Greetings,

As the title suggests this will be my third Ludum Dare, and the first time I’ve done some serious (or not so) programming in quite a while. I’m very excited for this one for some reason and I’ve been looking forward to it for a couple of months.

I’m going to be working with JavaScript again, making use of the html5 canvas element. Here are the libraries I like to work with:

1.  pixiJS – http://www.pixijs.com/
   Check out it’s feature list, it’s quite impressive. Here’s why I use it:
   “Pixi’s strength is speed. All-out, pedal-to-the-metal speed. When it comes to 2D rendering, Pixi is the fastest there is. End of!”
2. PhysicsJS – http://wellcaffeinated.net/PhysicsJS/
   A free open source physics engine designed with and for javascript.
   “A modular, extendable, and easy-to-use physics engine for javascript”
3. RequireJS – http://requirejs.org/
   I use require mostly to make JS a little more “classy” as it allows you to use the modular pattern naturally and helps you to avoid polluting the global namespace.

And that’s it, there’s a chance I’ll have to throw in jQuery just for quality of life but I’d like to try and avoid it.

Good luck everyone I hope you all have a fantastic time!
