I&#8217;ve been watching from the sidelines for a little while, and I can&#8217;t any longer. I must participate! I am hereby officially declaring my intent to participate in the LD21 competition.<\/p>\n <p>It looks like I need to declare upfront my personal code &#8220;libraries.&#8221; Calling them libraries seems a bit\u00a0presumptuous, actually. It&#8217;s a few little pieces of code (rendering functions, top-level skeleton functions, a couple of pixel manipulation functions, mostly stuff to speed up use of SDL, all in C++), but I suppose all together I can call them the cheese_framework library. That name isn&#8217;t taken, I hope. Google actually found something (on Google Code), but it looks like it was deleted. So, cheese_framework, then. Do I need to post this stuff on here or something? I totally can, but I would have to put it all together or something and stick it up. Let me know!<\/p>\n <p>Actually, <a title=\"Escape From The Master's Lair\" href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/escape-from-the-masters-lair\/\">here<\/a>\u00a0is an open source roguelike I whipped up for the 7DRL 2011. You can totally see my masterwork in there. Anyway, still let me know if anyone wants to see more of it.<\/p>\n <p>If you&#8217;re still reading, my name is Kevin Wells, and I have a little indie game development company known as <a title=\"Cheese and Bacon Games\" href=\"http:\/\/cheeseandbacon.org\/\">Cheese and Bacon Games<\/a>. Maybe I should have led with that.<\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/ld-21\/\" rel=\"tag\">LD #21<\/a><\/p>","time":"August 12th, 2011 5:34 am","title":"Let\u2019s kick this pig!"}
