Originally, I had created a game for the Ludum Dare 48 hour compo in processing called Battle Evolution. 2 hours from submission time, there was a strange, unexplanatory error that occurred in the game code. Then I decided to recreate the game in GameMaker Studio and enter it in the jam, but that did not work due to lack of time. I submitted a game I threw together in less than an hour called Mazolution instead.

What went right:

• Game Ideas
• Graphics
• Game Controls/Movement
• Most of the code
• Backup plan: Mazolution
• Gamemaker Studio
• Multiplatform Support (Windows, OSX)

What went wrong:

• Game code in processing that failed
• Lack of time
• Processing’s bad IDE and unexplanatory errors

Play Mazolution here

Processing is a great programming language, it just didn’t work this time.
