So anyway, yes, I&#8217;m in. This will be my second Ludum Dare. <a title=\"Tiny World of Pixels\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-23\/?action=preview&amp;uid=11619\" target=\"_blank\">My first attempt<\/a> started overambitiously and ended underwhelmingly. I learned my lessons though:-<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Do not get gloriously drunk on the Friday. Saturday will hate you for it.<\/li>\n <li>Do not spend a third of your time writing a library to deal with the loading, sorting and displaying of sprites. You will feel like an idiot.<\/li>\n <li>Expect and work with these stages of the creative process: 1) Excitement, 2) Bewilderment, 3) Panic, 4) Meltdown, and 5) Grim acceptance of failure.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>I&#8217;ll be using <a title=\"GLBasic\" href=\"http:\/\/www.glbasic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">GLB<\/a> as the IDE and any or all of the following: Audacity, Inkscape, Photoshop, TexturePacker, Notepad++, FL Studio and OpenMPT. I&#8217;ll also be using a small collection of code that I&#8217;ve previously released for general use<del> and will be declared prior to starting<\/del>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.glbasic.com\/forum\/index.php?topic=8492.0\" target=\"_blank\">Here is the code<\/a>.<\/p>\n <p>My aim is for the game I produce to be touchscreen friendly and work on multiple desktops and mobile devices.<\/p>\n <p>OK, now entering the first of those phases I mentioned: Excitement!<\/p>","time":"August 24th, 2012 1:01 pm","title":"I\u2019m in"}
