– Created a shooting game with a lot of enemy fire. And the flower effects went surprisingly well<\/p>\n
– very happy that the radar worked correctly!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Contra:<\/p>\n
– when I was creating sound effects, they didn’t sound right and I took them out again. That was lost time. should have made bgm instead<\/p>\n
– shouldn’t have made the enemies’ movement “random” :D. So some of them are having flowers, others don’t<\/p>\n
– i know, the shootings are kinda crazy, but they aren’t crazy enough! ^^ should have been MUCH more<\/p>\n
– i didn’t wanted to use wingdings as enemies, but, you know, no time and such. i also wanted to have them animated, but that would have taken even more time<\/p>\n
– there’s a big performance problem if you get to the end. Reminder for myself: don’t make the collision calculations in the laser shots if you create around 360 every second, lasting for at least 10 seconds each<\/p>\n
– i also wanted to add a possibility to move left and right, but having the calculations in euclidic dimensions crashed my brain at hour 42 \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
So, this LD was a nice experience again! To all alpha-testers and fellow programmers: have fun!<\/p>","time":"December 14th, 2009 8:54 pm","title":"Spacexplorer: Post-mortem"}
