Compo how to make a game in 8 hours
Compo? • 8h contest for game devs (6.5h in reality) • be prepared • coding standards • framework • perfect team • perfect game • presentation • demo (Cows can't fly)
Be prepared • idea (brainstorming) • tasks (write them down, assign) • download some content • grab a beer and chill out
Codingstandards • simplicity (#define private public) • skip everything skippable (delete, menu) • testing by running the app • fake as much as necessary (physics)
Framework • draw image (sfml, sdl) • play sound (sfml, openal) • get input (sfml, winapi) • do some physics (box2d)
Perfect team • 2 coders • 1.5 of graphic artist • 0.5 of designer
Perfectgame • particles, lots of particles • multiple layers of background • map generator (notepad, rand()) • win/lose conditions • content vs idea
Presentation • Smile • Avoid broken things • Add something funny (pegi 18) • Tell about the story
