MiniLD #31 – Suddenly A Newbie

So I’m entering a LD compo for the very first time – Mini LD#31, ‘Fear’, hosted by my distinguished associate TheGrieve.  This should be fun.  And by ‘fun’, I mean ‘humbling and embarrassing’.

My entry will be browser-based, and built for the latest versions with WebGL + Canvas support.   I’ll be working with the following base code:

  • HTML5 Boilerplate – for a nice stable base to build the game hosting page on
  • Three.js – for WebGL rendering
  • Tween.js + requestAnimationFrame.js – for movement animation
  • jQuery – for the UI stuff
  • my own partial Javascript port of the Python libtcod library – for procedural map  generation and management
  • a HTML5 audio API wrapper of some description

I’ll also be busting out GiMP, FLStudio, and whatever else I need to get this going.  If I can get it going at all.

Happy developing, everyone!
