It was my first time, both on Ludum Dare and completing a game &#8211; I&#8217;ve started a lot of things that never became something.<\/p>\n <p>Check out my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-18\/?action=preview&amp;uid=2462\" target=\"_blank\">entry<\/a>!<\/p>\n <p>I also did a timelapse I&#8217;ve just uploaded. It&#8217;s the whole thing, no cuts, except some missing time at the beggining and sleep time. Check it out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cOst88h24cM\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>!<\/p>\n <p><img class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/thumb\/0e52f80432c78ad48fc193aedda5ec85.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n <p>The game is pretty simple, just some Collection&#8217;s, some loops, and some checks. Collision detection is distance-based, everything follows some regular patterns: positions, speeds, rotations and speed rotations. Even being a really bad code (just check it out), it was simple enough to add things!<\/p>\n <p>I think I actually can strip out some code of the game and, with some polishing, make a really simple game framework for the next LD!<\/p>\n <p>As I said, this was my first LD, and it has been fun! I learnt some things, I&#8217;ve gained self-confidence, and I&#8217;ve just realized I can actually make a game, even without much time, which is great!<\/p>\n <p>Let&#8217;s see if my game is good for you guys too!<\/p>","time":"August 22nd, 2010 5:42 pm","title":"Space Garbage Recycling!"}
