Some alpha channel problem?\r\rBesides that, the game was working fine.\r\rAs far as the gameplay is concerned, as others noted, you can push all the rec.. rocks to the right of the screen and then it becomes not so interesting :). Maybe you could implement waves of rocks\/enemies, and the player would have to grab a rock to throw it on a bunch of other rocks in order to clear the path, or something."},{"author_name":"Osgeld","author_uid":"828","time":"Sep 2, 2010 @ 9:27pm","epoch":1283462520,"text":"could be an alpha issue with your video card \/ drivers, I tested it on my nvidia cards in windows and linux, a crappy old ati 9200, and a intel GMA 950 or something and even once on my work pc with a very old ATI after the fact (rage 128 would be giving this thing credit) so I dunno\r\ryes the original plan was to have enemies, and other interesting things including boss ships see my journal for the full sprite sheet, but 48 hours kicked in, along with box2d BS\r\rhonestly I would have been better off with my original choice of processing ... it does not have a physics engine, but i would say 70% of the advantages of using love2d ended up being nullified by broken behavior and I would have been better off with some basic box\/if then collisions\r\ryes I am blaming my tools, but really I have not been happy with the newer versions of love, it does manage to make you haggle more just to get it functioning, like watching rocks get stuck on eachother due to friction when there should be no friction, kludging the graphics with a physics so you watch your bounding boxes rotate and disorient, while watching your sprites (which are using the same stupid xy data)\r\rI am just tired of fighting a 50\/50 system"}],"images":["ld18\/828-a39be3de3ef5f5f02e8ba60251f940c0.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.cheesefactory.us\/filecenter\/Osgeld-LD18.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.cheesefactory.us\/filecenter\/Osgeld-LD18.love","text":"Linux"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.cheesefactory.us\/filecenter\/Osgeld-LD18src.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"33587","g_author":"828","g_event":"LD18","g_eventkey":"4","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"33617","g_title":"Your Doomed ","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"143","g_commentcount":"7","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/22150\/828-shot0.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Basically you have just warped into a field of asteroids, you cant win, but your going to try your best to stay alive!
