Ludum Dare Update 3
Final update for today, then off to bed. I now have some enemies on screen, radial collision detection, and projectiles. It’s almost a game!

Overall, I am happy with my progress and expect to have a fully playable game by tomorrow...

Ludum Dare?
I’m strongly considering participating in Ludum Dare this weekend. I just got basic audio working in my engine, and working on drawing sprites. It’ll be rough using a new untested engine for the competition, but even if I don’t succeed, it will move me closer to my eventual goals.

Just Moved In
So after years of running my own blog software in php, then Wordpress, then Django, I decided to make better use of my time and let tumblr manage my ramblings. So… here I am!
