During LD 26 and 27 I spent too much time coding a simple game engine from scratch, wasting precious hours I could have used for the game logic. So over the warmup weekend I took the time to put together my base code that I intend to use for my LD 28 game. It is JavaScript code using HTML5\/canvas and is basically an improved combination of the game engines I wrote during LD 26 and LD 27.<\/p>\n

To adhere to the Compo rules and to give you all the\u00a0possibility to use my code as well, I have pushed my base code to github: https:\/\/github.com\/ZYXer-\/ludum-dare-base-code<\/a><\/p>\n

The base code consists of:
\n – a basic game loop
\n – mouse\/keyboard input processing
\n – image preloading<\/p>\n

I’ve also included some of my personal libraries for:
\n – loading and displaying PNG fonts
\n – particle systems
\n – pathfinding (using A*)<\/p>\n

I’m distributing the code under the GPL2 license, so feel free to use any part of it for your own project. And please report any bugs \ud83d\ude09<\/p>","time":"December 10th, 2013 6:12 pm","title":"My base code"}
