Well that might be a little dramatic, but we stand on the edge of one<br \/>\n of the most stressful, grueling weekends of the year.<\/p>\n <p>This will be my fourth ludumdare which means I should know what I am doing.<br \/>\n Experience shows how little experience I actually have, attempt three was my<br \/>\n first failure. Hopefully that I can take the lessons from LD25 and manage to<br \/>\n finish this time.<\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;m working on an engine in C++ with the intention to embed lua as a<br \/>\n scripting language. Before I can do that I need to learn some lua, hence<br \/>\n LD26 will be my first attempt at making a game in lua.<\/p>\n <p>Tools for this weekend.<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li><a href=\"http:\/\/love2d.org\">L\u00f6ve<\/a><\/li>\n <li><a href=\"audacity.sourceforge.net\">Audacity<\/a> or another audio tool<\/li>\n <li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.drpetter.se\/project_sfxr.html\">sfxr<\/a> (maybe a variant)<\/li>\n <li>Pen and paper<\/li>\n <li>MacBook Pro and my RAT3 Mouse<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>I also have a couple of shaders that and some rendering code written in lua,<br \/>\n which is <a href=\"https:\/\/gist.github.com\/adventureloop\/5462669\">here<\/a>. The shaders<br \/>\n create a slight blur effect, fish eye and barrel distortions.<\/p>\n <p>Most of the heavy lifting has been done for me. All I have to do now is<br \/>\n come up with a reasonable idea and follow through on an implementation.<br \/>\n Good luck fellow adventurers, this weekend will be a long slog up hill. The<br \/>\n pay out will me much greater than the small amount of time and loss of sleep<br \/>\n this weekend will take.<\/p>\n <p>This post is also on my <a href=\"http:\/\/adventurist.me\/2013-3-I'm-in-.html\">blog<\/a><a> with some images.<\/a><\/p>","time":"April 25th, 2013 2:03 pm","title":"I\u2019m in"}
