Hey! So, it is about six hours or so into the LD, I am getting pretty tired and I am about to retire. Just a little bit of an update before I leave. (This was written at 3AM, expect\u00a0minor\u00a0<\/em>mistakes.)<\/p>\n

Idea updates: This turning into more of a “typing” game. Then a survival random game or whatever I thought it was going to be. I struggled for four hours with the simplest problem that I am pretty far behind now. I\u00a0HAD<\/em><\/strong> a\u00a0working\u00a0<\/em>menu, but something with cin >> and while(1) broke taking input. Seems hard. Will come back to it tomorrow.<\/p>\n

How I \u00a0am liking C++: I am glad I know C++ alright before going into. That being said: There are some problems I just can’t get around, weather it is MinGW being a nipple muncher, or me being a sleep deprived butt face, I just can’t get around them. This time, I tried for four or five hours on one really simple problem, and couldn’t fix it. So, I took a different approach, and \u00a0got it sort of working. (Losing some functionality, but still.) I am glad that I at least know C++ pretty well this time, I am not amazing-fantabulous<\/em><\/span>\u00a0at it yet, but I am getting there.<\/p>\n

All in all, I am pretty sure I am going to finish this one! I have a pretty solid concept, a nice background in the language, and a bit of motivation. I am kind of mad that the LD started at 9PM my time, but oh well. (I feel sorry for my mates in the UK, LD started at like 2AM for them. p_o (ITS A MONICAL! HAHAHAHAHAH! I am far too easily amused at 3AM.)<\/p>\n

Alright guys, I am gonna get some sleep. Pick this up in the morning. Night guys. <3<\/p>\n \n
