Ludum Dare 28: "You Only Get One"

[kpars]

While I said learning utilities is bad in competitions like this, maybe you could try EasyOGG?
I'd rather you PM me instead of filling up the thread with stack traces

[opiop65]

Yeah, I shouldn't have posted that. Woops. I'll try EasyOGG, sorry for all the crap

[mirkos]

Too bad I won't be entering due to school. Such problems. Wow!

My favorite bug so far! The player and zombies leave behind a trail of blood and guts, which kinda looks cool

[opiop65]

I like yours, I feel like its a chain reaction game to try to trade for the most potatoes you can get!

No, it's not.

Remember: You only get one.

There is only one real potato.

Well, it seems you know your game better than I do! Congrats

Sounds cool though, how do you figure out what potato is real?

Edit:
Sound works now! I converted my wav files over to ogg and it works beautifully Almost done (sort of!).

The amount of Potatoe suggestions during DV's Stream was reidculous. Suprised someone used a game formed around "One Potatoe"

[HeroesGraveDev]

This has gotten pretty crazy.

Just wait until I implement the ability to pelt enemies with potatoes until they die.

[opiop65]

I really love the character texture, he's so dopey. Exactly the type of person you would expect to be chasing after potatoes!

[Slyth2727]

Good luck guys!
Wish I could join  
Next time.
I really like all the stuff I'm seeing here! Once again, good luck

[saucymeatman]

My favorite bug so far is when all the enemys ran away from my main character for no good reason! Hahahaha.

I've had no favorite bugs, all of the bugs I've had were obvious ones that could've been solved in seconds but instead have taken hours

My collision detection is really being eaten alive by a bug that I can't pinpoint. Luckily collision isn't absolutely necessary, but it does feel and look weird to be able to walk on stone tiles!

[opiop65]

So, I'm taking a little break from the development side of things, and I started thinking about packaging everything up. Should I even worry about applets? It seems like it would be a nice way to play a game, but with all the security stuff... plus it looks like a pain to get everything set up. Opinions?

[HeroesGraveDev]

I just took a look at my code, and I realised: When you keep seeing 'potato' in your code, you know you're doing something silly.

Here's a little bit I cut out.

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17   18   19   20

// SNIP                if(fakepotatoes >= 60 && timer-- <= 0)                {                   PotatOne.main.setNextScreen(tw1);                   PotatOne.main.setNextScreen(tw2);                   PotatOne.main.setNextScreen(tw3);                   np3.start();                   PotatOne.main.setNextScreen(np3);                   stage = END;                }             }             break;       }    }        public void dropPotato()    {       if(potatree)          PotatOne.main.em.add(new Potato(16 + RandomUtils.rInt(5), 19 + RandomUtils.rInt(3)));    }

Don't even ask what some of the variables are supposed to mean. It's getting really ugly now.

[saucymeatman]

Ive been programming for 15 hours now!!! new record wooooo!!! Only 3 bathroom breaks and one forced hour break to get a cristmass tree.

This is hardcore!

[kpars]

Is it sad that I just got entity collision done?

I think I might end up entering the jam if it becomes too late.

Also, on another note, if you get cranky when you have a lack of sleep, force yourself to go to bed, don't stay up any longer unless it's urgent.
I had two people block me on Skype the other night. 

[lcass]

I work better sleep deprived, I work faster and think of better solutions 

[kpars]

Got more entity work done, and added a better HUD!

[opiop65]

Is it sad I've resorted to the Rectangle.intersects function for my collision detection? I think it is.

[opiop65]

Well, scrapping collision detection. It's not working out.

[saucymeatman]

Well its done! And I love it.
I envy you all who get the full 48 hours!

Ill post a video when i get the chance.

[HeroesGraveDev]

Morning of Day 3. (I still only get 2 days, just those two days are spread over three)

I've got a bit of work to do, but I may even have enough time left over to add music.

Keep Working!

[opiop65]

I'm pretty much done Polishing up the menus and adding a simple end game scenario, and then my first Ludum Dare is completed!

Anyone have screenshots to share?

[HeroesGraveDev]

POTATO FIGHT!!!!
