So finally, I said I would give it a shot if I could find  software that helped with the coding side (I am not a programmer and  have only rudimentary knowledge of HTML). I think he thinks this is a  challenge and he realized if I was going to try that he had to man up  and do it as well. Mostly, though I&#8217;m doing this to give him motivation.  Just as he supported my attempts to write a novel in 30 days (I was  successful) I want to support his attempts to write a game in 2 days.  Additionally, this will motivate anyone who thinks they can&#8217;t. Because  really, if someone with no programming experience can pull something  together, you talented folk have no excuses. Here is my declaration of  what I will be using.<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Game Maker 8.0 Lite (game will definitely be  2d)<\/li>\n <li>Graphics: Game Maker Graphics editor and maybe Photoshop<\/li>\n <li>Music: Musgai<\/li>\n <li>Sound: sfxr<\/li>\n <li>Libraries: None<\/li>\n <li>Other Tools: Oxygen 8 Midi Controller (to really make some good music), lots of blueberry tea, pandora for music (probably final fantasy stuff) and lots of cookies.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>Happy Game Developing!<\/p>","time":"December 14th, 2010 7:29 pm","title":"LD and Support"}
