Welp I’m turning in for the night. I’m fairly pleased with what I’ve got so far. I’ve spent most of the time so far experimenting with physics and tossing around some ideas. I’ve settled on an arcade-y platformer. You play an angry colonial pushing boxes of tea into the Boston harbor. A raft next to the boat springs the tea away for maximum awesomeness!<\/p>\n

I’m planning on making it a bit more violent than history, because that will make it more fun! I hope to have some redcoats chasing you around the ship and making things difficult.<\/p>\n

So far, I’ve laid out the ship and got some basic movement. In the morning, I’ll finish up the movement and start tossing boxes off the ship.<\/p>\n

I think the biggest obstacle is going to be the physics. The box physics will be easy, but during preliminary experiments my springboard kept flying away.<\/p>","time":"January 21st, 2011 11:49 pm","title":"1773 Progress"}
