How many and what do they want to eat?

30 05 07 - 23:16 New type of thing to build. A restaurant. Only one type so far, and only one frame (still not finished...).




Coming next: the restaurant actually opens, and it can be more or less popular.

Then I guess it's transport.

It really is fun trying to think of the best way in which something can be stored, manipulated and implemented. Depending on the task (some tasks are very straight forward and easy. zTower is neither...), a small part of the job of a coder is to know and write the language. A larger part is to actually work out how to go about the task, and the most efficient way of going about it.

My language of choice here is raw C and SDL. Fast (except that SDL is spending most of it's time in SDL_BlitSurface :) ), and not particularly hard to code (or is it just that I know it well? It really is not that difficult a language...).
