Oh well;  at least I made some progress, still!  The shot above is a partial screengrab of the current state of play.  The red rectangle represents the player, the blue rectangles represent other game objects.  They&#8217;ll all be replaced with other graphics, eventually;  probably Saturday.  And the eagle-eyed among you will have noticed the score display that i&#8217;ve blatantly copy and pasted out of the Asteroids sample game from VectorStorm.<\/p>\n<p>At this moment, the game does respond to player controls, but you can&#8217;t yet really play the game;  no scoring is implemented, and very few actual gameplay functions are in place.  But at least all the major types of gameplay objects are there, and it&#8217;s just a matter of wiring up all their functionality.  With any luck, I&#8217;ll be able to make up for lost time tomorrow, and get my full gameplay prototype implemented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s late.
