Due to this fact, I will be using LOVE2D, the same engine I started with 2 years ago. I\u2019ve spent the last day or so putting together an engine using some third party libraries and a basic gamestate. I\u2019ve attached it below.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve added quite a bit, including parts of the <a href=\"http:\/\/vrld.github.com\/hump\">hump<\/a> library, <a href=\"https:\/\/love2d.org\/wiki\/L%C3%B6ve_Frames\">Love Frames<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/love2d.org\/wiki\/TLfres\">TLfres<\/a>, and of course, the <a href=\"https:\/\/love2d.org\/wiki\/AnAL\">AnAl library<\/a>.<br\/>\nThe one thing I would like to do tomorrow before the jam starts is create some basic assets for the game. Art is usually the element that slows me down the most, so if I can get some basic particle emitters, sprite sheets and other elements out of the way now, it would really help me put on the polish during the 48. Since this is my first solo adventure since 2010, I also plan on doing a stream of my work, most likely using Ustream or another like-product.<\/p>\n<p>Engine-\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/16544039\/BaseEngine.zip\" title=\"My framework\">http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/16544039\/BaseEngine.zip<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and the themes I want the most?<br\/>\nTunnels or Colony.<\/p>","time":"August 24th, 2012 3:23 am","title":"Using LOVE2d for LD","title_was_empty":false}
