I just made a cylindrical gradient in Photoshop for the texture, and then threw that on a stretched quad (2 triangles). I rendered it using additive alpha-blending to make it look bright and nice. To make it pulsate I just rendered the quad twice; first using extra scaling on the x-axis, and then once more using no added scaling.

As the title suggest, i’m gonna give up this battle. I was not really prepared for a real ludumdare-weekend, so getting started took longer than it should have and I didn’t manage to maintain a steady progress.<\/p>\n

Anyways, here’s a short video of what I produced. It’s not much, and certainly isnt a game, but it did make me realize that I need to prepare more for the next big one. And I learned how to make lasers, and sounds to match! (yay sfxr)<\/p>\n
