Tried to make a multiplayer matching game, but got hung up pissing with the javascript displaying. It’s a web based game.

Yeah… I hate being sick. It was my excuse for not finishing last time, but hopefully this time will be different! I have my idea and plan of attack and even some code written.

I suck, I know.  I just couldn’t get my brian to function in a coding mode.  Instead, I watched the entire first season of Heroes.  The idea I was going to go with was building a tower out of words, kind of like scrabble, and having it check for balance to help cap your highest score.  Hopefully next time my mind is in a better place.

I decide to break down and learn flash so I bought a book on it 3 days ago and started reading.  Figured this competition would be good motivation and testing ground.  So far I must say I’m impressed with how easy it is to get things done in the language and how easy it is to learn.

For the game itself, I’m working on making a mini-rts style game with a focus on ‘sovereignty’ which gives you large bonuses while on your own turf.  So it turns it into a slowly advancing wall of doom!  Or something like that.  Tomorrow is all about polish.  Better (any) graphics.  Intro screens, help screens, visible win conditions, useful HUD.  Balance on gold in vs gold out and tactical management.

Controls are simple right now.  Spacebar spawns a new warrior (currently a cow) and you can let them wander about or you can click on them and move them into the field of battle.

This was my first time coding in flash and I think it went alright considering.  I could really have used another hour or five to add polish and improve the AI.
