I’ve been wanting to Ludum Dare for a while, but I can’t code for beans. Seriously. The last time a bean asked me to write a function, I just froze up. Mostly because my beans were talking to me. So instead, I’m going to “compete” in the Game Jam alongside a code-savvy teammate or two, but will otherwise be following the rules for the solo Compo.<\/p>\n

We’ll be dual-screen streaming over here, as soon as the theme is announced: http:\/\/www.gamefetch.tv\/?ch1=hitchh1k3r&ch2=solifuge<\/p>\n

Hybrid Compo-Jam Rules are as follows:<\/span>
\n 1) You can work alone or on a team.
\n 2) All game code and content must be created within the 48 hours (72 if we blow it).
\n 3) Games must be based on the theme.
\n 4) All publicly available libraries and middleware are allowed.
\n 5) All content creation, and development tools are allowed.
\n 6) Source code must be included.<\/p>\n

As for the project specs:<\/span>
\n Language:<\/strong> Java
\n IDE:<\/strong> Eclipse (with Saros plugin)
\n Libraries:<\/strong> LWJGL and Slick-Util
\n Sound:<\/strong> FruityLoops, bfxr, audacity
\n Graphics:<\/strong> GraphicsGale, maybe PaintToolSAI
\n Food:<\/strong> Leftover Chicken Penne Rosa (from scratch; I cook better than I code)
\n Beverage:<\/strong> Excessive ammounts of Chai Tea.
\n Palette:<\/strong>
\n \"\"<\/p>\n \n
