I’m in, one more time this year :D

Hey guys, If you are reading this now, you are going to learn about my plans for the next Ludum Dare, which is going to be the 34th Ludum Dare, so far.

So I’ll get up at 3am (the LD jam starts at 4am, but I need at least 1 cup of coffee) in the morning and that sucks. Then I’ll start creating and setting up the projects (the game core, client and server), if I’m doing a multiplayer game, otherwise I’ll just create a project and start coding.

And just because I’m lazy and I don’t want to type anymore I’ll put the other things in a list:

  • Coding, coding and coding…
  • Adding some sprites, textures
  • Some sleeping
  • Going outside with friends for 2-6 hours
  • Then coding as fast as I can, skipping one night
  • Thinking how terrible my game is
  • And submitting it in the last 5-10 minutes

Tools I’m going to use:

  • Eclipse : as Java IDE
  • Java : as programming language
  • Paint.NET : as image editor
  • Blender (if I’m creating a 3D game) : as 3D modeling tool
  • LWJGL (if I’m creating a 3D game) : as Java OpenGL library
  • Bfxr : as sound effects generator
  • Chronolapse (maybe, with ‘maybe’, I mean around 15% chance to use it) : find info here

That’s what I’m doing during a LD jam!

Good luck, everyone 😀 And don’t forget the rule: “Just have fun!”

How did you learn to program in Java?

TheNewBoston’s tutorials are actually pretty good, you can try them, but when it comes to game programming try watching TheChernoProject. 😀
