Why? In all previous LD\u2019s I made a game using Flash. I wrote code in FlashDevelop in Windows 7 and used Paint.NET, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Flash etc. or graphics.<\/p>\n<p>But now I don\u2019t use Windows anymore. I switched to <strong>Linux Mint<\/strong> and I am very VERY happy with it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter\" height=\"179\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.linuxmint-nl.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/800px-Linux_Mint_Official_Logo.svg_.png\" width=\"560\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Why I dropped windows? Well.. I was pretty much happy with Windows 7 for about last 4 years. But soon it\u2019s going to loose support.. Now you even can\u2019t buy it from microsoft website. Now MS forces Windows 8 which is complete disaster for me. I tried to use it several times and I came to conclusion that I just can\u2019t. I feel too frustrated about user experience in it. I can\u2019t understand why do they did that with Windows.. I thought OS should gain functionality and usability\u00a0eventually but they just did opposite.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway.<\/p>\n<p>I tried Fedora and Ubuntu before. I liked them both, but I couldn\u2019t manage to make them proper working tool for me.. But when I tried Linux Mint with\u00a0Cinnamon environment.. It just FITS. Like I used it all my life! It is SOOO handy! And beautiful. So minimalistic, smooth and simple! I feel all power of my computer with it.<\/p>\n<p>And.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to create my first <strong>HTML5<\/strong> game! I never tried it before. I use JavaScript in my work (I am a webdev) but not much (because I\u2019m more like backend) so it is real challenge for me. I wrote some code to start: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/miriti\/engine.js\/blob\/master\/engine.js\" target=\"_blank\">engine.js <\/a><\/strong>it will help but still I\u2019ll need to write a lot of code right in the middle of LD.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to write the code in <strong>Sublime Text 3<\/strong>. I always wanted to code game in it! I\u2019m going to use <strong>Chrome<\/strong> to test and debug my code. I\u2019m going to use <strong>GIMP<\/strong> for graphics and <strong>Audacity<\/strong> for audio editing.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s going to be really FUN!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/data\/posts\/2013\/12\/0f1c9a57fca5746dc141438a018bdc31.png\"><img alt=\"workspace\" class=\"size-large wp-image-305484 aligncenter\" height=\"311\" src=\"\/data\/posts\/2013\/12\/51610ee7193138d10d89e22a5747c62e.png\" width=\"550\"\/><\/a><\/p>","time":"December 13th, 2013 5:34 am","title":"I\u2019m In!","title_was_empty":false}
