I will be commenting here about every two hours of the progress of the game
\n that im going to create for the competition.<\/p>\n

Hi Everyone. Im ready to hear the title anouncement grabbed dinner and ready
\n to go. After the title i will think a bit what the game is going to look like
\n and get started on the mechanics of it :D.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8:25 pm<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Got the character animation running right now is just a stick figure that
\n changes color and working on using the accelerometer for movement. At the moment
\n having issues since i have never used the accelerometer before and he seems like
\n he is not that much into cooperating. Will post back around 11 hopefully i can
\n do some screenshots The game is about an australian guy fighting his way to the
\n outback to go get to a bar.<\/p>\n

Finally got the accelerometer controls down and it works in conjunction with
\n the animation. Used the pattern to manage scene that I used in there is no place
\n for gnomes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Plan on adding the buttons to be able to kick, jump and change weapons now. a
\n Screenshot of what is looking like so far is not much but it\u2019s a good start.<\/p>\n

Moved to work on creating buttons got 3 of them and found optimal placement
\n for the gameplay also went ahead and added gravity in to the game since at the
\n moment I haven\u2019t added a floor the character falls pretty easily through the
\n floor. I have decided that the tile space for the level is going to be as
\n follow. 30×30 tiles with 14 tiles of height and then 40 tiles of width.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another screenshot below has you can see not too mucho to look at the moment.
\n I\u2019m trying to get the mechanics solid and figure out the spots that need
\n animations and later on I will reskin. The character is not on the screenshot
\n since he fell through the screen.<\/p>\n
