Tools<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regarding the tools I will use for Ludum Dare, this is what I will use:<\/p>\n

IDE\/Editor
\n I’ll probably try and use Xcode, but only if I get the lua syntax working inside it, otherwise I’ll stick to Text Wrangler.<\/p>\n

Graphics
\n For graphics I will most likely use Photoshop, because GiMP on Lion is really crap and my old favourite Pixen keeps crashing.<\/p>\n

Music\/Sound FX
\n I think like most people, I will be using sfxr for sound effects. And maybe at the end, I might make some music on LSDJ.<\/p>\n

Coding<\/strong><\/p>\n

And now this is what I’ll be using to program.<\/p>\n

Language
\n I’ll be using Love2D, which is a 2D game engine built on Lua , I haven’t used it for too long but It’s a really nice language and I think a nice simple game will be fun in it.<\/p>\n

Libraries
\n If I make a top-down tile based game (Very Very Likely) then I will be using AdvTiledLoader to parse maps from Tiled and to also help me with collisions.<\/p>\n

For the sound, there’s a nice little library called TESound which is nice to work with as it’s so clear.<\/p>\n

Other than them definite ones, I may use LoveUI and a few others I decide when I know what I’m doing.<\/p>","time":"December 15th, 2011 3:41 am","title":"What I\u2019m Using"}
