Very nice. Good video too. I like hearing the origin story if the game. And to your point about not wanting to show your code... ugly code is beautiful code really. Anything I write is akin to modelling with clay... using hammers. But if it does the job (especially any smooth UX bits) and resource availability is not particularly critical then all good. Seeing that process play out through code structure is cool though. Much more interesting than some ultra optimised minimalist code. When it comes to a game, I think a slightly chaotic code base actually lends some artistic effect that bleeds through the actual visual/aural/haptic interfaces. Game looks fun though, is what I'm getting at. Make sure to post a link to the demo when it arrives!
