I’m planning on taking part in LD this time, having skipped the last one because I didn’t like my idea much. I first thought I’d  use silverlight again, but still not many people have silverlight 5 and silverlight 4 has a lot of limits. My husband, Spridios on LD, clued me in to JSIL which can convert C# to javascript and has XNA support, so I spent some time converting my tile engine over to JSIL compatible C#. There are a bunch of inconsistencies and things not supported in JSIL’s implementation of C# but it works well for what’s implemented.

Language:

• C#/XNA
• Javascript

Libraries:

• My Simple Tile Engine and XNA Framework
• JSIL – To convert the C#/XNA code to javascript.

Tools:

• Photoshop for graphics
• Tiled possibly if I need complicated maps
• OpenMPT for music
• Audacity
