Warmup Collide and Die<\/a> done!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Collide and Die<\/p><\/div>\n

Here are my plans:<\/p>\n

Sleep until ~7 Saturday morning. Check the theme (announced at 3 a.m. in my timezone). Eat breakfast. Code. Art. Sound. Deliver continuously.<\/p>\n

Tools:<\/p>\n

Engine<\/strong>: If I go for 2D, I’ll use Phaser as I did in the warmup. It will be my first Phaser game. Anyway it will be HTML5 based again. If 3D, I’ll use Goo Engine.<\/p>\n

Environment<\/strong>: Most likely a ThinkPad running Linux Mint. CoffeeScript as language, edited in Sublime. Chrome for running and debugging.<\/p>\n

Audio<\/strong>: I hope I’ll get some audio in this time, probably using BFXR for sound effects and Caustic 3 or OpenMPT for music. Audacity for editing and conversion.<\/p>\n

Graphics<\/strong>: Definitely Gimp. Inkscape if I need 2D vector graphics. Blender if I need 3D. Maybe even Photoshop.<\/p>\n

Other tools<\/strong>: Tiled as tilemap editor. Git on Github for version control. Nginx as web server. Git and Fabric for deployment to server.<\/p>\n

EDIT: Forgot to link to my base code: It’s the master branch in this repo<\/a>.<\/p>","time":"April 22nd, 2014 3:18 pm","title":"Warmed up and ready"}
