Going to sleep, but this is the furthest I’ve been in a LD and I actually have some things accomplished. \u00a0Notes for next time \/ review:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Collision detection: this does not work like on the c64. \u00a0Lost some time thinking I could do it that way, but – no, that would be slow IF it worked, which it will not as we do not have hardware sprites.<\/li>\n
  2. Math: I am not particularly good at math and need to review some basic things about this, though this was good practice (and I accomplished the math I set out to do.)<\/li>\n
  3. Swankypaint works very well for doing the gfx, use it again – easy to mock up, and easy to adapt afterward better. \u00a0(Was fun when the red car showed up and I went “holy crap, that actually looks _good_”)<\/li>\n
  4. Next time, just assume the theme will suck, take the ones you liked from the suggestion voting, put into a randomizer, and randomly pick that theme at launch. Then apply the sucktastic theme afterward.<\/li>\n
  5. The idea of working with a sucktastic theme isn’t so bad, it’s good practice, but then – you have other things to practice.<\/li>\n
  6. Do spend more time on this to get collision detection ideas in.<\/li>\n
  7. You didn’t get to the Dentistry part, mostly due to the collision detection (which was mostly math issues.)<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Ok sleeping, putting this away – may pick it up later and work on it (in particular, the dentistry part probably needs to be done.)<\/p>","time":"August 24th, 2014 4:38 pm","title":"portmortemish"}
