Hot 🔥 28C in Wales, I'm in a fucking conversavatory. Thankfully my daughter didn't sleep much on me so at least I didn't have a human water bottle. Spent all day frustrated by Geminini in work (Turns out I was just fucking hot and bothered so was providing shit prompts), just to be frustrated afterwards. But I digress, Got some shit done yo!
🛠 What I Did
- Resolved all known bugs!
- Created a menu panel
- Created a game over panel
- Both with SFX and decent art from Kenny not 100% on it fitting the theme of the game, but free high quality assets aren't going to build themselves.
- Found some other SFX
- Added SFX to key events in the game
- Came up with initial first draft game name.
🤔 Thoughts & Challenges
- Menu's. Geminini led me down the garden path really damn far. I don't know where I am ffs. You're supposed to guide
- HEAT
🔮 What’s Next
- I came close to getting started on this. This is a carry over, I even wrote it into the "What I did: part way through the night". Full overhaul of scoring and general idea around using NLP/LLM's to generate stuff. Classic mode will be classic! Get letters on your snake, make words, have less letters on you body and instead a word tile. Rinse repeat. Do you bank loads of letters and risk dying in snake mode for hte glory of a big scoring word. Do you shoot for an ideal of a 5 letter word and once you've got the letters bank it. Pray that you can re-arrange letters in your head while navigating a fast snake? who knows. As you can tell I'm pretty fucking excited about the mechanics of this game. Despite it's simplicity I think it's got something special
- General game ui, while your playing.
- Basic Stats. It's a way out but think about it early and it won't bite you in the shitter.
