This week, dubbed as hell week episode one for reasons we all know why, will be tough. I will try to do as much as i can.
As i mentioned in previous entries, i wanted to add this sense of urgency. This notion that time is not on their side and that they have to extinguish the fire as fast as they can. But obviously with very different motivations. In the case of this game, to score as many points as they can from the number for fire they can extinguish.
Using ChatGPT to help with this portion, i was able to get something working right out of the box.
I tested the game and realised that 20 seconds was a bit too long and that sense of urgency faded really quickly. I decided to cut it by 5 more seconds to 15 seconds. I felt that that was the sweet spot before it getting too boring.
This means that i have to include a way to detect the amount of fire put out.
In this way, when the fire disappears, it will add to the total score which will be displayed along side the end screen after the timer ends. Same as above.
