‘Why everyone is posting these “I’m in!” posts?’ I asked myself and decided to post an “I’m in!” post.
Guess what? I’m in! This will be my third Ludum Dare and I’m so happy to do something blah blah blah and see how everyone else do blah blah blah and so on.
Anyway, let me introduce you the tools I’m going to use:
- OS: Xubuntu (Windows is for them who do not know how to use Linux terminal)
- Programming language: Html5/Javascript
- Framework: None (frameworks are for them who do not know how to do things without a framework)
- Third-party libraries: howler.js (WebAudio API is too complex for rapid development) and Game Jolt API Javascript library
- IDE: Eclipse
- Graphics: Pinta + GIMP (too bad Paint.NET is no available for Linux…)
- Audio: bfxr (sounds effects are all I need, although I might use PixiTracker for music)
- Text editor: gedit
- Web browser: Firefox and Chromium (for some reason 64-bit Ubuntu’s Firefox runs some HTML5 games very slowly so sometimes I have to use Chromium for debugging)
- Other tools: Dropbox (I use two computers, one desktop and one laptop) and Linux terminal emulator (you will always need it when using Linux)

Hey! I was actually looking for a simple Tracker that would work on Linux (Xubuntu also) and it looks like PixiTracker might be what I’m looking for. Thanks!
