So, last year I tried the challenge and I guess I won, sort of, but sort of not, because I never really finished the game.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m doing another attempt at the game except going overhead instead of isometric and using the aesthetic of an old LD game I made \u201cEscape from Anathema Mines\u201d instead of the one I was doing ..<\/p>\n

Anyway, here\u2019s a screenshot. I\u2019m doing brute-force ray casting here and it works great. It\u2019s really nice to be targeting the desktop using C, so I can do stuff like that. (The older LD version was in python so I had to code it smart, and if I were targeting mobile I\u2019d have to be more optimized.) Anyway, my goal is to have this game selling on the Mac App Store before the end of the month for a few bucks.<\/p>\n

P.S. I coded up some crazy tile generator to get all the wall contours \":)\" Yay for python!<\/p>","time":"October 13th, 2011 4:19 pm","title":"October Challenge, take 2","title_was_empty":false}
