Since there’s a lot going on in my life right now I didn’t commit to LD very seriously, but joined for fun in hopes to have a few hours to spare this weekend. Still, I thought I’d have *something* to submit, since I had chosen a really small scope; but alas :\/ From my previous checklist, I did manage to add TileD level file importing, a tilemap, tool for digging, a few tile types, and that resources die if they touch the environment. Game still needs escalators and a goal. Sound, graphics and menu would be a bonus \ud83d\ude1b Performance is *terrible* though…<\/p>\n

Also renamed the game to “OverMiner”. The goal of the game is to mine resources, and transport the minerals to the exit. The code is rather so-so, but if you’re curious about how to do game development with Swift and SpriteKit on Mac and\/or iOS, I’ve published the code on GitHub<\/a>. It’s about 500 lines.<\/p>\n

Would be fun to port this to iPad. Maybe with an online community level editor it could be pretty popular?<\/p>\n

Here’s a gif of my progress after day 2:<\/p>\n
