I made a title screen o_o.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Sometimes I wonder if I spend too much time\u00a0focusing\u00a0on things like title screens and main menus, but I really never feel like a game is finished unless it has them. Also it’s the simplest case for the “GameMode” class that I re-create with every single project; it’s just a class that encapsulates a particular combination of visualization, simulation, and input. It’s good for switching between things like “Main Menu”, “Inventory Screen”, “Map Screen”, and “Overworld View”. Or whatever. You get the idea.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of these days I should make a real library \/ framework for my flow control code and other stuff. Maybe after this LD I’ll try to extract some of the nicer bits and do just that.<\/p>\n

Anyway, back to work!<\/p>","time":"April 29th, 2011 8:04 pm","title":"Hour One"}
