About three hours to go and my own code structure has started burying me alive under a pile of unscalable objects. I’ve got a to a point where adding anything new that needs to be rendered would mean re-writing probably about half of my rendering engine to make it fit in properly without redrawing issues. I really should have gone for an event-driven structure, I dunno how I thought I could’ve gotten away with doing it without. Would’ve made my life so much easier.<\/p>\n

Well on the up side, it’s been an absolute blast of fun, and its taught me so much more about the Java language and about writing game engines from scratch. I can, not even 48 hours after starting the programming, think of so many ways I could re-write the code to be more scalable, more efficient, and more lightweight. This is the only problem really, I can do the re-writing, just don’t have the time to get it done for LD. I’ll certainly be taking my experience with this LD as something to learn from in the future.<\/p>\n

Good luck to everyone in the voting stages and I’ll hopefully see you around for LD 23.<\/p>\n
