Oblivious: post-mortem;

After deciding that I was going to enter the Ludum Dare #16, despiste the almost completly lack of time I`d have to work on the weekend, I was able to finish my entry, somehow. Of course, it didn`t turned out like I wanted it to be, most because of the lack of time, but also because I hadn`t really a definite set goal until the last hours.

Deciding to go with javascript was a lifesaver. At first I wanted to write my game with Python and PyGame, but I`d end up spending too much time on rendering and UI implementation, and with javascript that was already hard-coded into the browser for me, so all that`d be left was to write the game logic. Of course, javascript has its issues, like you`re not guaranted fully compatibility between browsers (even with the standard ones, something may behave oddly), and that`s what made me cut that M$ IEerie from the list of supported browser before I even started writing a line of code.

More about it after the cut :3 (It’s rather long, but has a concept art to make for it :D) (more…)
