In that occasion I had a great team though, so it&#8217;ll be a challenge to adjust the scope from that to a one-man project. Feeling a little experimental I&#8217;ve decided to learn Love2D for this event, and I&#8217;ve already set up a git repo over at github, as well as a small development environment on the PC I&#8217;ll be working on. It&#8217;ll be my first time with Lua, but I&#8217;m a good learner and I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;ll be too much of \u00a0a setback.<\/p>\n <p>Some tools:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li><strong>Language<\/strong>: Lua<\/li>\n <li><strong>Engine<\/strong>: Love2D<\/li>\n <li><strong>IDE<\/strong>: Geany<\/li>\n <li><strong>Graphics<\/strong>: Inkscape, The GIMP<\/li>\n <li><strong>Sound<\/strong>: I have the least experience in this area, so I&#8217;ll probably give sfxr a go if I have any time to spare.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>Anyway, really looking forward to getting started \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n <p>Greetings from Costa Rica, and good luck to you all!<\/p>","time":"April 20th, 2012 11:07 am","title":"First Ludum Dare; all systems go!"}
