<\/a><\/p>\n Desktop Rox is an asteroids-like game, which was based closely off an idea I wanted to play with, specificly rendering the game on top of the desktop, rather than in a window of it’s own. In hindsight, it took a lot of time to get\u00a0 all of the lower level rendering functionality I needed, so I wasn’t able to complete it to the level I wanted to. And, while I still have time, I’m really in no shape to be doing anything else with it at the moment \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
Next time I will assemble\/write some sort of library to reduce the workload, but for now I’m very glad I finished a game, and that it’s actually pretty entertaining to play – and it’s nice that the core design isn’t that bad, I’ll probably refactor it and stash it somewhere for future use. It was very rushed however, many things I wanted got left out completely or half supported and not really doing anything (sound, antialiasing, multiple rendering modes) and the UI is a very very hacky job (hope you can read the font)<\/p>\n

\n Also, if that one runs too slow or doesn’t work, I have a test mode build that you may be able to use in this archive: http:\/\/akkit.org\/ld48\/desktop_rox_final_alternate.zip<\/a><\/p>\n \n
