Hi all!

After missing LD26 due to family commitments, I’m back in for LD27.  Looking forward to it!

I’m using another new technology this time: Emscripten, to compile C++ code using SDL (and ideally OpenGL) into JavaScript code playable in a web page.  The guys have done a remarkably good job on that; I’ve just been trying it out recently, and it’s really cool.  I’m in the middle of a bit of indecision about exactly which libraries to use, as I’ve been playing with SDL, and that’s really cool, but unfortunately not all of it is implemented in Emscripten yet – including some things I was going to depend on, such as setting colours and transparency levels for surface blitting.  I’m having a last-minute look into using the WebGL subset of OpenGL ES 2 in it, in the hope that I can get everything going that I need – though the question arises whether it’s really worth using WebGL via Emscripten as opposed to just WebGL in JavaScript… hmmm (:

The little bit of my own library code I’ve been using, to make sure I can actually get something going in the time, is here.

Adding to this interesting situation is my current lack of Internet access from home.  Well, luckily there’s an Internet cafe nearby, but that may lead to me finishing early, as they’re not likely to be open when LD27 closes at 2am Sunday night, UK time… I have some ideas about uploading at the last minute via my mobile phone, but we’ll see.

Target Platform: Web
Language: C++ / Emscripten / JavaScript / HTML5 / WebGL (wheeee)
Development Environment: QtCreator on Linux (Kubuntu 13.04)
Graphics: GIMP
Sound: SFXR + Autotracker

Good luck to all, and may your bugs be few and uncomplicated!
