Day One - 8 bit RPG

I didn't have high hopes for today as I knew I would spend most of it out and about. It has thankfully turned out to be productive and a solid basis for moving on. Oh and quite fun too.

I got up early and discovered the theme choice. 8 bit will suit my RPG - not just in look and game type. Hoping to work in various 8 bit era references - I grew up with a Dragon 32. Currently playing Pokemon on the GBA so this will be another influence.

Codewise, first thing I wrote was a dungeon or cave generator - lots of scope to improve that. Tweaks to come. Some scaffolding, some utility stuff and most fun was creating my own 8 by 8 pixel font. Time for some sleep now!
