#30daydeveloper - Day 26 - Tutorials and Love

Hello! If this is your first time reading about my thirty day developer challenge, click here to go to the first post!
With only four days remaining, I realized I should probably start writing a bit more. This challenge wasn't just done to create a cool game (in fact I had low expectations of being able to complete a game) but more to figure out about myself and my work habits. The full write-up will be delivered at the end of the thirty days, but as you can see from my blog and my almost complete game, things are going pretty well.
I love this message.
On with the changelog!
  • Quit corner now works, prompting users for confirmation before navigating away to my personal webpage
  • Tutorial corner now works
    • Six levels in the tutorial outlining the basic concepts of the game
    • Repeatable but you can close out by pressing R at any time
  • Added message for restarting the game
  • Fixed a bug with creating enemy balls that wouldn't allow me to properly create multiple balls at the same time

On a side note, I still need to polish up the game for mobile--that might be the final mountain to climb in my challenge.

Jooble

Yesterday, I received an incredibly friendly email from an anonymous person who claimed to have read my blog and "loved it." Of course, because my blog is public and anybody can comment anonymously, I was a bit skeptical of this email. Yet, seeing as how this was the first ever "fan mail" I've ever received, I read the email. It wasn't fan mail, but it was an email from a person who works for a website called " Jooble ." Interested by his genuineness and heartfelt compliments of my blog, I took a quick glance at the website. Here's what he had to say about Jooble: Jooble operates in 45+ countries, so if you would like to find a job in other locations you may try to search jobs in: Argentina , Australia , Austria , Belgium , Belarus , Brazil , Canada , Chile , China Colombia , Czech Republic , Denmark , Spain , Finland , France , Germany , Greece , Hong Kong , Hungary , Italy , India , Indonesia , Ireland , Japan , Kazakhstan , Mexi...

Making a Board Game

Wanted to update my blog with what I've been up to recently. I made a board game and have been working on that full time for the past 3 or so months. The name is still WIP but it's tentatively set as "Our Modern Lives." It's a tile/card based map-building game. The goal is to achieve "Success" and "Happiness" before anyone else can by building your own route. Here are a few pictures of the current build (v1.20 Beta): On a side note, follow me on Instagram for more (semi-frequent) updates!

#30daydeveloper - Day 1 - War of Shapes

Today marks the first day of a new experiment I am doing. Dubbed the "30 Day Developer" challenge. I am taking the next thirty days to try to fulfill my two new years resolutions . For the next thirty days, I will create a working prototype of an idea I had for a mobile game. Furthermore, I promise that I will... develop for at least an hour each day. blog about the day's events and any related events / thoughts. not give up! Mock up of "War of Shapes" (name pending finalization) The game is very simple (as I believe mobile games should be). Several colored balls drop from a chute onto the middle of the screen. The player then used his/her finger to swipe the colored ball into the matching colored corner. The game is meant to be played at an incredibly fast pace (think Super Hexagon ). I also envisioned techno-trance music roaring in the background as the user madly swipes at his/her phone. The game will be developed using the languages I am fam...
