I’m out

I’ve decided to stop because I have pretty much nothing done and I won’t be able to get anything done in the time left. All I have is a man with a torch that you can move around with the arrow keys, here’s a link if you want to see it http://code.mhartley.me/ld28.zip.

I usually use java so I decided to make a java library to use for this ludumdare with all the code I normally have to write every time, I wanted to embed a scripting language in it so I used rhino to embed javascript in my java application. The problem was that I only started making this library on Thursday, so I was far from done and had many bugs. So I spent most of this ludumdare trying to fix stuff which was not fun. I always seem to have problems using java and embedding javascript in it was a bit slow, next time I think I will try something different. Notch has been using Dart and webgl this weekend which looked interesting, maybe I’ll try Webgl next time, I will also make sure I’m completely ready before it starts.
