Sprint 001 is released!

I am happy to announce that I finally finished the first iteration on Blocky Brothers. I.e. the first playable version which acts like a real game. It has a beginning, it has music, it has a logo, enemies, lots of jumping and even a finish condition followed by ending credits!

However do not expect too much :) It is only the first vertical slice with many more bits to follow.

Lessons learned: Making games, even the tiniest ones, includes a lot of work. By now the least part of it is about coding.

Ok, thats enough for today. No time for documentation at 2 AM.

Please note: I haven't yet figured out how to scale everything correctly. I.e. the resolution is fixed to 1000x875. However this shouldn't be a problem for most of the displays out there...
