It’s Ludum Dare time!<\/p>\n

I guess I’ll use JavaScript, but maybe Python (except for not having made graphics or GUIs with it before), because I like Python. If JavaScript, I may use WebGL, since I looked at it the last weeks, but then again it looks like every OpenGL. Canvas would be easier, so they are possible, too.<\/p>\n

Since my ability to draw is epsilon (very small, but greater than zero), I guess I’ll use single colored rectangles as graphics, made procedurally in the code or with any graphics tool – maybe Paint.NET, Gimp, definitely not Pinta (yay, we have features: click here to select a rectangle! ups, not implemented yet, but look at this fancy menu telling you to use it. to take a tip from me: don’t waste your time with pinta).<\/p>\n

Sound and music is always fun, but none of my JS games contained any of it. If sound then sfxr\/bfxr I guess.<\/p>\n

Since noone needs GUIs I will probably use vim\/emacs\/nano for coding (it’s fun to become used to the key commands – and to use the ones from the other program – always) and Firefox\/python\/pdb for executing and debugging.<\/p>\n

All in all: Let’s have fun, have good ideas, make and kill bugs, draw graphics and create games!<\/p>","time":"August 21st, 2014 12:41 pm","title":"Again, I am in, too"}
