I now have to decide whether to go for a random level generator or whether to plump for designed levels. Each has it\u00b4s own merits, as with a procedural approach I have to worry less about content and design, but it will require more programming, and with a straight levls approach it will need kless programming but much more design!!<\/p>\n <p>Decisions, decisions! Actually, I may go for a mix of the two and try and have designed levels with random elements&#8230; Anyway, here&#8217;s a screen shot of my progress so far too :<\/p>\n <div class=\"mceTemp mceIEcenter\">\n <dl>\n <dt><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/04\/21\/busy-morning-so-far\/tinyworlds\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-123447\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-123447\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/TinyWorlds.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/TinyWorlds-200x300.png 200w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/TinyWorlds.png 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">First screen shot of the game<\/p><\/div>","time":"April 21st, 2012 6:33 am","title":"Busy morning so far!"}
