Yay, muffins … and other stuff.

I would post a pic of these delicious chocolate muffins, but… They’re mine to see, not yours!

… and the result is… eh, this.

It’s not… perfect. But hey, this is what you get when you try to write a collision engine from scratch… Again.

DrawpBawks playable!

Source, if you want it…

The thing on MediaFire (ewww)
The thing on DrawpBawks (yay)

Okay, two hours. Here’s what I made so far (without any frameworks like flixel, etc!):

• Some gfx – Yeti, Two tiles, Coins
• Collision engine
• Level one

13:43 <Aureal]rec> Well. Two hours have passed.
13:44 <Aureal]rec> Ludumdarian people, can I get 2 more?
13:45 <ratking|cooldown> one
13:45 <ratking|cooldown> one more

So… Warm-up. Yay.

Tools:

• Flash CSWhateverItIsThatIHaveRightNow
• Photoshop Of the same version as above
• AS3.0
• LimeChat (for IRCs)
• Skype (for… DnDs)
• TextEdit
• Terminal (for timelapse)
• … etc

Anyway, I threw a 5-sided die…

11:03 <Aureal> .d 5
11:03 <X3> Aureal: A 2 shows on the 5-sided die.

and got a two. A two-hour warm-up. Theme: The Ice Brokkoli Level. Yes, brokkoli, not the cheap rip-off broccoli. Courtesy of ratking.

Here we go.

Yay! I mean, D’Oh!

So, as you might have guessed by the title, I am not going to finish this Mini LD #24. Why? I don’t know… I just don’t feel like finishing the game I’ve started this time… I guess I picked the wrong themes / rules / stuff.

HOWEVER I’ve learned some Java (not really syntax, but the API functions) and made a simple sprite engine… Hooray.

Oh well. You know what time is it? It’s next time time!

Woot I have learned something in Java…

So, I have some kind of entity – sprite (with animation) engine “working”… Now I’ll be going for key listening (not hard), then some sound playing… And THEN gameplay

Seriously? I just wrote “Badum tsch” in the title? GEDDIT?! (of course not)

So anyway yes I am going to participate in Mini LD number 24 or whatever oh well I think I got it right this time (unusual) and yes my full stop key is broken.

I don’t yet know which theme(s) I am going to pick, but certainly it won’t include love (neither one). The limitations are kinda harder to choose from… I was thinking about the audio and 2 colours thing… Finally – for the rules, I think I am gonna use this one to start with Java (yeah, Eclipse already installed )…

I will start tomorrow, even though it is a Mini LD. Edit: oh whatever I just started beacuase (damn I am good) I’ve got some nice ideas.

Post scriptum: I am happy with Niribu X – even though it was not complete at all when I submitted it, I got some nice feedback (thank you) – so I will finish this sometime when I want a break from my major project.

Okay I am done I hoped I could do more it was fun though now here you are the link to the game:

So I just randomly noticed that many people around here were going for Musagi, if the time is right to compose some music. So I looked it up, and hey – it’s from Dr. Petter, which has also made sfxr! I thought it may be something interesting – downloaded. It was a win application, which is, however, no problem – Wine solves it easily.

But then… It is kinda simple. Not a lot of generators, assets, samples or whatever.

That is why, if I have time to compose music, I will use LS…

…HERE I COME. So original.

Following my success in MLD#22 (yah), I shall be going for LD#19. The time is (as for many) just right – end of the year, no stuff to do…

Also, let’s keep up this random tradition of saying what tools shall who-ever use, shall I?

• CODE – AS3.0 – Flash CS5
• GRAPHICS – Vector – Flash CS5
• GRAPHICS – Bitmap (maybe) – Photoshop CS5
• SOUND – … digital? – sfxr / as3sfxr / MICROPHONE (yeah, I am a beatboxe… oh whatever)
• MUSIC – ambient – Logic Studio 9 (if I will have enough time for that)
• IDEAS – neural – mHEADmod3.599 (meannetSim)
• NOTES – verbal – Text Edit 9.5321.12348g (MOST RECENT)
• COMMUNICATIONS – cut – EVERYWHERE
• COMPUTER – good – iMac
• okay, i will stop

Timelapse is coming, but I wonder if I will continue using that lame Gawker… It crashed trice the last time, so I lost like an hour or more of material… I HAVE iShowU but I can not find any way to make it record time lapsing… Ideas?

Okay, submitted.

Play it HERE if you want.

It includes only 4 levels and no music… I also wanted to add much more. But then again – 48 hours is the limit.

Okay, so now I need just the music and… LOTS of puzzling levels.

Gotta love sfxr and his child, as3sfxr.

Also – the ladders:

This !!! is !!! LADDER!!!!! *kicks*

By the way, there IS gonna be a time lapse, although not a complete one… That annoying software I use to record it crashed trice, so I’ve lost more than an hour (a PRECIOUS hour) of memo… making of … video.

Um… So I guess I am one of the few people here who actually HAVE something fully playable

Anyway – I’ve changed the title from Code Runner (running on code) to Code: Runner (yeah, you’re the runner). Such a big CHANGE isn’t it?

Screenshots + TODO after the BREAK.

(more…)

PreScriptum: I am NOTIFYING the site administrator – “WordPress 3.0.1 is available!”

As you can see, I’ve decided to enter MiniLD #22 – revisiting an old idea. What is that old idea? I’ve chosen (you Pikachu!) my previous AND unsuccessful entry, to MiniLD #15 – Old game CLONE. It’s the Code Runner.

Something actually surprised me – my old notes with ideas and concept were easy to find thanks to my superior organization skills (yah, sure). It makes the whole thing easier to do, and I know what did I plan to do with these pictures. I present an excerpt of these notes to you: (after the advertisement break)

(more…)

Why hello there! … wait…

So, I decided to take a chance in LD#19. I did one of the previous ones (LD#a-number-to-me-currently-unknown – theme: remake), but kinda failed. I wanted to make a Lode Runner remake, kinda newish tilish and stylish, but for some reason … I got bored by making a remake of it . Anyway – I hope this time the theme will be something very interesting.

It should be a good side project from my every day (and night) project… Because making an mmo is hard (MOAR INFO AT MAH DEV_BLOG)

Yah… What can I write here…

Also – I might be doing some exrepiments here, so ingore them.
