Hi everyone,<\/p>\n

I\u2019m Wan, and I took my week-end to finally take part to this awesome event \":)\" Some might know me from the Minecraft community as Jimeo Wan, the guy behind a mod called Inventory Tweaks<\/a> ; I also won the Java4K<\/a> competition this year (look for \u201cThe Little Scientist<\/em>\u201c). Now this is the first time I get to make a game by myself within a limited time, so I\u2019m not very confident about all this \u2013 but I\u2019m pretty sure this will be loads of fun, and I guess that\u2019s what matters \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll probably use JavaScript<\/strong> and the CraftyJS<\/a><\/strong> framework for my entry, since it feels quite fast and comfortable to code with. Depending on the game idea I\u2019ll have, I might turn instead to something more powerful, like a Java applet. We\u2019ll see what the new theme has to offer!<\/p>\n

Other tools I\u2019ll probably use: Photoshop, Reason, Notepad++<\/strong><\/p>\n

++<\/p>\n

EDIT:<\/strong> I just set up a repository<\/a> with the existing code I intend to use during the event. It might be useful to anyone who plans to use CraftyJS actually. Just a few libraries + some custom (barely) reusable stuff<\/a> I made from previous small projects.<\/em><\/p>\n
