I should probably start with where I got the idea so here we go: It was 6AM for me, I woke up earlier so I could check out what the theme was and start programming. I don&#8217;t feel comfortable programming at night, so I rather went to sleep earlier the day before. Then I woke up and checked out what the theme was. Once I found out it&#8217;s 10 seconds, I was really excited and glad it was that. You can basically take any famous game concept and re-work it to fit this theme. My first idea was to create a platformer where each level would take 10 seconds. That wouldn&#8217;t however be very good, since I&#8217;m not good with collision and tiled maps. Then, I realized I have some experience with defense games. I once wrote a very very simple tower defense game. But tower defense game is too long for 10 seconds. So I had to think a lot to came up with base concept for 10 second defense. Once then, I started writing the code.<\/p>\n <p><strong>&gt;&gt; What went good:<\/strong>\u00a0Gameplay is pretty rich, sounds got implemented very fast, shop is working, game can be played infinitely, I had enough sleep that weekend \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n <p>&gt;&gt;<strong>What went wrong<\/strong>:<br \/>\n It took me some time to come up with the idea, I came up with lots of new ideas&#8230; during coding, so it was pretty much madness(you&#8217;d know what I&#8217;m talking about if you watched the stream <a href=\"http:\/\/twitch.tv\/tomsik68\">http:\/\/twitch.tv\/tomsik68<\/a>), GRAPHICS(that seems to be the only thing people hate about this game)<\/p>\n <p><strong>If you&#8217;re now interested in looking at the game, you can feel free to<\/strong><br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-27\/?action=preview&amp;uid=13547\"><strong>&gt;&gt; Check out the game &lt;&lt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>","time":"August 27th, 2013 1:52 pm","title":"10 sec defense Post-Mortem"}
