It&#8217;s my first time doing Ludum Dare and it&#8217;ll be interesting to see just how much gameplay I can cram into a piece of code within the allotted time &#8211; if any.<\/p>\n <p>The game will be Flash-based. I would have considered Flashpunk but I don&#8217;t have enough experience with the framework just yet.\u00a0Instead I&#8217;ll be using a custom-fitted version of Flixel which I&#8217;ve used with some hibernating projects lying around Github (https:\/\/github.com\/tellus). While none of them will likely be a basis for the game (actually, I intend on it not to), I&#8217;ll most likely draw on a few supporting routines and procedures from the modified Flixel and my support lib <em>tellusLibsAs<\/em>. As should be obvious by now, all of the code is freely available from Github. Flashdevelop will be the IDE of choice (I&#8217;ve fallen in love with that piece of software, delicious) as well as Paint.NET for graphical purposes (I&#8217;m spartan&#8230; very spartan&#8230; basically Spartacus-spartan) and if&#8230; when&#8230; eventually&#8230; sound may be a necessary <del>evil<\/del> element of the game I think I&#8217;ll fall back to something quirky through Audacity. Open-source and freeware throughout.<\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;m rooting for a few particularly interesting themes myself (one cannot help but visualise possible ideas already) but let&#8217;s see where things head.<\/p>\n <p>Good luck to all and cheers for a great weekend!<\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/2d\/\" rel=\"tag\">2D<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/as3\/\" rel=\"tag\">as3<\/a><\/p>","time":"April 29th, 2011 2:47 pm","title":"\u201cI\u2019m in!\u2026 right?\u201d"}
