\"hero_school_a.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Have made a lot of progress, today has been mostly boring to code stuff like a level selector and GUI and few fun things like designing maps.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve setup five test levels, each with vary different parms so I can get a feel for what works and what doesn\u2019t.\u00a0 For instance, bombs with flames spreading fast or slow, being able to build\/destroy walls, diffuse bombs, and so forth.<\/p>\n

I had numbers counting down on bombs and counting up on people (protect them for a higher score) but removed it because it was just visually distracting.\u00a0 Now the bombs have a sequence of fall, blink red, blink fast.\u00a0 Same info, easier on the brain!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sort of burned out now so I\u2019m done for tonight, hope to look it over with a fresh eye tomorrow before uploading the final.<\/p>","time":"December 16th, 2007 7:58 am","title":"Game tuning"}
