I&#8217;ve been meaning to enter LD for ages but stuff keeps cropping up and I miss the dates. I&#8217;m not going to wait yet another 4 months, and I go off to college Monday, so what better way to kick off adulthood than with a weekend of coding? =D<\/p>\n <p>So here&#8217;s what I intend to use folks:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Gamemaker &#8211; <em>I haven&#8217;t finished learning Flixel yet, and I&#8217;m too lazy to code in C++.<\/em><\/li>\n <li>SFXR<\/li>\n <li>FLStudio<\/li>\n <li>Crazy Awesome Maths<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>So yea, we shall see how this goes. I&#8217;m not a terribly great pixel artist, so I&#8217;ll will most likely end up having to draw everything with code. It&#8217;ll be some good practice as I haven&#8217;t done procedural stuff in a while, and maybe I&#8217;ll finally learn to stop tweaking everything and just make content. If all else fails, I&#8217;ll whip up something weird and crazy in a couple hours like I used to do for IRC jams.<\/p>\n <p>Ummm, so introduction I guess? I&#8217;ve been coding on and off for the past 4-5 years, started in Gamemaker, moved up to C++ and recently learned Java, and been making small games since I started to learn code. (Although they are mostly compiled scraps of games. Only 2 true releases. =P)<\/p>\n <p>Well, Good luck to everyone else involved. Looking forward to seeing what other great stuff you guys will pump out! ^_^<\/p>\n <p>(As a quick question, are we allowed to use the extensions built into GM? It&#8217;s essentially just a simpler way to interface with a DLL, but some people might feel that is too much code written before the compo. Just in case I need to use a mp3 or physics extension to run a DLL&#8230; )<\/p>","time":"August 19th, 2010 6:20 pm","title":"Yay First LD"}
