I had to reboot from 0 on saturday afternoon, because my first proto was too far from the theme. And even my final entry seems quite far : you only get 1 cell to save them all.<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>The good part were: code, graph, sounds&#8230; everything else. It went smoothly on every topic.<\/p>\n <p>I decided before the LD that I will try to make a game looking flat with no sprites (only code generated geometric forms), and that was really a good choice to speed things up and make it feel alive, because I&#8217;m so bad with graphics <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/frownie.png\" alt=\":-(\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><\/p>\n <p>I had no major code issues, appart from some variables not being accessible where I needed them, but it&#8217;s the usual shit.<\/p>\n <p>Sound was a major challenge as I did not use my drum machine for over 10 years, but it was like cycling : just 5 minutes and I remembered most basic features, and I just had like 1h of work overall to make an easy track + some sounds.<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>So, now have a look at my Game of Life and rate it please!<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-28\/?action=preview&amp;uid=15006\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow nofollow\">http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-28\/?action=preview&amp;uid=15006<\/a><\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-28\/?action=preview&amp;uid=15006\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-317931\" alt=\"Screen1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Screen12-300x225.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Screen12-300x225.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Screen12-550x412.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Screen12.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u00a0<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-317933\" alt=\"Screen3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Screen3-300x225.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Screen3-300x225.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Screen3-550x412.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Screen3.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>PS : I might do an android export next week if someone wants it (just need to make sure sounds, buttons and screensizes are OK)..<\/p>","time":"December 15th, 2013 4:29 pm","title":"A game of life variation to relax"}
