I very nearly just gave myself a heart attack. I’ve been trying to hack in some simple particle effects (whee! collision-splash!) for what feels like ever<\/em>, and glanced at the clock as I finished it up. “10:30!” I exclaimed. “But it’s still light out!”<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh. That’s 10:30 AM. Very, very cool — I’ve got all afternoon and evening to either design a bunch more courses OR polish up the map & score server. Since the course editor is part of the game (hey, I needed the tool, and it was the easiest way to implement it…) all I need to do is provide some mechanism for players to share their courses. Also, some incentive. Fun fun.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now, onward to an options screen, followed by some LAMP hackery!<\/p>\n \n
