Hopefully going for a second dare in a row. \u00a0The last one was my first attempt, and I had such a blast, so I’m really hoping I don’t have to work the weekend, but as it looks now I should be in good shape to compete.<\/p>\n

My tools of the trade haven’t really changed much from the last competition, and are as follows:<\/p>\n

Programming:<\/strong>\u00a0Visual Studio, C# using XNA 4.0<\/p>\n

Graphics:<\/strong>\u00a0NES style (likely) using Paint.NET<\/p>\n

Sound:<\/strong>\u00a0SFXR, FamiTracker, Audacity<\/p>\n

Misc:<\/strong>\u00a0Tiled, Chronolapse<\/p>\n

Base Code:<\/strong> Get it here<\/a>. \u00a0This is a slight update from the version I used in the previous competition. \u00a0The only major addition was very based tiled based collision map code to make it easier to do collision with the level. \u00a0This was something I struggled with in the previous competition so it made sense to solve the problem before it happened.<\/p>\n

Font:\u00a0<\/strong>For any text display, I will likely be using a free font \u00a0from\u00a0http:\/\/www.proggyfonts.com\/<\/a>, specifically Proggy Square. \u00a0I have converted it to a spritefont (PNG) for use in XNA (both full size, and something that fits in 8\u00d78). \u00a0The original font and converted formats can be downloaded\u00a0Here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Additionally, I put together a new warm up game since I hadn’t really done much in the lines of game programming since the last competition (other than the base code update). \u00a0It’s a sequel to the first warm up game I did, and is probably a little more than I should have one for a warm up game (spent about 7 hours on it). \u00a0If you have a moment, give it a try<\/a>. Feedback is always appreciated.<\/p>\n
