on making a health bar that never worked :D
Overall this was pretty fun though, I will surely join again.
But oh my god, my code looks like a monster. A lot of the time I knew what I was doing is is definetly not how your supposed to do things, and often even sort of know how to do it better. But being an inexperienced hobbyist programmer, I at some point threw all good coding habits in the wind and made it quick and dirty. Methods made on the first day all have proper docstrings, the others, well, hmmmmm....
But, in the end, I made something that is a game, it does fulfill the theme, just barely and not very creative, but it does, and I made it from scratch. Within 48 hours.
Well, to be exact, according to my stopwatch, 23 hours, 22 minutes and 56 seconds of actual work :D
And, despite the code being a monster, the game being kinda crappy overall, I'm proud of what I made. And I had fun doing it. Mostly. :D
Anyway, sleep. I'll leave you with a gif of
