Scrolly thingy


Nothing special today: just a scrollable list box for selecting types (to place on the level). It has been interesting dabbling in implementing my own UI controls, but I am also happy I will be moving on to actual editor things now!

So apparently Ludum Dare (LD48 for short) is on right now (this weekend). For those not familiar, it is a competition to quickly create games in 48 hours. I have always wanted to participate in one of these, but never seem to be free on the weekends it's on...

Maybe I can show this off at a LD17520. Yep, that's right - according to the revision history, I have been working on Battle Balloons for two years! To be fair, in that time I have also been busy working on releasing BioShock 2 and soon-to-be-released The Darkness II. These commercial titles put the food on the table, so they have always taken priority. :)

Anyway, time to drive to Toronto to visit some buddies for the weekend!
