Shiera and I will be participating in the Jam again.

We’ve spent today familiarizing ourselves with LibGDX, writing some basecode, and a small warmup game:

Simple warmup ‘game’ for the base code – press the win button to win a level – the order of the win and fail buttons are randomized though. Features massive particle effects, because particle effects are cool. Don’t mind the mushroom colored rocket, it just floats around without doing anything.

Here’s a desktop version of the warmup game for Windows/Linux/Mac, just download, right click and open with Java (preferably Sun Java, OpenJDK may or may not work).  You may need to mark the jar as being executable.

You can also download the warmup game to your android device by scanning the following QR code (Using e.g. barcode scanner or Google Goggles), or downloading the apk file directly.  Tested on a Motorola Droid 1 phone.

QR Code for the Android APK of the warmup game.

Libraries used:

• LibGDX
• Our basecode

Tools used:

• LibGDX Particle editor
• Gimp
• Sfxr
• Possibly Tiled if needed
• Whatever we’ll find for music

Good luck and have fun everyone!

Edit: Added link to desktop version of the warmup game.
