Sorry for the delay; a lot of behind-the-scenes framework was needed to make animations go nicely.

Wow, they get big. And even cuter.

Maybe make it so they start to shrink after a little while.

I dunno, it needs to be smoothed out a bit, because it's a little hard to get them to eat.

make them shrink slowly and and stars regenerate slowly, so the fun never ends!

I think the boxes get too big too fast.

How about regenerate stars and have an enemy box?

I do have some enemy ideas, but haven't done any yet. I probably need to do a little cleanup and break the code into separate files.

Slowly. And have them cry when they're being eaten.

Have the boxes shrink at all times, and if they shrink to a certain point, they die.

Have different boxes shrink at different rates, but grow more or less depending on how fast they shrink.

So, a really quickly shrinking one would grow very large with a star, whereas a slowly shrinking one would not grow quite as big.

Nothing to show for today; just did some behind-the-scenes tweaks to the code that should make things more pleasant for me down the line.

Probably not going to go for the cannibalism, y'all. wink

But starving is on the list.

Hehehehehe! This is great!

Hmm, maybe now's the time to add a score? This feels like a game in which high scores are going to be at least smiled about.

Maybe slow down the rate of shrinking? In the time it took one box to eat a star, all the other ones died, and I couldn't eat fast enough to keep the other one alive. Maybe increase the size of the spot that registers an eat. it's kind of hard for me to get them to eat on command.

I have a message from another time...

They should have to go through a maze to get the stars!

Hmm... yeah I agree, they explode too fast. And there aren't enough stars going around to sustain them all, either. The boxes are too fast and the stars are too slow.

#47: Feb 12th 2011 at 1:02:03 PM

Oh, and some of the stars should give the boxes special powers. Also, give the boxes names, and change the background to something more interesting.

I agree with Enlong, the responsiveness needs to be improved.

We need drivable vehicles and bumpmapping.
