Realised I forgot to declare my engine and tools, so here they are!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been working on my own AS3 engine for quite a while now. It\u2019s pretty barebones, but it has some pretty nifty functions and classes that will hopefully save my lots of time this upcoming Ludum Dare. It\u2019s got particles, input handling, spritesheet handling, tweens and eases, some basic GUI stuff, sound effects, and a few other helpful bits and pieces.<\/p>\n

Hopefully the work I put into it will pay off this weekend!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s avaliable at\u00a0https:\/\/github.com\/gnatpat\/natpats-basic-as3-engine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And I was bored coming up to this Ludum Dare, so I made a tool to help with animation \u2013 and as per the LD rules, I\u2019m making it and the source available to download.<\/p>\n

Source:\u00a0http:\/\/natpat.net\/stuff\/AnimCreator.zip<\/a><\/p>\n

You can export stuff to the format needed to add animations to my spritesheet implementation, but apart from that you can preview animations which is pretty cool.<\/p>\n

Finally, come watch us stream at http:\/\/twitch.tv\/LiteralGames! It’s 2am here but we’re gunna do an hour of planning before bed!<\/p>","time":"August 22nd, 2014 6:05 pm","title":"Engine and Animation Creator + Watch us plan!"}
