game here<\/a>). We were originally planning on using LibGDX, but a few events on the Friday of the jam made us have to resort to Java2D.<\/p>\n Things that went well:<\/u>
\n -The game is functional and was made entirely within the time frame (including most of the engine).
\n -The only theme we didn’t think about beforehand ended up winning, but I think we came up with a good idea on the fly.
\n -The art went a lot better than I expected. The team consisted of only computer scientists.
\n -The mechanics are pretty solid.
\n -The body of the serpent has pretty good movement considering we had never coded something like it before.
\n -Recreational biting.
\n -Cory.<\/p>\n
Things\u00a0I wish I could have improved:<\/u>
\n -There is no way to pause the game.
\n -The game immediately hops to the main menu when you die. There is not game over notification.
\n -The game does not have a ton of replay ability and becomes somewhat tedious in later rounds.
\n -There are slight bugs with the head of the serpent when he is at the top of the water.
\n -There is no music and the sound effects aren’t the best.<\/p>\n
Ah well. Cheers to the next competition in\u00a0December.<\/p>","time":"August 27th, 2015 8:14 pm","title":"Post Moderm"}
