Preparations for the Compo

Edit: Realized that it would be foolish to assume everyone can run a pygame program, and instead decided on C++

Strategy:

Going simple. Most likely a top-down shmup.

Hoping that flow wins, so I can go all pedantic with Flow Theory.

Going to go with my “normal” sleep schedule, which is very strange, but seems to work well for me. (Bed at 6-8 PM, up at 1-2 AM) (Still technically enough sleep)

Tech:

SDL, SDL_image, SDL_mixer, and… for love, honor, and glory…

C++ ๐Ÿ˜€

(Well, I’m actually tempted to do it in C :-P)

I’ll use SFXR for sound, I think. (Played with it, really like it :-D)

I’m not sure about graphics. Really depends on the theme.

Either GIMP, Inkscape, or procedural stuff using pygame.draw.

Food:

Overall — Lots of fiber. Helps me think clearly.

Snacks — Cereal bars, high-fiber ones. Also, fruit. Oranges, especially.

Meals — Oatmeal, rice, and salads

To Drink — Water, coffee, and a little bit of soda.
