Over the past weekend I teamed up with @rsninja722, @wm-c, @exvacuum, (insert rest of names here), and our friend Sally to participate in the LudumDare46 game jam. This post will outline the game development process.
Day 0

..and so we started.
Day 0 was spend on three tasks:
- Deciding the story for our game
- Allocating tasks
- Building a software framework for the game
We decided to program our game in JavaScript (but not without an argument about types) because that is @rsninja722's primary language, and we can use his JS game engine, game.js. On top of that, we also decided to use SASS for styling, and I designed a CSS injector that allows us to share variables between JS and SASS.
After task allocation, I took on the job of handling sounds and sound loading for the game. I decided to start work on that during day 1, due to homework.
The game's progress at the end of Day 0 can be found at commit 0b4a1cd
Day 1
Day 1 started with @exvacuum developing a heartrate monitor system for the game:
