The first official day of my game jam week. So far it’s been quite a lot of research. Watched countless YouTube videos and read through several chapters of Advanced Game Design with HTML5 and JavaScript<\/a>. I’ve re-written large sections of my pre-Jam prototype and added a few features like the ability to toggle debug mode (press Q) and I’ve added the beginnings of the level editor. Overall today has been a bit of a mainenence day; and I’m OK with that. I do have a little catching up to do tomorrow if I’m going to stay on plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve found a small issue with the way I’ve loaded the game in to http:\/\/kyleclarke.co.nz\/game<\/a>. Iframes apparently don’t want to take keyboard events from the parent window; So you you can’t move around with arrow keys or toggle debug mode etc. I didn’t want this to distract me today so you can play today’s build here: http:\/\/kyleclarke.co.nz\/game\/v0.1.1<\/a> and I’ll fix the normal way tomorrow when I get a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Press Q to open Debug mode<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m off to do some more “research” (read: play as many strategy games as I can).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
