Have to start somewhere

LD19LD #19 - Discovery - 2010 18. Dec 2010 · 05:03 UTC · 29 hours after compo start by heuermh · 0

Not real impressed with the theme.

Oh well, a few minutes sketching out an idea before bed, and a first screenshot.

Looking forward to LD#20, though unfortunately I won’t have much time to spend this weekend.  I did prepare by making a game this week, as a going away present to a friend

Post-mortem for MiniLD #28

LD21MiniLD #28 02. Aug 2011 · 20:00 UTC · 16 days before compo start by heuermh · 5

Good intentions, poor planning.

With a pretty good idea in mind, I started on my entry after dinner Sunday evening.  I only got as far as the splash screen and sprite graphics before I ran into a Processing file IO bug and threw in the towel.

 

The idea was:  Air Conditioning.

Looking forward to LD#21

Looking forward to LD#21, though (as usual) I won’t have much time to spend this weekend, am going up north to the lake.

I was hoping Looping would win for the theme, now I’m leaning toward Immortality.

LD22

Writing code on release night

LD22LD #22 17. Dec 2011 · 08:02 UTC · 32 hours after compo start by heuermh · 0

Yep, the team is actually writing code to fix bugs on release night, now 14 hours in.

Good thing I have LD22 to distract me.  Screenshot of work in progress:

tr-3012 submitted!

LD23LD #23 22. Apr 2012 · 22:31 UTC · 2 days after compo start by heuermh · 0

Fourth’s times the charm!

I dropped enough functionality & design to actually complete and submit an entry.

tr-3012 postmortem

LD23LD #23 24. Apr 2012 · 15:19 UTC · 4 days after compo start by heuermh · 0

My entry tr-3012 is primarily a musical instrument, a drum machine with five independent looping triggers identified by robots.

This time around I did a lot better at removing code that wasn’t necessary and dropping ideas I wouldn’t have time for. I had all of these digitized robot voices recorded that my five year old loved but which didn’t really make the game any better.

One thing I regret not having time to implement was an introductory zoom from outer space into the playing grid, to make it look like the robots were isolated and adrift in space. That would have helped fit the theme better.

The tools I used:

Processing
Piccolo2D
Piccolo2D library for Processing
Beads library for Processing
Garage Band
Animoog
Audacity
TAL-Dub-2 audio unit plugin
GIMP

I plan to add a few new features to tr-3012 later, to make it more useful as a musical instrument

– allow user-provided samples
– external MIDI sync, or at least set a tempo in BPM internally
– send MIDI and OSC events in place of/in addition to playing samples

LD24

Looking forward to LD#24

I’m in and looking forward to LD#24.

My entry for LD#23 tr-3012 was primarily a musical instrument, a drum machine with five independent looping triggers identified by robots.

This time I think I’ll go for making a more traditional game.

Darwin Award post-compo version available

LD24LD #24 12. Sep 2012 · 20:03 UTC · 19 days after compo start by heuermh · 0

My LD24 48-hour entry Darwin Award was an infectious disease simulation with some population genetics thrown in.

A new post-compo version is available that allows the user to tweak all the various simulation parameters and adds some visual indicators to make the game play less opaque.

LD25

Looking forward to LD#25

LD25LD #25 07. Dec 2012 · 16:18 UTC · 6 days before compo start by heuermh · 0

I’m in and looking forward to LD#25.

I ran into a few problems with some library code during LD#24 and so have cleaned it up and published to github as new Processing libraries:

 

Executor library for Processing
https://github.com/heuermh/executor-processing

Scheduled executor service for Processing. Run tasks (reflective method calls to your PApplet) later, repeat tasks at intervals, and schedule tasks to happen after other scheduled tasks.

 

Animation library for Processing
https://github.com/heuermh/animation-processing

Sprite sheet and frame animation support in Processing.

Better late than never!

I am in and looking forward to LD#28. My last successful entry (LD#26) was thoroughly enjoyed by no one other than my six year old!
