As I woke up today, the final twelve hours of the project, I was resigned to failure.\u00a0 I almost decided to sleep in, forget the contest.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t need to push myself past the limit on something I never had any hope of completing from the start.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Forget that.\u00a0 No, its time to kick it to the next level.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As I have said, things look pretty bad for me right now. My level editor is only almost done, but that\u2019s only half the project.\u00a0 Currently, I can use it to place tiles on my map.\u00a0 I still need to program in placing down paths (the \u201crails\u201d on which the AI move around a level), as well as placing the enemies themselves.\u00a0 Then I need to program in the player\u2019s arsenal beyond just the ability to move.\u00a0 I need to program in an interface to decide whether to open the level editor, play the story mode, or play a custom level.\u00a0 I need to program at least two more enemies beyond the guy who can only see and move.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Oh, and I should note I wrote this at nine thirty in the morning.\u00a0 My internet connection isn\u2019t quite working right now, so on top of all that I might not even be able to turn in the damn thing on time even if I do complete it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s get to work.<\/p>\n
