It\u2019s called Last Minute Christmas Chopping, and you can check it out here:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-28\/?action=preview&amp;uid=398\">http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-28\/?action=preview&amp;uid=398<\/a><\/p>\n<p>After wasting a lot of time yesterday on getting sidetracked with another game idea and not having any idea what to make, it all kinda just fell in place and the game got made pretty quickly after that. I got to learn a few new things (how to use Web Audio, and that Dart does VERY lazy field initialization), and I actually get to go to bed at a reasonable time after a Ludum Dare.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t wait to see what other games have been made this weekend. If you\u2019re still struggling with yours, good luck, and I believe in you!<\/p>","time":"December 15th, 2013 11:10 am","title":"I finished early!?","title_was_empty":false}
