Here is my toolbox!
OK, I seem to have forgotten to talk about my toolbox in the last post. Shame!
This time I will be using:
- Python with PyGame: PyGame is a great library and I am glad I managed to learn it before Ludum Dare. I don’t want it to go like last time!
- Autotracker for music: It is great! It is a program that generates music for you. Love it!
- (Maybe) Py2exe for compiling: it compiles Python programs into an EXE
- PhotoFilter for graphics: This is a lesser known program, but I find it really easy to use and it is what I will be using for the graphics.
- Spotify/iTunes for playing music: Because it wouldn’t be the same without music!
- Twitter for progress updates: I will also post major progress updates here, but most will go on my personal Twitter account (@pta2002)
- Git version control: Git is great!
- Ubuntu as my OS of choice: Ubuntu is great for development! Such an ease to use… I will be recording GIFs on Windows though.
- ScreenToGif for generating GIFs: It is the best program I ever saw to do it. I love it!
- My laptop as my computer of choice: I have all the development tools on it, and it is pretty decent for the job.
- (Maybe) Tiled for map editing: I like Tiled. It does its job pretty well.
- All other tools I forgot to do everything else I forgot to mention!
Good luck to all of you! I will be on IRC if you want to talk to me ๐
