Bosca Ceoli<\/a><\/strong> for music<\/p>\n Bfxr<\/a><\/strong> for sound effects<\/p>\n Haxe<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0compiled to SWF for code<\/p>\n Gimp and Pixen for art<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My goal for this LD is to beat my previous highest overall ranking, which was #180. For some reason I did best in the first ever LD I participated in, but after that each one after felt more like a slog and I never really enjoyed it as much and performed poorly (somewhere around #600-#800 each time).<\/p>\n Now I’ve studied a bit from the pros<\/a>, learned some new tricks and will hopefully do better.<\/p>\n I switched from using Flash directly to compiling with Haxe instead, as it seems to be a better compiler. I tweaked the code-test cycle to close to minimum by using LiveReload and some glue code<\/a>. Now when I write new code and save, it compiles and runs the Flash game automatically.<\/p>\n Here’s a Haxe minimal project<\/a>\u00a0and some sprite code<\/a>\u00a0I did as a test to warm up. Might use these as a base.<\/p>\n Still to rehearse before the compo starts:<\/p>\n \n
