I am another new guy. But I&#8217;ve been meaning to enter a one of these for a while if that counts? No? Ah well.<\/p>\n <p>So, my chosen poison for the competition is C++ with SFML, boost and box2D (if applicable) all through the power of Visual Studio 2010. I&#8217;d prefer another language if I&#8217;m honest, but I&#8217;m not familiar with them enough to justify diving head first into all the teething troubles when I have such a sort deadline. I&#8217;ll be showing off my amazing Photoshop art skills (a.k.a. quick doodles) and my incredable ability to press buttons in the ever popular sfxr. For music I&#8217;ll probably just see what I can throw together randomly at the end&#8230;<\/p>\n <p>There could very well be some boiler plate code stolen from my <a href=\"https:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/sunrainbowengine\/\">current in development framework<\/a>. Feel free to help yourself to it if you&#8217;re also crazy enough to be using C++, it&#8217;s open source for a reason.<\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;ve entered a few similar competitions before, so with any luck I won&#8217;t make the rookie mistake of aiming too high, or indeed too low.<br \/>\n Anywho, that was me. Good luck to all.<\/p>","time":"August 18th, 2010 6:37 pm","title":"Definately not another new guy."}
