I was really hoping for a simple theme, cause today at like 2 I was asked to work in the morning … UGH!!!

I dont hate the “you only get one” theme, though it did take some thinking. Since I loose out on at least 4 hours tonight, 7 hours on saturday I needed to keep it simple. What I decided on was a top down racer (think spy hunter style, without the spy aspect) and to keep it simple doing it in a text mode. Theme connection being “you only get one chance to save your career/girl/world, whatever by beating this mad dash to the end”

While I am in a text mode, hell might as well do it on a vintage PC, 386? nah talking about my Apple IIc, 1Mhz 8 bit monster. Though I am very hopeful to make it into the compo, at worst case I can knock this out for the jam.

I dont actually develop on the Apple II, frankly its a bit tedious, especially in time sensitive things (but really when was the last time that completing an apple II program was time sensitive)  So my tools are Notepad ++ and Applewin Apple II emulator. I do constantly check things on the real metal so my third development tool is a pretty nice 1984 Apple IIc.

LD on SON!
