Not much has changed from last time<\/a>\u00a0– same four people, same tools and language.<\/p>\n

Some things are changing though. I intend to use LWJGL for access to OpenAL for audio – I probably won’t use any other LWJGL functionality though, since I’m quite happy doing 2D games without OpenGL being involved. The reason for this change is that I want some more control over the audio than TinySound gave me. I’d like to be able to, for example, change the frequency of sounds.<\/p>\n

I’m hoping to ensure that I can run the game as an applet this time. Last time around, it ran, but paused after each level while downloading the new level, which was quite horrible. As such, I released it purely using webstart, since I didn’t have time to rewrite enough code to fix the problem. It’s relatively easy to factor in this time, since I’m aware of the problem.<\/p>\n

If whatever game we decide on lends itself to using a game controller, I’ll be using JInput to provide access to that.<\/p>","time":"August 24th, 2012 1:52 pm","title":"We\u2019re in!"}
