Well, I tried.
After getting sick just before this weekend, I decided I was still gonna attempt this Ludum Dare, however, on day 2 I stumbled on a bit of math my sickened brain couldn't understand. My idea was to combine Breakout with a racing game, and I wanted the bricks to spawn off the screen. But, the math required to do so at different speeds completely alluded me, and thus I could never get the bricks to spawn consistently the same distance apart.
Oh well, it was a nice try for a first game jam, but I need to get back to bed.
