*insert link to my own game*<\/a><\/p>\n

*insert congrats to 10 years LD like “CONGRATULATIONS TO 10 YEARS OF LUDUM DARE!!!”*<\/p>\n

TL;DR<\/strong><\/p>\n

Used:<\/strong> Flixel, FlashBuilder, Paint.NET, GraphicsGale, Google App Engine, Eclipse, sfxr<\/p>\n

Good:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– made a game which connects to a backend server, something I wanted to do in a long time<\/p>\n

– played with Google App Engine, something I also wanted to do in a long time<\/p>\n

– I made a generic jumping game, also something I wanted to do as a case study. also, I don’t move the cars and I don’t move any camera, I just move the world \ud83d\ude00 (like the spaceship in Futurama does)<\/p>\n

Bad:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– I was hoping for survival, but meh<\/p>\n

– I’m not scared to look into library code, and for this LD, I dived a bit into flixel to get a continuous background animation and some other stuff. Still, I should have done it as warmup, as it took a bit time<\/p>\n

– it took way to long to create a servlet with about 100 lines of code. too many bugs and it ate up 4hours<\/p>\n

– had to release a bugfix because I was programming in Flash Builder, which deactivates the security sandbox, making the game get stuck. Didn’t realize that until this morning<\/p>\n

– I forgot to give the game a name! When I opened the upload form, I had to reopen my mainscreen.png and add a name to it<\/p>\n

– I don’t feel that the game I made represents my thinking. It’s not funny, and I like funny games :\/<\/p>\n

Timelapse time!<\/a><\/p>\n
