I’m in, but this time for real; the last GOD DAMN 7 TIMES something else came up unexpectedly so I could not participate. I’m not sure with which tools I am going to work though. I didn’t notice there was a compo coming up until yesterday. I just returned from my holidays and I haven’t programmed anything in 2 month, which is of course the perfect condition to participate.

Because this compo took me by surprise, I am not even sure which tools I am going to use. It’s going to be one of

Free Pascal + Lazarus, SDL2 with Pascal bindings

Free Pascal + Lazarus, OpenGL + LCL (Lazarus Component Library, most pleasant GUI library I have ever used, especially with Lazarus and it’s WYSIWYG GUI Editor)

Python 3 + PyCharm, Pygame

Python 3 + PyCharm, PySDL2

Quickly Pixeling some Sprites I will probably just use Paint.net . Since I lost all three pens for my graphics tablet, I will just pixel something dirty by mouse.

Music is going to be the last thing I do, I haven’t quite decided what to use. I will take a look at what other people use, or maybe I will do something fancy and procedual in the Chuck programming language (You can basically programm sounds and sound effects, check it out).

I will try to get some sleep soon, as the Compo starts at about 3 am here. Maybe I can squeeze in some hours of training to get my rusty fingers moving again before that.

Good luck to everyone, especially to all those participating for the first time, and those programming their engines from scratch like me.
