I was going to skip this mini-LD, I really was. But I ran into an impossible bug<\/a> on my current project sooo…<\/p>\n

I’m going to build some type of multiplayer industrial simulation. From scratch except:<\/p>\n

– I’ll use the playerio<\/a> multiplayer API<\/p>\n

Basically I’m hoping that by being forced to quickly do a message handler from scratch, I’ll either not cause my bug (in which case I can compare the MLD game code to my main project code and fix it) or I’ll manifest the bug with more understandable symptoms because the message handler will be simpler (and then be able to compare to the project code and fix it).<\/p>\n

(If the consensus is that this in unallowable middleware, I won’t enter the game for voting. It meets the criteria of LD16 for inclusion though (free, no NDA, I’m allowed to release my source, etc))<\/p>\n

Regardless, watch this space for news on the development of Power Plant Operator vs Ninja! (Actually, I probably won’t do very many blog updates this time, since there’s quite a bit of work to do…)<\/p>\n

My start time is 7:00PM Fri, AKDT (UTC -8). Current time is 9PM… Current status… the design document is done ‘enough’. \":)\"<\/p>","time":"June 11th, 2010 10:05 pm","title":"I\u2019m in \u2026 I need to bughunt anyways"}
