Hola =]

Looks like I’ve finished with 10 minutes left..a new personal record! This is much nicer than finishing with 2 minutes left. Look at me writing this like I’ve got time ;]

I didn’t manage to have time for sound, which is probably good news, I was going to sing.

So Teenage Mathant Ninja Towers is a tetris clone, with numbers and addition, subtraction will be available in the retail version which hits shelves august 2012 for one million dollars MWAHAHAHA preorder now.

No, really, I could use the cash.

Let’s hope this one works! I included some redistributable files from MSVC2008 in the zip.

Good luck! Looking forward to playing some of your games!

Edit: Drat, well I found a bug, at level 3 there’s minus signs in the tower, however the code for computing minuses isn’t in, so some equations at level 3 and above will not clear. Here’s a link to a zip with no broken minuses, in case you’re really getting into the game and want to play it past level 3, but this version is not to be judged!

Hiya =] well I took two finals today, completing my summer semester. If my calculations hold, I’ll have an A in environmental biology and calculus 1 woot. This is a nice place to relax after a busy summer =]

Hmm I haven’t written code in months, guess I’ll use allegro with ms visual c++ express as before.

Good luck everyone, may the force be with you!

Tower Power!

Well, I haven’t done anything except moo at #ludumdare, and come up with a few ideas:

verse versus verse – noah vs moses using some quotes from: http://www.cracked.com/article_15699_9-most-badass-bible-verses.html as attacks.

triangle man versus particle man – from the good ol ‘particle man’ by ‘they might be giants’. simple fighting game, particle man is indicated by a magnifying glass and just can’t win.

? vs ? – type names for each player and the first google image search result for each name is the sprite used for that player.

I’m imagining these as basic ‘street fighter 2′ type fighting games, with juwhich is among my least favourite genres, so I haven’t been too motivated to code anything. Triangle man would be easy and a bit comical, mehbe.

Well I’m drinking coffee so that’s a start.

Update: oops, thought I posted this yesterday. well it’s sunday morning and no code, so I wouldn’t expect anything from me.

Hiya =] well I didn’t really post anything here for LD10.5 although I was working on something. The theme was kittensweird/unexpected/surprise, and for that I came up with a cat&mouse game where you would play as a kitty stalking mice using line of sight and keeping quiet. There would also be a movable cheese to bait the mouse. I set out to make the game in a side view with 3 axis of movement, which is far too many axii for a .5 compo =/ To save time I was drawing sprites by hand and taking photos of rooms to use as backgrounds, but putting 3 dimensional objects to do line of sight with was a daunting task, it would need a level editor and would be better presented in 3d at that point, too much for one weekend. Oh yeah, and I was fighting off the sickness. pwnd. Here’s as far as I got:

Also, I won’t be doing the LD11. I’m going to be racing my mountain bike on the cross country course at the sea otter classic in monterey, ca. My laptop bike mount is a little heavy for racing joo know?

So just to give a bit of background behind the chemistry of my game, here’s the page I used for research:

http://www.pslc.ws/mactest/radical.htm

Basically, the creation of the material we know as vinyl is done by a chain reaction of monomers into polymers (polymerization) initiated by a free radical initiator.

If you have shockwave then this short video (from the above page) will demonstrate the process effectively:

aka FreeRad

Whew gotta get this in!

3 level rushed release =/ more levels later!

found some free file hosting in the last minute, here’s the file:

(Thanks Jach for offering ftp space)

more to come later, probably my next free day: Wednesday.

Edit: If the game gives an error message like “This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.”, you may need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package, which can be downloaded from:

Hmm the evening continues! Here’s the first screenshot from my LD10 entry:

hmm wonder what it is!

So far, Friday I worked until 5:30, there was a lame xmas picnic for lunch in which I ate mostly starch. Starch and cookie. My Maia picked me up and I had 1 hour to divert my eyes from 7 hours of videogame testing before 48 hours of videogame programming, the simple act of observing a lamp brings tears to my eyes.

I had a pre-dare snack involving a Tofurkey kielbasa, the best Saurkraut in the universe, and etc. As I delved into the reactorium on #ludumdare, mama maia was making me-a stuffed vegetables, mm mm. Proof!

Also my lack of desk brings this intangible workspace:

Find the four leaf clover

The picture is pretty much the whole game, took me the whole 48 hours to find a 4 leaf clover to photograph.
