\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This year I submitted an entry to GitHub Game Off 2017<\/a>. It’s called Wildflower Child<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The challenge for the game jam was to create a game on the theme throwback<\/b> during the month of November. I actually started right away, and came up with a very cool idea that I’d still like to implement someday. To nobody’s surprise, I didn’t carve out enough time to actually work on the game. I got as far as downloading the Godot engine<\/a> and walking through a few of it’s tutorials before realizing I’d probably picked something too ambitious, given the holidays and this being a busy time of year at work. So I gave up on the jam.<\/p>\n

Alleson encouraged me to pick something up again, and when I got sick enough to miss work in the last week of the month I started noodling on an old idea for a gardening game. I wanted to play with dynamically generated and animated flowers, so I threw together a little JavaScript that would build them in SVG.<\/p>\n

\n

Well, I totally failed to make time for #GitHubGameOff<\/a> – so I'm at least doing some initial exploration for an old idea, and generating some SVG flowers. pic.twitter.com\/ajyHtkg9tp<\/a><\/p>\n
