Dear log,

After finishing implementing the game sequence, there are still some boring points to do, like saving and presenting the highest score.

To understand, I have to explain the logic of my framework : a Game is a collection of Gamelets that are independants. For instance, I have a gamelet for t…

Hello,

Last week, I could fully implement the simple game, with some animation for showing the cards at the beginning. This week I implemented the display of the time of play and the number of trials.

And I had to implement again yet another "format time" to convert the total time of play in seconds …

Hello,

This week, it turns out I got plenty of time to write code : sleeping problems (one night) and motivation on the evenings even after my daughter is finally sleeping, around 22:30 (before, it's not possible to do anything, and I just want to enjoy family time anyway).

  • Create the title picture (just a simple text using a fanc…

I have an already completed game, so I will take advantage of this by reusing some parts of it to have a working base. My ad-hoc framework for writing my game without worrying abou…

Hello world =)

So, I decided to write a game and to log my progress here, but I should first introduce myself.

I will start with the "busy life" part : my regular job is NOT game programming (more on that later). I'm a father since last summer, which takes nearly all my free time at home. Obviously I…
