I have a blag!

It is already over, those last 12 weeks went by really fast and I must say they were 12 weeks of total awesomeness! In the beginning of the summer I have set myself a bunch of goals that I wanted to reach and I’m very happy to say that I have reached them all! I wanted to port Nibbles to Clutter, I wanted the port to be very similar to the original on the gameplay side and I also wanted to introduce some great animation in order to give a touch of bling to the game. All of which I believe I successfully completed.

Of course the game is not bug free, there’s more work that need to be done but don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere. I will continue my work on Nibbles as long as it’s needed. I really enjoy working on this kind of project and I’m looking forward for the inclusion of my gnibbles-clutter branch into the master branch of gnome-games in a near future.

I have produced a screencast to showcase the current state of my branch as of August 16 but really, the best way to appreciate the animations is to compile the code and try it for yourself. Most of the animation currently in place are subtle you probably won’t be able to appreciate them in this screencast but here we go.
