Okay this was meant to be a Wizardy style dungeon crawl into the depths of a dinosaur kingdom....
Kinda a fail on my part but I got something together in the end.
So what went wrong...
Day 1:
Spent 80% on it making a random cavern generator which made fully connected natural caverns. Other 20% on basic tech.
Day 2:
* Wasted 4 hours pixeling (should have gone basic)
* Wasted about 5 hours on Marching Squares smoothing algorithm
* Wasted another 5 hours trying to get shadow projection working.
* Wasted more time on inane SDL glitches
-------
Total time spent on actual game code: 3hrs tops.
Ah well lesson learned :P
