I guess when the theme comes out and the weekend gets closer, I will have a better idea of what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n
Count me in. Well, maybe. I still have to see what I\u2019m doing this weekend, and whether I feel up to it.<\/p>\n
Anyway, hello! My name is Andrew G. Crowell (Overkill in some places, @Bananattack<\/a> on Twitter). I want to try and use my game engine, Plum<\/a>, to make a 2D desktop game of some variety for Ludum Dare. It is intended for people to write games in Lua. There is a C++ engine doing the heavy lifting, but it tries to expose as much high-level control as possible. Additionally, the engine backend is entirely comprised of permissively licensed, cross-platform\u00a0open-source C++ components, making it ideal for game dev in theory \u2014 it\u2019s a work in progress, but it has a 2D hardware-accelerated graphics, audio, input, timing, the stuff you need. I have only built a Windows version so far, but the platform stuff is built atop cross-platform libraries and otherwise mostly-platform-independent code. So it should be portable without too many gripes in the future when it looks stable enough.\u00a0Documentation is also forthcoming.<\/p>\n I guess when the theme comes out and the weekend gets closer, I will have a better idea of what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n
