Well, its coming up on 4am and I have almost nothing to show for this LD. I spent far too much competition time on other things (soccer games, movies, drinking) and the time I DID spend so far I’ve wasted messing around with blender and ogre, tools I have almost zero familiarity with. I really wanted to make a 3D cave shmup, but it is simply outside my abilities to finish within the small amount of time left. I struggled for hours trying to get all sorts of other tools to work to get my cave from blender into ogre in a useful way, but ended up with nothing feasible.

I guess this just isn’t my LD. I neglected to start a time lapse, I’ve taken no food photos, and at this point there is about 15 hours to go and I have zero, count em, zero lines of code. Here is everything I have so far – a simple render of my cave system from the top down. It’s fairly dark (on purpose), so the image isn’t worth much by itself.

Not too bad, but not great either — still, I learned some things and had fun playing with nurbs, so even if I drop out it isn’t a total loss.
