That was a blast! I had no idea that I was even capable of completing a game so quickly. It almost makes me think that I shouldn’t spend as much time as I normally do keeping my code readable.<\/p>\n
I wasn’t quite able to finish my game – no win\/lose\/ending; but I was still able to make something playable, and write some pretty advanced code (an efficient path-finding algorithm from scratch). Even though my game’s pretty boring, I am glad I participated in the competition. I believe it has made me a more efficient and more confident coder, and to an extent, artist. I will most definitely be doing this the next time around too. But for now, I’m going to take a break from coding. I’d say those 2300 lines should be worth at least a week off.<\/p>","time":"August 21st, 2011 8:02 pm","title":"Now that it\u2019s over, I have time to blog!"}
