It was a load of fun, actually! I kind of nailed the process I need to take in order to make something:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Take the whole week pre-LD to experiment with thoughts about what to make.<\/li>\n <li>Then, just when LD starts, scrap all of your ideas. The previous point was just a warm-up.<\/li>\n <li>Do a game and add cool things while developing. DO IT.<\/li>\n <li>At the end of day 2 marvel at the tangled pile of wires that your code is.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>Aaaand what&#8217;s the game? It&#8217;s a simple thing, like an infinite runner, where you have to avoid incoming cars, and collect those of your color. If you collect 3 of the same color in a row- you get a lot of points. You can change your car color via a paint-box on the road.\u00a0<img class=\" wp-image-519650 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/41-300x139.jpg\" alt=\"4\" width=\"458\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/41-300x139.jpg 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/41-550x255.jpg 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/41.jpg 1296w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px\" \/><\/p>\n <p>So where is the actuall gameplay, you&#8217;d ask? It&#8217;s game over if you hit a car of a different color.<\/p>\n <p>And the fun thing is, all the cars you collect are in a &#8220;Car Train&#8221; after you. They got a silght lag after you react. They don&#8217;t instantly steer as you do, they take their time.<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-34\/?action=preview&amp;uid=45482\" target=\"_blank\">I hope you&#8217;ll check it out and inspire me to continue on this one.
