I stared writing Bjorn McGomez I<\/a> at about 1 PM on Sunday, and I wrote it from scratch; the only part that existed before yesterday was the font.<\/p>\n

This is the first time I’ve built a game from start to finish, and it’s been a real learning experience. I realize that maybe starting off with just the game model and no actual way of viewing it other than console.log() was probably a bad idea, but it let me rapidly build the rooms and “AI” (I use the term in the loosest<\/em> possible way – the game won’t be winning any Turing tests anytime soon.)<\/p>\n

And then came the procrastinating<\/strong>; I couldn’t decide what kind of setting to slap on top of my code, so I eventually went with “kinda crazy”. Hence the ability to roundhouse-kick and supplex lobster-people.<\/p>\n

Also, it’s about being on one screen in three ways. First, you play it on one “screen”. Second of all, the McGuffin you’re after is a screen. Thirdly, the excuse plot is about a military screening operation.<\/p>\n

I hope you luverly people give it a try; it does have six endings, which is really a case of the writing getting away from me (it’s really easy to write a “page” when you are using HTML!)<\/p>\n
