You know anyone that enters this WW can whack a dev-crunch sticker on it an do the christmas compo thing. I'm kinda tempted to do the santa gone wild thing. You never know might even manage to scronge a runners up prize. Mega Handglider + Santa

My game isn't bad but, my graphics have gone horribly wrong. It now looks like santa is stuck to a giant snowball and he's rolling away from the shark looking reindeers in a giant grassland .

Mine is far far worse shroom_monk. And my reindeers are quite literally quarter of a circle. Ok, It's back to the drawing board to fix the dodgy graphics.

Have a scanner? You could always hand-draw an outline, then scan it in and edit it (adding colour etc) on your computer.

Yeah, but I'm better at computerised drawing than real life drawing. And I'm pathetic at computerised drawing, hence the fact, my drawing is rubbish. My drawing has always been rubish. The only reason I got an A in the art exam is because one of my final drafts done at home, I traced it, then photocopied it onto squared paper. I then used this to derive co-ordinates and then replotted the co-ordinates to produce my final draft. Using the final draft, I measured out every single point during the lesson and plotted it onto my final piece. No cheating there, just some intelligent thinking. After all, That's what our Head of Geography promotes *Slaps andrewsoltan on the cheek with a rather large salmon* |

Best thing to do is work on the game, and put in simple 'filler' graphics. Then, when the game is done, replace the 'filler' graphics with better ones.

To be honest, my game engine(code not graphics) is simply at a stage of handing in now. However, I'm contemplating the idea of adding levels, which by the looks of things, is going ot be rather easy. As form my, graphics, I'm off to the gimp to fix them.

Workshop Over! 3 entries for this week, surprisingly from the exact same 3 authors as last week. For those keeping score, Magicman won last week's challenge with a 75% rating. (Shroom had 50%, and Andrew 25%*) *Scores accurate at time of post. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
