Hey.<\/p>\n
I’ll try and find the time for another round this weekend. It’s been a while since my last weeping attempts at coherent experiences, but I’m hoping I can take a break from my studies over the weekend for some relaxing, stressful game jamming.<\/p>\n
Contrary to earlier, I’ll not be going Flashpunk this time around (although it’s still an excellent choice for quick-n-dirties, I think), reason being that I haven’t been able to set up a sane dev environment on my all-Linux system. FDT and Flex work fine, but a few of Flashpunk’s Object trickery is bugging the syntax checker and refusing to build perfectly healthy code.<\/p>\n
Instead, I’ll try out Allegro 5, mixing in Box2D if the theme matches the unfortunately-early ideas banging around my head. I had an early C++ derivative of Flashpunk running through SFML and SDL1.2, but it’s simply too basic for proper use.<\/p>\n
Graphics start from Pinto (a Paint.NET wannabe for Linux) for simple painting, possibly working within regions of procedural generation for simplicity.<\/p>\n
Sound and music will be minimalist this time (no Raymond Chandler monologues, I promise!) – at best, a few short vocal queues and perhaps some random piano chords.<\/p>","time":"April 25th, 2013 12:57 am","title":"In, Likely."}
