At first i thought it was a really great idea but i bit off far more than i could chew.<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p><strong><br \/>\n THE GOOD:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>I made a passable 2.5D ray caster from scratch with no libraries.<\/li>\n <li>It was in a playable state by the end(Ill get into that later).<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <ul>\n <li>I HAD FUN <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/simple-smile.png\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/> <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/simple-smile.png\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/> <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/simple-smile.png\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p><strong>THE BAD:<br \/>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>For some reason some people have been saying that it&#8217;s unplayable. I can&#8217;t understand why because i built it on a computer with a 600mhz processor and 2g of ram, so I&#8217;m fairly sure it&#8217;s not a performance problem.<\/li>\n <li>There was only one level, one enemy, and and one objective.<\/li>\n <li>There was no sound or polish.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p><strong>THE UGLY <img src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/frownie.png\" alt=\":(\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><br \/>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>There were two horrid bugs, one that crashed the game and the other that rendered sprites through walls(Can&#8217;t believe i neglected to fix that ).<\/li>\n <li>The frame rate did drop once you got really close to sprites.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p><strong>IN CONCLUSION:<\/strong><\/p>\n <p>I made a video of me playing the game in the uploaded state on my PC to show you what it should look like.<\/p>\n <p>All in all though i had a great LD and i can&#8217;t wait for the next one.
