Dev log

All time is CEST

07:14

Wake up, discover the theme on Twitter. Start scrambling ideas. Take breakfast.
08:22

Initialise github repo. A few ideas popping up already. Try to avoid obvious sea references.
08:35

Start this dev log!
08:41

Dev log now publicly advertised.
09:51

First hurdle. GL doesn't want to Clear and I have no clue.
09:55

Duh. Found via rubberducking I was calling some stuff before MakeContextCurrent. 20min lost.
09:57

Sideband idea: make this file post new LIs to Twitter on push (with link to file+line on Github)
10:08

I miss fuzzy jump to function in vim. Adding ctags to CtrlP right now, with fswatch . "ctags *.go"
10:35

Still sorting out the basic frame code, but I've got an idea, and backgroundly crunching on game mechanics.
10:36

Twitter stream in #LD48 proves to be a real boost to morale. Much less noisy than IRC.
11:57

And we have a spritesheet!
12:12

Taking a light break to stuff self.body with calories
12:45

Short on supplies. Have to get out or risk falling down in 2 hours due to lack or carbohydrates in bloodstream.
14:12

Got sidetracked in reading Doom engine trivia
15:21

Getting to terms with OpenGL. Sprite system coming along nicely
16:09

Sprites keep their relative size and aspect ratio. Also, sprite scaling.
17:54

After much fight against GLOrtho, now having arbitrary sprite positioning in viewport coordinates.
17:55

Girlfriend back home. Let's take a break and have a walk outside.
19:15

Back to the task!
19:40

Sprite rotation support
20:34

Going concurrent. Goroutines, channels and closures make passing input events outside the locked OpenGL thread really easy.
20:51

Time for another break. Calories needed.
21:30

Back to jamming! ... on and off.
23:45

Managed to do some mouse tracking with sprite pointer
10:39

Moved out to nearby Starbucks. Connection is crappy, but back to jamming.
