Because finished is what I was with a few hours to spare, and finished is what I am right now!

I’m pleasantly surprised with how well this went.  My idea was scoped very ambitiously, but I managed to get through nearly everything I envisioned (even saving and loading of genomes).  I learned a lot about genetic algorithms, too, a technique I’ve tried to implement in the past, unsuccessfully.  So that alone seems like a good use of a weekend.

I also learned that I actually stink at making sounds.  Also, music takes more than an hour to do to satisfaction.  Perhaps next time I’ll make a purposefully silent game.

My art is decent (but it looks a lot better in motion).
