After seeing the theme and thinking about an idea for about an hour, I decided on an idea and began to code my game. It was not until a few lines in when I learned that I had no idea how I would make this idea\u00a0come\u00a0to life. I’ve only been game developing in java for about a week or so, thus i’m still very new and can’t develop a game yet without using a tutorial or some sort of\u00a0reference. But I’m not giving up,\u00a0I’m\u00a0re-writing the code for an asteroids game I made a few days ago to give it a twist that fits the theme. I don’t know if this is allowed for the competition because its recycling code, however I probably won’t be submitting it anyways because I really have no idea how to put an applet online. But, doing anything is better than sitting around and waiting for the next Ludum Dare. I might also make a Game Maker game for the jam if i’m not satisfied with my asteroids game. Good luck everyone and I hope to have a more\u00a0successful\u00a0experience next time.<\/p>","time":"December 15th, 2012 4:32 pm","title":"Progress So Far"}
