Preparations for my first Ludum Dare
Three hours to go . . . is it too late to do some preparation? Frankly, I have little idea of how to prepare. As this is my first Ludum Dare, I thought I should try to do at least some preparation. Perhaps if I’d spent more time preparing to prepare, I’d have more of an idea of how to prepare. At least I know for next time.
So far my preparation has consisted of two things:-
- Deciding what I will me making a game in
- Setting up an empty git repository
I will be making my game in HaxeFlixel. This was originally a port of the popular AS3 Flixel library to the cross-platform Haxe programming language. I think it is fair to say that HaxeFlixel has since surpassed being a mere port, with many new features and improvements.
My git repository can be found here: https://github.com/JoeCreates/LD48
Good luck to all you other guys doing LD for the first time!
