This will be my 2.5th Ludum Dare. The first one I wasn’t good enaugh to programm anything usefull, so I didn’t submit(half one), and last LD I wanted to participate, but couldn’t long enaugh. Just imagine, there were people wanting to meet me in real life. Familiy, Friends Birthday etc. Just imagine: human contact D: yuk!\u00a0 This time I have held the LD weekend free, so I’ll participate.<\/p>\n
Now to the business part of things:<\/p>\n
-I will train by writing the tools I want’t to use. Hopefully the extra practice will help me, but it will at least refresh my memory of the librarys. I’m trying to make a small buttons library for pygame (Python SDL Binding) and\/or pyglet (Python OpenGL port +\u00a0 other fancy stuff) and use it to make a simple tile editor and a tiny tool to synthesize some music. I know pygame way better, but you can only rotate sprites in pyglet -_-<\/p>\n
-I will try to make a warmup game, but only if I finish those tools first<\/p>\n
-An advice to myself and to everyone else: Don’t write complicated code because you think it’s clever and short, then end up debugging and ‘why u no work!!’ it\u00a0 for longer than the simpler, longer code would have taken. Basicly sums up my entire last Ludum Dare<\/p>\n
-Tools and Stuff:<\/p>\n
-CPython 3.2<\/p>\n
-Eclipse + pydev as IDE<\/p>\n
-paint.net for graphics<\/p>\n
-pygame,pyglet and the standart library<\/p>\n
-possibly my own tools<\/p>\n
Well that’s it, wish you all a nice LD, bye<\/p>","time":"December 7th, 2012 12:06 pm","title":"Mandatory \u201d I\u2019m in! \u201d Post (Again)"}
