I must only create\u00a0convex\u00a0polygons in the svg, otherwise the parse can&#8217;t handle it.<br \/>\n Also all paths must consist out of straight lines and must not contain curves.<br \/>\n The easiest way is to use triangles instead of complex polygons.<br \/>\n I&#8217;m thinking about adding\u00a0triangulation\u00a0either as Inkscape-plugin or to the parser later, but for now I&#8217;ll do it the hard way.<\/p>\n <p>In case I want to use <strong>Tilemaps<\/strong> I can just use cocos2d&#8217;s build-in Tiled parser, never did that before, but it sure will be fun to figure out how it works in the middle of the compo.<br \/>\n It was fun to learn the basics of cocos2d when I participated the last time.<\/p>\n <p>Input.js and PhysicsNode.js have mostly stayed the same since the last compo, just some small patches.<\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;m also not sure how I&#8217;ll do <strong>audio<\/strong>, maybe I&#8217;ll search a library during the compo, use plain html5 Audio or just make a game without audio like the last time.<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p><strong>Theme:<\/strong><\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;m kind of sad that my suggested themes &#8220;Nazis and Dinosaurs&#8221; and &#8220;<a title=\"Wikipedia with a list of persons from the 18th century\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/18th_century\" target=\"_blank\">Celebrities of the 18th century<\/a>&#8221; are not in the top 100, so I&#8217;ll just hope for kittens or something else that&#8217;s good.<\/p>\n <p><img class=\"wp-image-154743 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/sage-theme.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"611\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/sage-theme-206x300.png 206w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/sage-theme.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/p>\n <p>Also I should stop myself from remembering the theme list, because whenever I do that I just try to think of one game that combines all the themes.
