My first Ludum Dare and I didn’t even expect to be able to make it – but thanks to a cancelled flight and 36 hours with not much sleep my entry is finally in.<\/p>\n

CaptureZ is written in Unity and gives you 10 seconds to build \u00a0fences to surround your prey so your flying saucer mother ship can abduct them.<\/p>\n

Pretty much all of the graphics are built out of Unity primitives with texturing from some photos I took. \u00a0The code is C# – it uses some of my public libraries available at http:\/\/unitygems.com<\/a> and NGUI for the UI.<\/p>\n

The hardest bit was getting the fence drawing algorithm right, testing for fence inclusion was easy but I’d improve the lining up when you close the loop if I had more time.<\/p>\n

It’s amazing what you can do in a day and a half…<\/p>\n
