I’m in

This will be my third Ludum Dare, my second solo game jam, and the first non-December LD I’ve done.

I’ve got a few things I’d like to try this time, in terms of game mechanics. Hopefully the theme will be conducive to at least one of those things!

Tools and resources I’ll be using:

  • vim, for coding
  • HTML5 + JS, in Chrome
  • sfxr, for sound effects
  • minimalist custom “engine”, plus other code I scrounge from existing projects (such as the Point and Rectangle classes from my Kiwijam15 entry)
  • Probably vim, for art. Hopefully it will still be pretty.
  • can I use vim for music? might skip music.

It seems like good form to publish the minimalist code template I’m starting with. Here you go, silly acronym and all: https://github.com/ethankaminski/macej
