First Ludum Dare!

Hey everyone, I’m in!

This is my first time and first attempt. I was going to use Visual C# Express with XNA 4.0, but after finding out that XNA will never be updated again, I fell it’s my time to swith to Java for good. I loved C#, but Java is mutliplatform and has a really similar syntax! Anyways, here’s what I’ll be using :

IDE/Language : Eclipse (Java)
Engine : Slick2D & LWJGL
Graphics : Paint.NET
Sound : SFXR
Music : My own guitar (might be something else depending on inspiration)

Also I’m gonna be streaming almost the entire thing (I’m planning on sleeping a little bit), so here’s the link : Twitch.tv/PixelNationStudios

this.participateIn(Events.ludumDare26);

Edit: Just wanted to point out that Java is fairly new for me and I learned how to use Slick2D on thursday! Not going to be easy doh…

Exactly the same as me. XNA fan until its ‘death’ prompted me to look for alternatives. After making Pong in Slick2D, I’d say it’s just as easy if not easier. I do like Visual Studio though…

@alphonsus I’ll be using JarSplice as well, but i’ll try to make it an applet…

@Slossius I know that feel <(-.-<)… RIP vs studio! All hail eclipse!!
