\"stereotunnel<\/a><\/p>\n

Hello fellow ludum-dare-ers!\nSo I split my october in half, wanting to maximize on my chances of crossing the finish line with *something* that makes $1.<\/p>\n

First half I cleaned up and fixed a hack I\u2019ve made a few years back. It\u2019s not exactly a game, but it\u2019s got 3D graphics so close enough for me; it\u2019s a stereoscopic 3D tunnel effect. Made a cool menu GUI for it, fixed a couple of stupid bugs, and uploaded to the iOS app-store as free with ads, which was a very enlightening experience.\nTurns out, I was done with the code first week of october, but only managed to get it approved, with ads running, 2 days ago! So lesson learned: if I want to release something on the appstore, and have it up at a specific point in time, do it a month early \":)\"<\/p>\n

I also decided to release the code under the GNU GPLv3, because what I\u2019ve ended up with, is a very nice example (I think) of a simple UNIX make-based build system for building cross-platform mobile apps. This code currently builds on PC (linux\/mac at least, I think also windows but haven\u2019t tested), iOS and Android. iOS has it\u2019s own xcode project (included), but everything else builds from my makefile.<\/p>\n

Github source code<\/a>\niOS appstore page<\/a> (or search for \u201cstereoscopic tunnel\u201d on the store on an iOS device).<\/p>\n

Please check it out if you have an iOS device (it\u2019s free with ads), because right now I\u2019ve just made 40 cents off the ads, and I want to hit the full glorious dollar by the end of october to feel like I\u2019ve accomplished the October challenge \":)\"<\/p>\n

The second half of october I was making an actual game. It\u2019s obviously not done, but I\u2019ll extend my own personal october challenge to november, because I really want to release this before the holidays, as it\u2019s an xmas-themed game. I\u2019ll edit this post with extra info if I ever manage to finish, release it and make money out of that one. For now I\u2019ll leave you with a development screenshot:<\/p>\n
