I’m now four hours into LD, and I have a prototype. This is farther than I got last time (at this point, I had quit :P)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The prototype has a level-loading capability so I can easily make levels using ascii art…<\/p>\n
var levels = {\n '0' : [\n ' ',\n ' _ ',\n ' ',\n '__S_____________',\n ],\n '1' : [\n ' _ ',\n ' ',\n ' _ST___ ',\n ' ',\n '__S____S________',\n ],\n }<\/pre>\n You can kind of make oue the ground (underscores). S is a springboard, T is a trap door. The result (level ‘1’) is on github<\/a>, where there is also a link to run the prototype. Use left and right arrows to move.<\/p>\n Going to sleep now (well, going to bed with my notepad, but you know..). Goals tomorrow:<\/p>\n
1.) Eat and Shower<\/span><\/p>\n 2.) Start putting together actual levels using the prototype, including additional types of items.<\/p>\n
3.) Once I feel comfortable with a few levels, build some graphics (including animations).<\/p>","time":"April 26th, 2013 11:05 pm","title":"4 hours in: working prototype"}
