This will be my first LD, looking forward to it. I want to get coding already.<\/p>\n

I’m planning to build a very cut down sprite engine using C++ and OpenGL\/GLUT. The engine I have already is a bit heavyweight for that sort of stuff, so I’ll start from scratch but aim for the same style and structure.<\/p>\n

Now time to stop being a big lurker and head into IRC.<\/p>\n

Tools I’ll be using:<\/p>\n

Programming:<\/strong>
\n vim for editing
\n git for version control
\n XCode (C++) as a build system and compiler
\n Visual C++ 2008 for the Windows port
\n OpenGL, GLUT and OpenAL as libraries<\/p>\n

Graphics:<\/strong>
\n Photoshop CS for generating content
\n make + ImageMagick for batch conversion to a more useful format<\/p>\n

Audio:<\/strong> (if there is time)
\n Reason 3 for music
\n sfxr for sound effects<\/p>\n

Community:<\/strong>
\n I’m planning to record a timelapse video over the weekend using this technique<\/a>.
\n Fingers crossed I’ll end up with a nice and reusable sprite engine at the end of it. The plan is to continue developing it for my own projects, future LDs and keep the latest source available.<\/p>","time":"August 20th, 2010 1:17 pm","title":"Moop incoming\u2026"}
