I Made a Video Game!

I made my first video game! When I was young, I decided I was going to be a video game developer. That has since changed to general program designing, but it's kind of an accomplishment of sorts to have actually done something that I dreamed of when I was younger.

The game I created was for a school project, and it's nothing shnazzy: horribly simple, blocky, few colors, and only about five minutes worth of gameplay. But hey, it's still a game! I called it Randzle, and it's a puzzle game with Tetris-like pieces. Randzle is a contraction, with rand coming from random colors, and the zle comes from puzzle. When I was able to add sound to the game though it was a lot better. I used VIRTUALVIBE's AmberTrance from OverClocked ReMix, and sound effects from Gemcraft and SimCopter.
