Day 2
This post is one in a series that is cross-posted from the Ludum Dare competition that took place August 8-10, to make a game in just 48 hours.
Added a pre-rendered Game Over image to the game, plus the animation now stops (so dying is now worse than being notified of your death, it actually stops play). Next up: winning!
I woke up a little late, and I have a thing to go to in an hour. When I left my computer last night, I stupidly said “I should see if I can get my resolution higher on my monitor” and went in and mucked things up big time. After 20 minutes, nothing worked and when it rebooted, I was in 640 x 480. I went to bed and tackled it this morning, but nothing was working. Finally, I realized the KVM switch was probably interfering with the autodetect or something, so I routed it all to my linux box and it now works. Unfortunately that means my Windows box is now headless, and that’s where I keep my Civ IV! Maybe I need a better KVM switch… Maybe a need a bigger apartment so I can have two monitors and keyboards.
