I will probably participate in the competition but I’m not entirely sure if I should use an already existing engine or write a new one.

I’ll most likely start something from scratch, though.

For development I use:

• Programming language: Java
• Extensions: LWJGL & Slick2D
• Enviroment: Eclipse
• Art: Paint.NET
• Levels: TilED
• Music: Ableton Live
• Sound effects: SFXR and several other sources

Hoping to actually finish something this weekend. Good luck for everyone else!

By the way I’ll stream here: http://twitch.tv/patrikspengler

I realised that writing something from scratch again is taking me 9999 years. I’ll use a premade engine of mine instead.

Is that allowed to be published in the competition or I should publish it later to the jam? Engine has no levels, any content just the basic functions.

I am having some problems with vertical syncing in my game. I set Display.setVSyncEnabled(true); before the display creation, after it, but nothing really helps. Is there any other alternative to vertical syncing? It’s really annoying and barely playable with this amount of disruption.

EDIT: This apparently only happens with low grade graphics cards.

Just chilling with Mr. Tree.
