Flex is my platform of choice at the moment, and seems rather suitable.\u00a0 So I’ll be aiming for a Flex + Gimp + other random things approach.\u00a0 I’m going to use\u00a0 home rolled base code<\/a> that has support for blit-style rendering, simple animated sprites, truetype text, and the highly useful as3sfx<\/a>. It also has little bit of very lightweight generic game\/fe framework so I can hit the ground running on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n My work enviroment looks like this:<\/p>\n If you’re getting ‘corner-of-a-bedroom’ vibes from it, that’s because that’s exactly what it is. Not much exciting going on, two screens, well-used notepad acting as a mousemat, ever-present mug of tea, and some highly macho desktop wallpaper. So, basically it looks like I’m pretty much set, roll on Saturday, I’m ready!<\/p>\n Will probably be lurking around on irc (as JonathanW) for most of the duration, and I love to see other people’s creation process, so I’ll try and keep this well updated with what I’m up to and why. I’m actually really rather excited.<\/p>\n \n Tags: basecode<\/a>, deskphoto<\/a>, introduction<\/a><\/p>","time":"April 22nd, 2010 12:44 pm","title":"Woo"}![\"Jonathan's](\"http:\/\/jwhiting.nfshost.com\/ld\/17\/workspace.jpg\")
