I had some strange problem with running in debug mode.  Oh well, I am excited to be using PTK instead.  It was also on my list of engines to try.  So far I like it.  Actually, Wow, it is an appropriate engine for this theme because it takes a very minimalist approach to everything.<\/p>\n <p>I\u2019ve decided to do a minimalist turn-based strategy game.  I\u2019ve been contemplating what the bare necessities are required.  The idea is still fluid, but I have put together my framework and implemented the \u2018Next Turn\u2019 button.  That seems a necessary element for a turn-based game don\u2019t you think.<\/p>\n <p>Here\u2019s a screen shot:<\/p>\n <p><img src=\"http:\/\/mrphilgames.cachefly.net\/Ludum-Dare-11\/Min-ScreenShot-04-19-2008-A.png\" alt=\"First screen shot of my minimalist turn-based game.\" align=\"middle\" height=\"317\" width=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n <p>The logo is actually a test of my codes ability to put a sprite up, it won\u2019t be a part of the game \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n <p>And you can even <a href=\"http:\/\/mrphilgames.cachefly.net\/Ludum-Dare-11\/Min-04-19-2008-A.zip\" title=\"Download my game, such as it is\">download my executable here<\/a> to try clicking the \u2018Next Turn\u2019 button!
