Game is running at 20fps on the device, a good improvement from the 6fps I started at. I focused on the graphics rendering for start, but there are other areas that I want to look into next.
Next up
Cornering the NPC to hit him with a stick is a bit mean - he's obviously afraid of me doing that. I will improve their avoidance algorithm.
Coming up with the UI navigation for the available actions for the turn based combat system that I want to give a try.
Today I'm going to work on trying to compile my game to this mini device, the Thumby Color. So far, I only have a program deployed that blinks. Been delaying this for too long... it'll be a chunk of work to get it working.

Trying to come up with the UI for a turn based combat system, replacing the dexterity game I initially had in mind as the UX on device doesn't work so well. The challenge: The UI must fit on the 128x128 screen.
NPCs are now coming, prepare and execute an attack animation and switch out again. Next up: Executing the defense action of the player to defend - or failing and taking damage.

Testing out spicing up the combat.
Attacks need to be timed now and can fail (or crit). For NPC attacks, I want to add something similar.
Do you think this is going to work?
