\"CatWithOnly1Life1stDay\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first day is done for me. I managed to do around 4 hours of game dev today (from\u00a018:00-22:00\u00a0local time). Installation of tools took some time and being a family man, 4 hours is what I had so the progress was limited, but this is where I’m at.<\/span><\/p>\n

The idea is to build a game of a cat with only 1 life (when everybody else around him has the typical 9). How he still can beat the others is something that you will see day 2… (hint: cats are stooopid, but the cat with only 1 life has to be smarter than the rest).<\/p>\n

The tools used: Visual C# 2010 with JyPeli <\/a>game programming library. Paint.NET was used for drawing sprite graphics.<\/p>\n

What was produced in that 4 hours was 10 or so sprites and ~250 lines of C# code. (and then I spent another 1:30 to prepare the timelapse, screenshots etc., but where is the fun in LD if you do not share?).<\/p>\n

If you are longing to see more of my process, see the timelapse:
