LÖVE

When you're suffering from insomnia, sometimes you need to kill time before you can go to sleep. Time was killed. Sleep was not had.

I present to you, in collaboration with shakesoda:

HYPER SPINNING DISCO ALIENS

In all seriousness, this was a quick demo to show off a little bit of the usability of my library, Simple Tiled Implementation. While the demo is beyond amusing, it didn't take very long to get everything set up and running smoothly. Feel free to check out the code (I'm so, so, so sorry) and try to figure it all out!

I must remind you, sleep deprivation is a hell of a drug. I almost lost my way.

...Almost?

When I couldn't sleep last night I coded an Alchemy system for my RPG project.

Nice! Since we didn't really have a project in mind and were just fooling around, we weren't exactly looking for any real results. How does your alchemy system work?

Take one item. Take another item. Take maybe a third item. Check both or all three against a table of recipes. If one exists, delete the two or three items from the party's inventory and add the new item to it.

Basically exactly how it works in Dragon Quest VIII. Which is what I'm modeling my UI and internal workings after. (The PS2 version)

Ooh, very nice! Sounds simple and intuitive. Any ETA on when your rpg is going to be available?

I usually get a crap ton of ideas after I shut down my computer and try to sleep.

You and me both. I often have to type my ideas up on my phone while laying in bed. Luckily, I have prescription sleeping pills so they usually force me to sleep so I don't lay in bed dwelling on things for too long.

Nice! When's the Kickstarter?
