Because finished is what I was with a few hours to spare, and finished is what I am right now!<\/p>\n

I’m pleasantly surprised with how well this went. \u00a0My idea was scoped very ambitiously, but I managed to get through nearly everything I envisioned (even saving and loading of genomes). \u00a0I learned a lot about genetic algorithms, too, a technique I’ve tried to implement in the past, unsuccessfully. \u00a0So that alone seems like a good use of a weekend.<\/p>\n

I also learned that I actually stink at making sounds. \u00a0Also, music takes more than an hour to do to satisfaction. \u00a0Perhaps next time I’ll make a purposefully silent game.<\/p>\n
