Rapid Game Development

Got off to a slow start, but things are looking much better now. The game will be done soon, thank God!

Week Two:

Made much better headway than in week one. Ran out of time too soon, didn't even get to writing an update.

Week Three:

Some progress. Then ran into a snag; a difference in the way my Linux and Windows compilers implement things. For the past few years I've been using the Linux compiler exclusively. Decided to do this project on the Windows compiler, in part to familiarize myself with it, that bit is working spectacularly.

Spent over an hour working out that issue. Out of time again.

Game Coding Challenge

It seems evident that I will need more than two weekends to produce a simple platform game. I'll still try to finish it next weekend as planned.

My coding pace, at least so far, isn't fast enough. With more practice perhaps?

Anyway, trying to put together a bare-bones game in a matter of hours is an interesting experience and a good challenge.
