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.<\/p>\n

So far my preparation has consisted of two things:-<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Deciding what I will me making a game in<\/li>\n
  2. Setting up an empty git repository<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

    I will be making my game in HaxeFlixel<\/a>. This was originally a port of the popular AS3 Flixel<\/a> library to the cross-platform Haxe<\/a> programming language. I think it is fair to say that HaxeFlixel has since surpassed being a mere port, with many new features and improvements.<\/p>\n

    My git repository can be found here: https:\/\/github.com\/JoeCreates\/LD48<\/a><\/p>\n

    Good luck to all you other guys doing LD for the first time!<\/p>","time":"April 25th, 2014 2:49 pm","title":"Preparations for my first Ludum Dare"}
