Well, that was a marathon, especially for an old guy like me. I’m frankly amazed how much can get done in 48 hours, particularly during those hours when there are no distractions.<\/p>\n

You can play the game on the web (if you have Java) here:<\/p>\n

The end game is fairly close to what I imagined, although it really could do with a lot of polish and balancing. Given that it’s a typing game, I don’t think it’s going to see a port to a phone any time soon, although it’d probably work on a larger tablet or an iPad.<\/p>\n

Finally, I would like to thank my wife and daughter for putting up with me, because I haven’t been able to give them much attention, other than the occasional, “please play-test my game!” Tomorrow (or is it today?) I have a day off, and if the weather permits, we’re all going to get out of the house and spend some quality family time together.<\/p>","time":"December 19th, 2010 6:04 pm","title":"Eureka!
