Game 9: Defender

Windows only, sorry!
edit: Mac App made by my friend.

I made this in C, using SDL. I'm happy with how it turned out, I think my pixel art is getting slightly better! The portals look a bit rubbish though. As usual I left the UI until last and it's a bit rushed.

C is very tricky to get used to. I'm glad I made something in it and I can see the power of using it but it's a lot easier to make mistakes in. That or it doesn't tell you when you're doing dangerous things. I had some interesting bugs, including an array overflowing into another variable!

SDL was absolute hell to work with. Configuring all the various libraries was horrible and actually getting anything working took hours and a lot of help from a friend. It is very fast though, so maybe once I've learnt some more C and got used to it I'll be able to use it better.

Next week I feel like making a puzzle game? Maybe!
