Two Hours Late!
Just came back from the mosque and realized that I haven't checked the rules. They turned out to be quite hard... Brainwashing Propaganda?? How am I supposed to achieve that? :( Let's see what kind of ideas I can come up with in the next few hours.

Sooo
This is what I got so far. The name has nothing to do with what the game will turn out to be. :P If anyone wants to poke around on what I'm working on, I have everything on Bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/hasyimi/purpleunicorn. Sadly, the makefile is broken for now. :(

Gameplay
Coming with a gameplay is hard for me. So what I did was choose a random gameplay and tried to fit all the game rules into that. I'm going for a tower defense game!
Color symbolism fits quite easily into it.
Random spawning of enemies can be considered as randomness.
The speed of the game can be dynamically changed to tolerate with the player's performance.
I'm still unsure how to make a brainwashing propaganda though. I guess I'll just try to squeeze this is during the last few hours. :P -
Update!
Just got back from a dinner with the whole family, celebrating my sister's graduation. Now I have something moving on the screen. Quite sad compared to the others. :P

Enemy Spawning
Managed to get enemy spawning, plus a game state management framework (directly translated from XNA's sample). Still a long way to go. And I just wasted like 2 hours trying to figure out why the enemy wasn't being spawned, and it turns out I forgot to initialize a variable (it was working in debug). D:

Tower!
Now there's a tower! The tower sucks color out of the "enemies", turning them into black. Yes, I love black so much, and everyone must love it too! :D
-
Weee
Okay, so now the player can build towers, but it doesn't use up cash yet. My head hurts so bad due to lack of sleep... >.<
And I just realized how lame my game is! :P Not to mention it's not fun at all.

Explode They Shall
Simple particle system is up! Now the enemies explode into circles.
-
Suck
There's now visual feedback of the towers sucking colors. Okay, I should stop worrying about the particles and go implement more important things! Exactly 1 day left! D:

Krakka-BOOM
With less than 20 minutes on the clock, I decided to invoke The Act of Chameleon. I am invoking the Act of Chameleon to replace "Laziness" with "Krakka-BOOM".
