I’ve started working on my game.<\/p>\n

Yesterday lying in my bed I thought about games I could make and was most intrigued by non-euclidean space. Due to the lack of any better ideas I’m now using one of my ideas from yesterday, a world that uses polar coordinates. Which admittedly is not non-euclidean, just non-cartesian. I mixed those two up. Whoops.<\/p>\n

So I started with a somewhat difficult, but very essential part, the rendering engine. I’m using a software renderer, I just hope this won’t be too demanding on the cpu in the end. It can only display “rectangles” so far, but I don’t plan to use anything more complicated. Well, I haven’t planned much anyway.<\/p>\n

I haven’t thought about gameplay that much yet, it’s some kind of platformer obviously. I’ll need some kind of special item which you get (“Take this!”) – so far I don’t know what that will be.<\/p>\n

I think I’ll take a break and think about it.<\/p>\n

So long,<\/p>\n
