Very very addictive game! Thrilled to know its a first time attempt.

Keep developing, and sharing such insights! all the best

nice! What game engine did you use?

Mario Zechner's Book mentions the early version of libGDX, I have used it.

It would be great if you put more details on actual artwork - how did you make it, what tools did you use, etc...

Interesting take on creativity. Applying the scientific method to more and more disciplines seems to be a trend lately.

I agree with the reasoning, but am curious how iterative creativity can be applied on the individual scale for projects that take longer than a month and a half to complete.

Most important thing about iterative creativity is the cycle of iteration. When the project is distributed the cycle automatically becomes large which slows down the iteration cycle. That is the reason why startup succeed at coming up with interesting solutions in the beginning of the there journey.

Any link (or bunch of links) for specific tutorial that you have followed?

You should read Mario Zechner's book before starting the development process.

What's with all the kukuruku articles on the front page? Where did this site come from?

No clue, but "kukuruku" sounds a lot like the Russian onomatopoeia for the sound a rooster makes, and the submitter has the word "skazka" in his or her name, which is the Russian word for "tale" or "story".

Hah, same for Greece, although it's "kikiriku" here. We have a wafer candy thing called "kukuruku", which makes the site's name funny to me. And also delicious.

kukuruku sounds like the waffles brand that they used to sell in Russia..

Whenever I see "kukuruku", I start hearing this song in my head:

I start hearing this version though:

It seems like an alternative to Medium.com. I suspect that if people continue to use it, it will get the same initial penalty as Medium submissions.

I'm the founder. Kukuruku Hub is a collaborative blogging for engineers, designers, etc, meaning that any user can write an article and publish it to an appropriate hub. Kukuruku is more like a hobby than a real business.

Ah, I see. I just found it odd that there's been an uptick of submissions from it lately.

Kukuruku is a clone of Russian Habrahabr website, it mostly contains translations of posts from http://habrahabr.ru/.
