It was covered &#8212; I&#8217;d gone to the store yesterday and bought way more food than I could possibly eat in a weekend, all of it quick to prepare and full of game-inducing nutriment. And then my flatmates go and make lasagna. I mean, seriously? I have sandwiches to eat, folks. You&#8217;d think they&#8217;d keep that in mind.<\/p>\n <p>Ahem.<\/p>\n <p>Anyway, all is good &#8212; dinner was fantastic, and I solved a niggly little Python bug I was having. Word of caution: when switching back and forth between Ruby and Python, try to keep your head on straight as to which one you&#8217;re using. And what constitutes an error in which. My problem came down to my calling a method (in Python) that didn&#8217;t exist; in Ruby this is throws an error, but in Python it&#8217;s hunky-dory. Apparently. Gargh. I mean, I like the &#8216;not-an-error&#8217; approach, but it really bit me this time.<\/p>\n <p>So. About that update:<\/p>\n <div id=\"attachment_8370\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-8370\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/4-550x412.jpg\" alt=\"+17 hours.\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/4-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/4-550x412.jpg 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/4.jpg 794w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">+17 hours.<\/p><\/div>\n <p>You (the dude with the shovel) can dig out a fallout shelter, then dash above ground and bring back food and supplies to tide you over through nuclear winter. Graphics are terrible, which is really embarassing &#8212; but I don&#8217;t really know what I can do about that. Next up, audio, scoring, and some better pacing &#8212; the intensity doesn&#8217;t ramp up at all right now. Sadness.<\/p>","time":"August 29th, 2009 1:04 pm","title":"Dinner and an Update"}
