Ok guys, it’s time to do a first small post mortem after that Ludum Dare 26 \":)\" <\/p>\n

I’m proud of what I’ve done during this week-end, not only because I finished what I wanted to do, but because few month ago, I was already working on a shmup like the one I did. The main problem was that the main logic and a shitload of programming errors. No inheritance at all, bugs, optimization problems, etc. I worked something like 4 or 5 month on that crap before giving up. So doing MUCH better during only a week was a personnal challenge for me. And I did it!!<\/p>\n

Now, about the 48hours: I learned some usefull stuff, like using states in the main class to now the progression in the program ( like if I need to display the main menu or run the gameloop ), or like thinking a lot about the text structure I’ll use to create describe the levels. There’s actually only 2 levels in my game, because the structure made the creation\/filling of the levels something horrible and I lost a LOT of time doing that :\/ <\/p>\n

I know there are still bugs in the game, but with the base I own now, can think again about doing my danmaku ( and doing it for windows, linux and mac ).<\/p>\n

So, that Ludum Dare was a great experience, for the second time I did it, my game was really better \":)\" I know I’ll do the LD27 \ud83d\ude00 <\/p>\n

And for you:
