Hey there, folks.<\/p>\n

Over the past couple of days, I’ve been working on a boilerplate library.<\/p>\n

I love FlashPunk, but it doesn’t do everything that I need. I need skeletal animation and more complex collision detection and response than FlashPunk can provide.<\/p>\n

Therefore, I’ve taken it upon myself to write a boilerplate library of my own.<\/p>\n

It will have skeletal animation, a proper entity hierarchy (FlashPunk has none, Flixel’s is purely organization), separating axis collision response (In addition to hitbox collisions, of course), a gui system, and other things that I will add as I need them.<\/p>\n

I’m not 100% sure of the name for the library, but I’m leaning toward “SpudTech” because, well, it sounds funny and I like that in a library name.<\/p>\n

That being said, you folks can expect me to use my library in further LD efforts. Probably including this month’s Mini-LD.<\/p>\n

Peace, love, and buckets of cheese,<\/p>\n
