Well, I got my game done, which is the important thing. Sadly, whenever I exported it as a executable jar file, it would not run, although there were no syntax or otherwise errors in the project, and it ran fine in the IDE. :/ 48 hours wasted? Possibly. At least I have a game to show for it, I just need to figure out how to get my resources to load properly after export. I am quite disappointed in Java, Eclipse, myself… Honestly it should work, but whatever. I’m already too late. Guess I’ll have to wait until the next LD. In April, I believe?

Good job to everyone who made it! And good luck to all Jam participants! Finish stronk!

Oh, and here’s a screenshot of my finished tower defense game. It’s more of an engine, because I didn’t allocate time to creating more towers or enemies or projectiles, but I could easily implement more, and I think I will just for my own enjoyment. All code for this was made from scratch in the 48 hours, so I’m pretty proud that it works and is actually pretty nice.

Obama towers, terrorist and Nic Cage enemies!
