This past couple of days have been interesting.<\/p>\n
Yesterday I started setting up my streaming tools. My last contact with Twitch as a provider was right after launch, so it’s nice to see tools like OBS making everyone’s life easier. I had a second screen in the room that’s been unused for months so I went and bought an HDMI cable to get a double monitor environment for better coding.<\/p>\n
You can find the stream at:\u00a0Mr Pakoito’s Cavalcade of WTFs<\/a><\/p>\n So without further ado, I started streaming my initial project setup. My objective for today was getting from a fresh Android Studio install to having something on a screen and I must say it’s been a bit of a struggle but finally successful.<\/p>\n After some intense tinkering\u00a0with\u00a0Gradle and Android Studio I’ve been able to kickstart a prep project in Github that includes libgdx and artemis-odb running for windows and android on a click’s distance. I’ve also setup my fave color scheme (a heavily tweaked\u00a0Vibrant Ink), a code formatter leveraging Android’s best practices, and an array of key bindings for faster development.<\/p>\n The guys in the stream were curious about my first external dependency, Project Lombok. PL is a nice library sitting in your compiler’s annotator that saves you hours of writing boilerplate code for POJOs. Using it is “free”, given that is not a dependency to include in your app, just an annotation tool.<\/p>\n To stay within the compo’s rules here’s a link to\u00a0the\u00a0repo:\u00a0https:\/\/github.com\/pakoito\/ludumdare30<\/a><\/p>\n \n Tags: LD30<\/a>, preparation<\/a><\/p>","time":"August 19th, 2014 4:58 pm","title":"Things are a-moving!"}
