I got back to work about two hours ago (although I did stay up for an extra hour or two last night after saying I would sleep), and the game is coming along quite well.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, I have managed to add some of the extra gameplay ideas I had yesterday. The gameplay is now some kind of mix of asteroids and puzzle bobble – with an infection theme, and in glorious monochrome…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve also added a score (as you can see in the screenshot), and some basic sound effects – my musical skills are best described as NULL, so I’m not sure I’m going to add much more, but perhaps I’ll generate something with DrPetter’s sfxr if I think it’ll fit in (I found the debian\/ubuntu binary package here<\/a> if anyone’s looking for one as I’m getting unmet dependency problems installing libgtk to compile from source at the mo.)<\/p>\n

Still to do – lives, deaths, writing the score to the file, and some better physics – but it’s come along.<\/p>\n \n
