<\/a> Well, today was a huge bust.\u00a0 I worked a little in the morning as my previous entry detailed, then it was off to a very distant lunch (about a 1.5 hour drive).\u00a0 All told that chewed up 6 hours, after which I was home with a big headache and very tired, so another 2 hours spent napping.\u00a0 Which of course made me feel worse, so popped some tylenol, ate some cake, and gradually recovered not doing much for a couple more hours.<\/p>\nAt long last, I did some work for about 2 hours maybe, and now the game is basically what it needs to be, minus most of the content!\u00a0 You begin with no abilities, and you can pick up the jump ability as advertised and use it.\u00a0 The screenshot shows the second power, Shoot.\u00a0 That\u2019s not actually implemented at all.\u00a0 Also, the enemies are harmless (but the evil OUCH zone is quite lethal!).\u00a0 There\u2019s no money to collect and spend on these powers like I wanted, but I think I\u2019ll skip that, so I can just spend tomorrow making the actual game content.\u00a0 Should be fun and easy!<\/p>\n
Flixel seems quite limited in what sort of game it will manage, but it makes that particular type of game real easy.\u00a0 If you wanted to make anything but a side scroller, I think you\u2019d have to fight it so much that you\u2019d be better off just making your own code from scratch.<\/p>","time":"December 12th, 2009 10:00 pm","title":"Saturday Night, I Guess That Makes It All Right","title_was_empty":false}
