Well, it all comes down to the theme. There were only 5 or so themes I immediately thought of an idea for, and based upon the theme I will choose a development tool. Generally, for a more complex idea I have, I’ll be going with GM or Unity, and if I can think of a simpler idea I’ll be using Pascal.<\/p>\n
Tools of choice:<\/p>\n
GM, Unity, Lazarus w\/ FPC 2.4.0, Andorra 2D, SDL+SDL_Mixer, GIMP, sfxr, musagi or syntrax or anvil studio<\/p>\n
We’ll see. Haven’t done a LD in quite a while, so I’m hoping I can create something interesting this time, no matter how simplistic it may appear.<\/p>\n
I’m too lazy to make motivational posters, take pictures of my food and workspace, so you’ll have to live with other people’s.<\/p>\n
As for a timelapse, this is a possibility. Ideally I would like to find a timelapse software with 30s-1m increments that saves in PNG, which I have yet to find. Most seem to be BMP\/JPG… BMP is horrible for space and JPG for loss of quality.<\/p>\n
For creating a movie from the images, someone recommended FFMPEG\/Mencoder, but I’m not sure if they can handle PNG files (assuming I can find a program to capture as PNG).<\/p>\n
Oh well. I’ve got a day to figure out that setup. I’ve got all of the other tools pretty much set up already.<\/p>","time":"April 22nd, 2010 9:21 pm","title":"Did someone say LD?"}
