Oh.. Workshop... :

Yesterday I got the ball-thwacking physics working to within a half decent standard.

Not an awful lot got done on the game, yesterday.

This is approximately the game I'll be making this week. Tonight's been a nice productive night of getting the basic generator up and running...

Oh dear, that hasn't gone down very well, has it?! Hmm.. First up came the issue with the Level Generator. Things seemed to break fairly late in the project, meaning that different systems were generating different sets of levels. For this reason, the online scoreboards were removed, as they'd be impossible to properly compare between all the different level sets. Doing test after test after test, right up until the last minute, led me to accidentally upload a broken version of the game. .. And no...

Last night's final set of uploads was done about 11pm, in an attempt to fix up a few "quirks" which had arisen during my battles with the level generator.

If you've downloaded RetroRaider-3 at any point today, you might want to re-download the game. Whilst stress testing my level generator, I accidentally left a few "quirks" in there, including a cheat mode, and a "feature" that locks the game up and doesn't let you play. Ooops.. A fix has been uploaded, so if you're stuck with the broken version, you should go and grab the new one. The broken version sees the current level end if you hit the V key, and the whole game lock up if you try to load levels...

Hours! Literally hours I spent yesterday, sifting through the level generator code.
