I took a really long break, which I’m now regretting, to watch battlestar galactica and make fajitas for dinner. I also broke out the coca cola for the first time, finishing almost half of a 2 liter of the wonderful, caffeinated beverage. I’m now back at the helm, ready to make a solid push before a quick nap and the final stretch.

Shooting!

It doesn’t do anything at the moment, but you can shoot, so hooray!

I tried to install Pygame 1.8 because I wanted to use the new Surface.get_bounding_rect method, and the proverbial shit hit the fan. It hung, then panicked, then ended up nuking my original pygame install as well, so I uninstalled, restarted, and went downstairs to get some lunch. Behold! The fruits of my labor:

That’s a roast beef, salami, cheese, and lettuce sandwich on french bread, with a banana and some gatorade. Mmmmmmmmm.

Also, a water jug update. For reference, this was at 31 hours 47 minutes remaining.

Player movement is in! You can accelerate around and it correctly limits your speed to a manageable number. If you go near the edge, the screen starts to move instead of you. I really like how it turned out. This coupled with the screen scrolling from last night gives a really good feel for the infinite level I was going for. ‘Zah!

I want to make a movie of it, but fraps apparently won’t record pygame windows that aren’t using opengl.

Well, I got about 6 hours of sleep and feel pretty good. I decided to start the morning out right with some french toast and orange juice. Also, yes I put peanut butter on my french toast. No I am not crazy. Why yes, it is quite awesome, thank you for asking.

You may notice the attempted ‘LD’ done in powdered sugar. The L turned out pretty well, but the D is second rate at best.

Well, even though I ate dinner very recently, I’m already eating again. Here we have frosted mini-wheats, a piece of french bread, and a banana. The notebook is covered in brainstorms about the theme.

Also, I bought this water jug today for the compo – I’ve already knocked out a few glasses, and I will try to take pictures as it progresses down. It is 2.5 gallons – I wonder how far I will get on it in 48 hours.

Well, I’m here and ready to go. 48 hours seems like a VERY small amount of time, especially since coming off of pyweek earlier this month. This will be my first LD, and I’m quite excited.

I was looking over the food journals from last year, and all you people that have waffles and muffins and whatnot made for you by signifant others are jerks. My girlfriend won’t have anything to do with that kind of thing. If I don’t go shopping in the next two days it’s going to be a frosted mini-wheats filled journal for me…

Well, I should be on the list now that I have a post.  Good luck everyone!
