I am done with my very first entry to Ludum Dare! \u00a0I haven’t been able to get on the internet for long enough to post about it until now. \u00a0If this disqualifies me from the competition, so be it, I still want to share this idea. \u00a0I started it last night. \u00a0It’s called: Sweepers! Tools used: Love2D with the HUMP library,\u00a0http:\/\/www.bfxr.net\/<\/a>\u00a0for sound effects, and very primitive vector graphics. \u00a0Screenshots:<\/p>\n

The premise:<\/p>\n

The game resets if you lose. \u00a0I did not have time to do proper scoring or persistent high scores, and evolution does not work at all\u00a0after the reset occurs. \u00a0You will have to start the program again if you want to play without the bugs. \u00a0It’s a .love package, so you will need Love2D 0.8.0 to play. \u00a0Enjoy! \u00a0It’s here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am overall pleased with the mechanic, but that’s about all I’m pleased with. \u00a0I don’t really think I will win (or even come close), but this is one of the best experiences I’ve had in a long time. \u00a0I will be participating (correctly :P) just about every time from now on.<\/p>","time":"August 26th, 2012 4:30 pm","title":"Sweepers!"}
