Right now, I have all of these to make my life easier:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>TotalSpaces \u2013 creates a grid of 3 x 3 desktops, 3rd party programme for this since OS X doesn&#8217;t allow it anymore<\/li>\n <li>TotalTerminal \u2013 a terminal &#8216;visor&#8217; that&#8217;s accessible from anywhere, anytime using a single keystroke<\/li>\n <li>autobuild \u2013 a utility that I wrote that captures system-wide keystrokes and listens for a particular one (fn-a or fn-r) to build and run my code in the background; automatically activates the terminal and shows the correct tab if there&#8217;s an error; plays sound cues depending on the build result<\/li>\n <li>TextMate \u2013 <em>almost<\/em> perfect for my coding needs<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>Whenever I update assets in-game, the process is currently:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Make the changes in Photoshop<\/li>\n <li>Save, Save as \u2026 select PNG, select correct filename<\/li>\n <li>Recompile game<\/li>\n <li>Rerun game<\/li>\n <li>Repeat if not satisfied<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>This is kinda slow \u2026 I&#8217;m considering writing a script that would\u00a0detect changes to Photoshop\u00a0.psd files and use ImageMagick to automatically create .png versions. And then, an Asset manager for my ever-expanding library (to be released, of course) which would update the assets in-game live? If I can make it in time.<\/p>\n <p>Hopefully this LD is interesting enough for all of us even without the ratings. Good luck!<\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/in\/\" rel=\"tag\">in<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/wallpaper\/\" rel=\"tag\">wallpaper<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/workflow\/\" rel=\"tag\">workflow<\/a><\/p>","time":"August 26th, 2016 3:16 pm","title":"London Dare!"}
