Had Shreddies for breakfast (no photo again – my family already think I’m a bit odd without me photographing my breakfast cereal). Then was busy until about 12:30, so it’s time to get cracking!<\/p>\n

Priorities today: (which I may well completely ignore…)<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Let the player move! Left, right, jump.<\/li>\n
  2. Let the player fire bullets, rather than them appearing from the centre of the screen! Hopefully with a mouse-click, if I can get that working within a reasonable amount of time. Shouldn’t be too<\/em> hard though, hopefully.<\/li>\n
  3. Have blocks interact with the player – ie, if they fall on your head you take damage.<\/li>\n
  4. Killable dinosaur, really simple.<\/li>\n
  5. Finish the level-scrolling code – I put a lot of it in already, but the level has so far been the same size as the screen.<\/li>\n
  6. Better dinosaurs.<\/li>\n
  7. Panic because I’m running out of time and still don’t have much of a game.<\/li>\n
  8. Levels, and finishing-up – sounds, maybe extra frames in animations, etc.<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

    This will probably last me way past noon tomorrow, when my 48 hours elapse. But oh well, that’s the way it is. I like this game enough that I’ll try to produce a snazzier version after the contest has ended.<\/p>\n \n
