Bah, things have not gone as smoothly today as yesterday. \u00a0I should hopefully be able to get a simple game together but it’ll be style over substance. Here’s zombie Darwin walking on the collision mesh (I made a simple level editor to help me make it).<\/p>\n

Darwin throws books, there’s one enemy type you can kill. I’ve gone for a big drawing for the level … it’s about 1\/2 a meg which I guess is nothing these days.<\/p>\n

I’ve added 1 module to my engine to handle the keyboard and 3 extra functions around the rest of the place one for opening an url using the OS (windows only) and some for moving the 2d camera around. This is stuff that’s eaten into game dev time!<\/p>\n

(First time I’ve done a 2d collision mesh, it’s worked out ok.)<\/p>","time":"August 26th, 2012 11:12 am","title":"It\u2019s what time?"}
