I did it! I turned the simple physics concept into a game! I’m pretty happy with this one.  The pace of the game is a lot slower than I originally planned.  It’s pretty hard to have things all your own way when it comes to physics libraries.  The game is pretty fun, I think. It takes a lot of patience to keep the carts from spilling everywhere but you can’t go too slowly as there is a timer on each level.

The graphics turned out OK.  I think they’re a bit grungier than I would have liked but our hero is down a mine after all.

I didn’t have time to add a lot of polish I would have liked:

• A roof to the mine
• Support struts
• Sparks while braking
• Other minecart trains whooshing around in the background
• Parallax scroll
• Any sound whatsoever

But that is always the case when I enter LD
