Next weekend, I’m excited to join my first Ludum Dare! \u00a0I’ve seen LD before, but had not noticed its schedule line up with mine. \u00a0In Amsterdam, the school where I host design workshops ends for the holiday that Friday, and so when the 48-hour competition kicks off (at local Amsterdam time of 03:00 AM!) I’ll be sound asleep. \u00a0But by morning I’m looking forward to it!<\/p>\n
In the rules, I read that it is okay to import a game library and publicly available base code is okay. \u00a0I don’t know what the theme is yet, but if it sparks an concept suitable for pixel graphics in Flash, then I’ll try Flixel 2.35 \u00a0(http:\/\/www.flixel.org). \u00a0 I have some experience drawing in Flash CS 4, so if animation becomes interesting, I am hoping to cache a SWF to a spritesheet, using the FlxMovieClip class proposed by Achmad Aulia Noorhakim. \u00a0 Discussion and example at: \u00a0\u00a0http:\/\/flixel.org\/forums\/index.php?topic=2425.0<\/a><\/p>\n Tools I expect to use: \u00a0Flixel with MovieClips, Flash CS4, sfxr, Audacity, DAME (level editor with Flixel exporter).<\/p>","time":"December 9th, 2010 12:48 pm","title":"Tools and libraries"}
