I normally use LOVE, but  think I’m going to switch it up and use Java, Slick, and TilED.  Should be interesting- I haven’t used Java in 3 years or so.  But I’m hoping to make something that people can just run in their browsers instead of downloading untold megs of LOVEly .dlls.

I’m glad I checked these things out beforehand with a wee warmup, because TilED QT 0.4.1 doesn’t notice my mouse clicks if the application already has focus! So I’m going to use the eye-burning Java version of TilED.

If it turns out that this change of coding scenery is killing my productivity, I may fall back on LOVE.  I would in that case also use LUPUS, a lua library which anyone is free to download and use.  (If you do use it, beware the Grid class; it’s not passing all its unit tests and I’m not sure why.)

Behold the almighty desk!
