Hello all !

In order to let people know about the process of making a game for bitbox (or a toy 2D Game in general, this post will have very few specifics to bitbox, next ones will be more involved) , I'll blog a few times to show you that in detail.

The game will consist in a bunch of people jumping out of a building on fire, and a team of two firemen who will make them bounce to the ambulance. It'll be programmed in C99, without any complex techniques.

Sounds familiar ?
