In the run-up to the compo I ported my LD26 entry (&#8220;squarespace&#8221;) as a learning exercise. The base code and game implementation can be downloaded from the link below, I&#8217;ll be using this as a reference. Hoping to make a small game based off this in the warm-up this weekend, and see if I can get Android\/HTML5 support working too&#8230;<\/p>\n <p>My tool set<strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li><strong>Language<\/strong>: Java<\/li>\n <li><strong>IDE<\/strong>: IntelliJ IDEA<\/li>\n <li><strong>Libraries<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/berkano\/katsu\">Katsu\u00a0v4<\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>(Personal Library\/Base Code for 2D Java Games &#8211; based on libgdx)<\/li>\n <li><strong>Level Design<\/strong>: Tiled<\/li>\n <li><strong>Graphics<\/strong>: Photoshop<\/li>\n <li><strong>Sounds\/Music<\/strong>: OpenMPT, Audacity, SFXR<\/li>\n <li><strong>Other:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.coburgcoffeecompany.com\/rizzi_coffee.html\">Coffee<\/a> (coding); <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pizzagogo.co.uk\/\">Pizza<\/a>\u00a0(survival); <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bestbelgianspecialbeers.be\/main_eng.html\">Tripel Karmeliet<\/a>\u00a0(late night motivation\/humorization\/removal of creative blocks)<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>Good luck to all &#8211; here&#8217;s hoping for a good theme, and looking forward to playing your entries!<\/p>","time":"August 14th, 2013 10:34 am","title":"I\u2019m in, v5.0"}
