Edit: Realized that it would be foolish to assume everyone can run a pygame program, and instead decided on C++
\n <\/em><\/p>\n

Strategy:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Going simple. Most likely a top-down shmup.<\/p>\n

Hoping that flow wins, so I can go all pedantic with Flow Theory.<\/p>\n

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)<\/p>\n

Tech:<\/strong><\/p>\n

SDL, SDL_image, SDL_mixer, and… for love, honor, and glory…<\/p>\n

C++ \ud83d\ude00<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Well, I’m actually tempted to do it in C :-P)<\/p>\n

I’ll use SFXR for sound, I think. (Played with it, really like it :-D)<\/p>\n

I’m not sure about graphics. Really depends on the theme.<\/p>\n

Either GIMP, Inkscape, or procedural stuff using pygame.draw.<\/p>\n

Food:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overall — Lots of fiber. Helps me think clearly.<\/p>\n

Snacks — Cereal bars, high-fiber ones. Also, fruit. Oranges, especially.<\/p>\n

Meals — Oatmeal, rice, and salads<\/p>\n

To Drink — Water, coffee, and a little bit of soda.<\/p>\n
