At last!<\/p>\n <p>I&#8230; kinda procrastinated a lot on this one, but I think I&#8217;ve got something good.<\/p>\n <p>First of all let me just give my thoughts on game maker (which is the tool I&#8217;ve decided to use this time, for some odd reason). This isn&#8217;t my first game in gamemaker. I used a lot of gamemaker when I was younger (mainly the drag and drop blocks were helpful) and it formed most of my understanding of programming. However I&#8217;ve only made one game prior to this game recently and I&#8217;m still getting to grips with GML (never learned it and I suppose now is probably a good time to start&#8230; HAHAHA)<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>I don&#8217;t like arrays in game maker<\/li>\n <li>I really don&#8217;t like arrays in game maker<\/li>\n <li>Seriously the way arrays are done in game maker is bad<\/li>\n <li>GML is really confusing and the way it works with game maker objects reminds me a lot of smalltalk in a bad way<\/li>\n <li>I couldn&#8217;t find a way to do inheritance and call the &#8220;super&#8221; function which would have been helpful but yeah that wasn&#8217;t possible I suppose<\/li>\n <li>googling for a function in game maker gives you a result which seemed to indicate &#8220;documentation&#8221; but 404&#8217;s when you click on it for literally everything I searched for.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>Ok my thoughts on making a game this weekend:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>I procrastinated a lot<\/li>\n <li>I never got tired of making Eminem say spaghetti (I&#8217;m a child)<\/li>\n <li>The idea of Eminem rapping with Macklemore is funny to me (again, see point 2)<\/li>\n <li>Adding content to a game is the most boring part of the game for me.<\/li>\n <li>I have not tested this game properly.<\/li>\n <li>I did all the sounds with my mouth where the sounds came out of. I think I sound good. I probably don&#8217;t sound good.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>Anyway, that&#8217;s enough introspection on what I&#8217;ve done, how about the game?<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>You can get the game here<br \/>\n |<br \/>\n |<br \/>\n |<br \/>\n V<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-28\/?action=preview&amp;uid=27397\">http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-28\/?action=preview&amp;uid=27397<\/a><\/p>","time":"December 15th, 2013 5:56 pm","title":"I\u2019ve finished!"}
