I’ve been working on the level editor for the past few hours (yeah, hours… I suck). It is mostly done — now that the parts are coming together it hopefully won’t be too bad to put the rest of it together and actually create some viable levels for the game. One of the bigger tricks I got hung up on was making the level so much larger than the editor window. I didn’t realize it, but this is my first time making levels bigger than the screen so I had to figure out all the scrolling behavior I needed\/wanted. Not too bad, but something new.<\/p>\n

Before I can complete the editor, I need the art, so I just did that for a while. Quite frankly, the art is embarrassing. I’m not an artist at all, and the time constraints compound that into pure crap. So – apologies to everyone in advance. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I haven’t even started on sound, although I grabbed a copy of “flight of the bumblebees” for the main music. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>","time":"July 5th, 2008 7:06 pm","title":"Level Editor and Art"}
