Everything was going great, I finished my gfx and began to start coding. First let&#8217;s get the background showing, I normally start with a placeholder title screen. so I quickly whipped that up then proceeded to get the playstate up and running skipping my menustate. coding done, let&#8217;s test! Ok the title screen is working, pressing X to get to my playstate I see a black screen&#8230; hmmm&#8230; now my background is black with some starts one it&#8230; but what I was looking at wasn&#8217;t my background it was just a black screen. I tried several things, but nothing worked! %$#@! So I went to bed to sleep on it. I just got up, came back done and stared at it for about a minute or so and tried it again. Yep same black screen. So I decided to get some text on the screen just to test something else. Got the code in and&#8230; nothing!?! *SIGH*, and then it hit me like a ten ton truck! Remember when I said I got the playstate up and running skipping the menustate&#8230; well that was the plan but <strong>not<\/strong> what I coded&#8230; so yeah, I checked the titlestate and sure enough I switch to the menustate and <strong>not<\/strong> the playstate. This is not a good way to start an LD. But atleast I found the problem before wasting too much time&#8230;<\/p>\n <p>Screenshots to follow later this morning.<\/p>\n <p>-KunoNoOni<\/p>","time":"December 15th, 2012 6:45 am","title":"\u201cI\u2019m too old for this %$#@!\u201d"}
