Here is what I will be using as a base. It is my LD15 entry, stripped down to basic:

– XCode / C++ / Mac OS X (should port back to windows easily)

– SDL Graphics

– Sound

– SDL Image -> OpenGL texture loading

– Keyboard / Gamepad input

– Texture / Sprite drawing

– A 16x16px font

– A game loop

I think I will do the silly thing and find a way to adapt my idea (mining / digging / exploring / collecting game) to the theme. Seems to fit well enough!

Good chance to get hacking again. It’s been toooo loooooongggg.
