The best-laid schemes…

I suppose I might as well jump in with this too, have a stab at it for the first time.

It’ll be interesting to see what I can come up with in the short time, especially since I’ll be in my bed in the UK sleeping when the theme is announced – though I doubt I’ll be entering the Dare competition anyway, just sticking with the Jam.

I’ve even yet to decide which theme I’m rooting for, and which development tools I’ll be using. Still, all the great artists were disorganised messes, right?

There are some of us, though, who are nervous wrecks and have already got most of the thing planned out because we’re excited about the thing. :)

So far, So good.

Given that this is my first Dare, and my first real stab at game creation, this isn’t going too badly!

The grid is randomly generated  with each ? representing an unvisited tile. The size varies every time as will the tile type when I finish deciding all the floor types. I’ve not decided whether I’ll create level sets, or just let the game create an entirely different map everytime.

Still, the Strictly Come Dancing final is on, so I’m taking a break.

BRB.

It’s alive!

This is my basic game, it runs in any browser that supports the <button> element and images (sorry Lynx users)!

Cheat mode is on here, so all the tiles are “discovered” and visible. This way, you can see my beautiful artwork. If I turn cheat mode off, any square that’s not been visited just shows a question mark.

Continuer.
