I’d been hoping to start LD18 with a brand spanky new engine to mess with.
\n That’s not quite been the case, however, due to work commitments and stuff.<\/p>\n

This leaves me with three options, really:
\n 1) Resurrect my old engine from it’s grave, for one more beating.
\n 2) Be a lunatic, and write everything in the 48 hours ( no doubt spilling over to the Jam as well… )
\n 3) Use this week to try expand my current engine beyond five source files, containing probably about a couple hundred lines in total.<\/p>\n

As option one will lead to defeat ( the engine’s really knackered, there isn’t really any frame-rate independence in there at all, and the timers are all wobbly – the time mangling effects in Yargh! is proof enough of that! ) that leaves me with the other two.<\/p>\n

So, I think I shall get the bare minimum of an engine ( load images, sounds, etc.. and display\/play as appropriate! ) done this week, so I’ve some foundation to start with.. else, I’ll be wasting time building up framework code ( or hacking around existing broken code, ) and I’m not particularly good at time keeping, as the previous failed attempts will show \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Engine code bared to all will be available here: http:\/\/svn2.xp-dev.com\/svn\/stuckie-SGEngine\/trunk\/<\/a>
\n Looking forward to this one… think it’ll be very interesting \":)\"<\/p>","time":"August 16th, 2010 12:50 am","title":"Declaring\u2026 something\u2026"}
