It&#8217;s something I have never coded before, but have wanted to try out. Honestly, the Ludum Dare is good for taking those kinds of leaps, but it&#8217;s unforgiving if I spend too much time learning something new and testing, testing, testing.<\/p>\n <p>Anyway, I don&#8217;t think I have lost too much by doing random maps. It will add the depth I want to this tiny world concept.<\/p>\n <p>Just added a simple monster chase AI, of course he&#8217;ll be running into walls a lot in the game, but that&#8217;s okay.<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>Current task list before the night is over:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Map themes, there will be 8 &#8220;biomes&#8221; on this little planet.<\/li>\n <li>Textual help and fanfare. As it stands, there are no words in the game yet.<\/li>\n <li>Main Menu and game states.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>If anyone would like to leave comments about the current testing demo, you can download it here: <a title=\"http:\/\/feyleaf.com\/downloads\/ld23-test2.zip\" href=\"http:\/\/feyleaf.com\/downloads\/ld23-test2.zip\">http:\/\/feyleaf.com\/downloads\/ld23-test2.zip<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/blue-thing\/\" rel=\"tag\">blue thing<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/demo\/\" rel=\"tag\">demo<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/map\/\" rel=\"tag\">map<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/pink-thing\/\" rel=\"tag\">pink thing<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/roguelike\/\" rel=\"tag\">roguelike<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/screenshot\/\" rel=\"tag\">screenshot<\/a><\/p>","time":"April 21st, 2012 2:36 pm","title":"First Screenshot"}
