This’ll be my first Ludum Dare!\u00a0I think I’m going with Love2d since my C++ SDL2 engine isn’t quite ready, and Love2d is fast at prototyping games and is very portable.
\n Here are my tools:<\/p>\n
OS:<\/strong> Ubuntu<\/p>\n Graphics:\u00a0<\/strong>Gimp, MyPaint, and Inkscape<\/p>\n Sound:<\/strong> SFXR and Audacity<\/p>\n Library: <\/strong>Love2d<\/p>\n I’ll be streaming to Twitch at http:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/h4tch<\/a> and recording a timelapse.\u00a0 The scripts I’m using are available on my BitBucket<\/a>, so if you’re running Linux (maybe even Mac) you are welcome to use them (requires mencoder and scrot for timelapse, or avconv for recording and streaming).<\/p>\n I’ve got a question, for future reference. If I were to use my own game library, do I have to make its source visible or just make the binary available before hand? I realize you could cheat by stuffing an almost complete game into the binary beforehand(but the game code would show that you obviously cheated). I was thinking about using my own library, and then maintaining binary compatibility with it with my game(since it’s unfinished, but mostly usable and extendible). I also realize the code doesn’t need to be open sourced for it to be visible.<\/p>","time":"April 25th, 2013 8:39 pm","title":"I\u2019m in! First time."}
