In the last ‘I’m In’ post I made, I said that I would be using CraftyJS or the CreateJS suite. I tried to make a warmup game with Crafty, but I found it too difficult for it to work with for my workflow (Crafty only seems to scale DOM elements correctly, and not Canvas elements).

Another HTML5 library caught my eye, though, by reading others’ ‘I’m in’ posts,  melonJS. I’ve had a look through the documentation, and worked through the tutorial over the last couple of days, and it seems to be better suited to someone weaning their way off AS3/Flixel/FlashPunk (<– I’ve got nothing against these awesome Flash libs, or Flash in general, I’m just curious about HTML5 tech)

Tools I’m using (pretty much finalized):

• IDE: NetBeans 7.3
• Language: JavaScript
• Libraries: melonJS
• Sound: sfxr, Audacity
• Graphics: Paint.NET
• Music: CGMusic (most probably, depends on theme)

Here’s a rather crappy workspace pic (taken with a potato):

Best of luck, fellow Darers!
