PyOpenGL and py2exe?
I think I'll try a PyOpenGL entry this time, if the theme permits (possibly using OpenGLContext, though I've not used it before). Given that my 2d drawing skillz suck,…
GHOSTS Devlogs
Well, that's "darkness" done...
Well, that's "darkness" done...
Having a lot of trouble
.. trying to think of a decent game for the theme. Got an idea almost straight away, but it's not very good and I can't get it out of my head. I guess I'll just keep…
Making progress anyway
This screenshot shows the tiled map with lighting (the yellow boxes are light sources).
And now we have a player...
Yes, this entry really is about as predictable and non-innovative as you can get :(
My idea
OK, so I've got this idea for a game, and it's probably lame, but here goes...
More progress
Now I've got ghosts (when they're not lit, you can just see their eyes ;) and you can repair damaged lights. The "Repairing..." window obscures the view of the player…
Ghosts now zap lights and roam around
I've got the basic Ghost AI going now - they avoid being in light, and hunt and destroy lights. The sequence below illustrates:
Well, its a "game" now
I've officially written a complete game now (you compete against the computer, and it detects whether you win or lose). So far the out-of-game interaction is just:
Much better rendering
I changed my rendering this morning to use a more optimised rendering algorithm (aka don't draw the whole screen each frame) and my frame rate jumped from 13 to around…
New version uploaded
Well, I got the per-pixel movement code working. Collision of player with tiles is quite dodgy and needs rewriting. Ghosts don't collide with anything yet, which is no good.
For the first time, I have sound fx!
My game has sound fx! This is a first in three LD48 comps for me :)
Menu screen added, some levels too
Most of the game is done - I can spend tomorrow polishing and handling questions from people trying to submit their final entry ;)
My final submission (barring bugfixes ;)
My final source submission: ld48-6-final.tgz. Requires PyGame to run. Will be looking at py2exe'ing it now.
Final submission of GHOSTS is in
My final submission is in. The files:
