I’ll try to attend this upcoming Ludum Dare, which will be my 5th time I believe.
\n This time I’m going to spice things up a little how ever and I am going to use tools unfamiliar to me.
\n I’ve been meaning to learn out Lua (only done some really small-scale embedded work with it) for a while and decided that LD would be perfect opportunity for this.<\/p>\n

As for the framework I’m going with L\u00f6ve (never used it before) as it seems suitable for LD type of development (==quick and dirty :P).
\n I’ll try to make a small game this weekend as a warmup to at least have some feel to the language\/framework.<\/p>\n

The so-called “art” will be handled with GIMP as usual and music will be created with TuxGuitar if I have time for it.<\/p>\n

If Lua turns out a disaster I will probably revert back to the warmth and safety of C++, but hopefully I won’t have to.<\/p>\n

Good luck everyone and lets have a blast!<\/p>\n \n
