I&#8217;ve done 3 years of a CS course at University, and have done plenty of extra work with JS &#8211; so I figured I&#8217;d give this a shot. At the very least, it&#8217;ll be an informative experience. At best, I get myself a good game out of it!<\/p>\n <p>I am spectacularly unprepared &#8211; a busy weekend last weekend and work this week means I&#8217;ve not had time to prep what I&#8217;m going to do or even what I&#8217;m going to build this with.<\/p>\n <p>But!<\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;ll be using&#8230;<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li><strong>JavaScript \/ HTML5<\/strong> for creating the game. I&#8217;ll be finding a 2D game engine to build this with (possibly <a title=\"JosJS\" href=\"http:\/\/joyjs.org\/\">JoyJS <\/a>or something similar).<\/li>\n <li><strong>Notepad++<\/strong> as my editor<\/li>\n <li>Mercurial \/ <strong>TortoiseHG<\/strong> \/ Bitbucket for source control<\/li>\n <li>I may be using <strong><a title=\"Tiled\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mapeditor.org\/\">Tiled <\/a><\/strong>to generate maps with. But maybe not.<\/li>\n <li>I&#8217;ll be getting art from either somewhere like <a title=\"OpenGameArt\" href=\"http:\/\/opengameart.org\/\">OpenGameArt<\/a>, or just throwing something together myself. My image editor is <strong>Paint.NET<\/strong>.<\/li>\n <li>Sound will either be from some LD-related sound effect generator or there&#8217;ll be none. If I have time, I&#8217;ve just started learning guitar so I might do some background chords or something.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>Well, uh.<\/p>\n <p>Wish me luck!<\/p>","time":"August 23rd, 2013 2:59 pm","title":"Well, I\u2019m in!"}
