I&#8217;ll have to keep it simple and minimize art and such because I&#8217;m terrible at it.<\/p>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>Tools I&#8217;ll be using:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>C\/SDL- Moving down to C because C is the 2nd most incredible language I&#8217;ve ever come across (nothing will take Python&#8217;s throne away, though). SDL: Tried and true.<\/li>\n <li>Pelle&#8217;s C- It was a pain getting it set up with SDL, but once I did, it was\u00a0<em>very<\/em> much well worth it! Pelle&#8217;s C is definitely the single greatest IDE I have ever come across. It&#8217;s impossibly simple yet at the same time impossibly powerful- coding is a breeze and the UI is really innovative.<\/li>\n <li>Sunvox- Very confusing at first but a little while ago I came to finally master it, and it&#8217;s proven to be an incredibly versatile synthesizing tool. Probably not recommended to try and learn it in the remaining hours until theme announcement, but if you ever get the chance I recommend it.<\/li>\n <li>GraphicsGale- I think I&#8217;d like to move on sometime in the future but as of yet I&#8217;ve never really found anything to top this. ASEprite is good, if very buggy and crashprone, and all the other options are either behind a paywall, made for Mac (eww), or just aren&#8217;t good.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n <p>Hopefully I can do this, not really known for coming up with simple ideas but I&#8217;ll try and make that more of a focus than the theme itself this time, we&#8217;ll see where that goes.<\/p>","time":"August 23rd, 2013 1:03 pm","title":"I\u2019m in!"}
