Time for the first report. Time is in Waktu Indonesia Barat, GMT +7.<\/p>\n

After the theme “Beneath the Surface” was announced at 08:00, I brainstormed the theme over a breakfast. I decided to do yet another platformer, with two characters, one is on the surface and another one is ‘beneath the surface’.<\/p>\n

I started writing the first code at 09:00 using my basecode (https:\/\/github.com\/tkesgar\/ld29), and am currently writing a code to integrate Box2D, box2dlights, Tiled, and Artemis into one simple framework for me to make games. I wish I wrote a better basecode and I wish I use Unity, but I don’t have time to learn Unity now and I’ll have to make it with what I know on LibGDX.<\/p>\n

Anyway, one and a half hour later, I managed to create Box2D, Tiled, and LibGDX to ‘work together’. Quite a lot of boilerplate code, but I can easily create my level on Tiled and with running a script, voila, a working level. With such 48 hour constraint, we all need to have\u00a0a comfortable devcycle. No progress on the art and sound, yet, but let’s leave it for next day’s work.<\/p>\n

\"Capture2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sorry for not streaming because I don’t have a good Internet connection, and I forgot to do timelapsing. Perhaps I will timelapse-ing this afternoon.<\/p>\n

Target for today: most game logic and engine are working, and I only have to polish and add levels tomorrow. Still 14 hours left on today (here), and I’ll go doing business at\u00a0my campus first. Will continue after lunch.<\/p>","time":"April 25th, 2014 8:44 pm","title":"Report #1 \u2013 Slow but Sure"}
