I wrote a game in 4 hours.
2008-12-07, 2:18 PM #1
This weekend was a LudumDare, a 48 hour gaming competition. Unfortunately for me, I had to work, deal with my girlfriend, fight off a google hijack virus, and storyboard for Geb. So I spent about 4 hours total on my entry.

What I really want to know is if the level 1124 is solvable. Just stick that into the custom level box.

Yeah. I expect you to get that error message, microsoft hasn't pushed the 2008 runtime through windows update because they are idiots.

I would just like to point out that he told me he wasn't storyboarding until Monday, so no blaming me! :P

Can you describe your game for us?

Turns out it was a debug build. Download it again.

probably requires .NET 3.5, or 2.0 depending on how it was built
2008-12-07, 3:07 PM #15
No it doesn't.
2008-12-07, 3:26 PM #16
No, it just needs the VC runtimes. It works for me, probably because I have VS2008 installed. :XD:

Also the game itself is pretty boring. And it looks like a bad Java applet.

Level 1124 is not solvable. :(
2008-12-07, 4:11 PM #18
i'm sure 1124 is solvable... i saw a few possible solutions as i failed but didn't feel like trying them

Couldn't get the game to work but I don't even think I have .net2.0 installed

It doesn't use .net. :carl:

Oh well.. it still doesn't change the fact that I dont care.

Solved 1124 first go. 'Twas easy.
2008-12-07, 9:41 PM #25
Hey that's pretty fun!

Also, is that 1124 thing sarcasm? The level was almost completely solved already from the start...

Nice work!

Fun and mind challenging!
Nothing to see here, move along.
2008-12-07, 10:21 PM #29
Yeah, I don't get it. 1124 seemed very easy. 11124 on the other hand... :huh:

Edit: actually, that wasn't so bad, either.

The first level is impossible.

You know, the one where you install it?
This signature agrees with the previously posted signatures. To violate previously posted signatures is a violation of the EULA for this signature and you will be subject to unruly behavior.

I got stuck on that one too. The support is really lame too, I was told to install some random MS crap but it didn't fix it and they didn't have anymore solutions :(

Hey JM, how does it feel to deal with all the BS game designers and companies deal with on a daily basis? You should hire someone to run tech support lines. :XD:
