I had a not terrible idea on Saturday morning (well midday!). At 1600 another ludum darer came round; he&#8217;d got a lot further. I couldn&#8217;t focus and nothing worked. At 2000 he had a game you could nearly play: I was no where near.<\/p>\n <p>At 2200 I decided my game idea was terrible and started again. I&#8217;ve not looked back, everything is flowing now and it was nearly playable an hour later (it&#8217;s a really simple stuff appears and you have to click on it typa game). It was a good idea, let&#8217;s see what I have by 0300.<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/12\/16\/207272\/screenshot-from-2012-12-16-112318\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-207296\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-207296 aligncenter\" alt=\"Screenshot from 2012-12-16 11:23:18\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Screenshot-from-2012-12-16-112318.png\" width=\"1000\" height=\"796\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Screenshot-from-2012-12-16-112318-550x437.png 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Screenshot-from-2012-12-16-112318.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","time":"December 16th, 2012 4:24 am","title":"Better to start again than give up!"}
