Browsing through all the blog posts on Ludum Dare makes me realize just how slow I am at creating anything useful. Sure, I haven’t picked the easiest path with creating a game from scratch (except my SmallGameFramework<\/a>) in C++. At the same time it can be motivational to see what other people have already done.<\/p>\n

I’ve been streaming on Twitch<\/a> and Livecoding.tv<\/a> for the past 6h and all I can show right now is a moving sprite and even with that, the movement isn’t really where I want it to be. Additionally I think the movement code needs to be changed again, because when I have a collision system in place, I’ll have to be able to influence the movement, but maybe there’s another way around it.<\/p>\n

My current idea is to have some sort of a puzzle game – not very original\u00a0– where you have to solve some puzzles to leave the room. Currently I have no idea how I’ll get the art done, but I know some people that might be able to help out. But first I need to actually get some sort of game running, otherwise there’s no point in creating art for it.<\/p>\n

One thing on my ToDo list for the next few hours is to also quickly go out and grab some supplies, with tomorrow being Sunday and only a few stores are open.<\/p>\n

Let’s go into the next round of productivity! \":)\"<\/p>\n \n
