ANDROID STEVE
Well, this was my first Game in a Day. I was really looking forward to participating but it got closer and closer and I just didn't get any ideas, so I decided to just hang out in the room and see what others were doing. The one project that really jumped out at me was Wiz's... it was just a very simple puzzle game... and I liked it, so I asked him if I could just have something to do by cloning his game and he said it was fine, so I went off to work.
I decided to speed things up a little by doing it in VB with DirectX 7 and, 8 hours later I had a working game, 2 levels, and a nice level editor.
Here's some screenies:
Info Screen:
Level1:
(Notice the path, the borders are all generated in code so that the level creator doesn't have to worry about that and just places a simple path.)
Level Editor:
MattF was nice and allowed me to host it on his site, currently theres only 2 levels though, but the editor is quite simple and you can go and make your own and if anyone creates any they'd like to share just e-mail them to me at dajackel(at)gmail.com and I'll bug matt to see if he'll add them to the zip.

Thanks! Any comments would be appreciated.
