The test-driven approach

Bet I’m the only one here who writes his test first. But it really pays off. As the game features an inventory and recipes like in minecraft you need to make sure everything runs orderly. On the other hand, after four hours of development I don’t have any screenshot but the results of my spec suite (jasmine if you care). But an hour or two and I’ll have a nice UI on top of the game.

I do TDD in my normal development, but I don’t think I’m experienced enough to use it for LD. I’ve attempted it before and didn’t get too far since it almost forces you to write “correct” code, and in 48 hours, that means a lot more well-thought-out code.
And sometimes there isn’t time for thinking. B-)
Of course, I use C++. If I used a higher level language, perhaps TDD in 48 hours would be a lot easier?
