While I will eventually be switching to HTML5, for the next few game jams I will be using ActionScript with my own library which is located at\u00a0http:\/\/blazinggames.com\/other\/openLibrary\/html5Libs.php . Right now the libraries are in a primitive state though are slowly becoming something useful. This library is built on top of the Starling library which is a public library.<\/p>\n
Tools will be the Creative Suite 6 suite (predominantly Flash pro and Flash Builder) as well as Audacity, cfxr, and Tiled. As it is currently snowing here, I don’t\u00a0foresee\u00a0anything coming up but unexpected things do happen. I am planning on listening to Geek News Central’s 24 hour podcast while I work on my game. In fact, even though it goes against my better judgement, I may try to do a 24 hour work session. That judgement call will be made based on the state of my game tomorrow evening (the challenge starts friday night for me).<\/p>\n
Plans are to find out what the theme is. Come up with a totally amazing idea. Realize that the idea is not practical in the timeline. Go with a more realistic but still too ambitious plan but fall in love with that plan so go for it anyway. Get the game functioning but run out of time to fine-tune the game.<\/p>\n
Good luck everyone.<\/p>","time":"December 14th, 2012 6:40 pm","title":"I\u2019m probably in."}
