I&#8217;ve done some sound effects in SFXR, and I&#8217;ve added some special effects for the sun (graphics for that generated in GIMP). I decided to scrap all my prototype code and rebuild something with a more sensible structure, then realised that&#8217;s probably not a good idea, so now I&#8217;m soldiering on with my old code again. My next job will be to add in something to report the end of a launch&#8230; how far travelled, how much gold was earned, and any special achievements awarded. (It won&#8217;t be a proper achievements system&#8230; just a &#8220;well done&#8221; message here or there.)<\/p>\n <p>Below is a screenshot of the game showing the sun special effects. It only appears when Icarus goes too high (nearly off the top of the screen).<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2011\/08\/21\/the-escape-continues\/2011-08-21-11-39-sun-effects\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-66122\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-66122\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/2011-08-21-11-39-sun-effects-300x247.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/2011-08-21-11-39-sun-effects-300x247.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/2011-08-21-11-39-sun-effects-550x453.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/2011-08-21-11-39-sun-effects.png 659w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>","time":"August 21st, 2011 3:42 am","title":"The escape continues\u2026"}
