I am really excited about making a game and seeing everyone else&#8217;s games. Here are the places where I&#8217;ll be working during the competition:<\/p>\n \n <style type='text\/css'>\n #gallery-1 {\n margin: auto;\n }\n #gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n float: left;\n margin-top: 10px;\n text-align: center;\n width: 33%;\n }\n #gallery-1 img {\n border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n }\n #gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n margin-left: 0;\n }\n \/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n <\/style>\n <div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-16500 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n <dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n <a href='http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/2010\/04\/23\/first-ld48\/inside-working-space\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/inside-working-space-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Inside working space (office)\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-16503\" \/><\/a>\n <\/dt>\n <dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-16503'>\n Inside working space (office)\n <\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n <dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n <a href='http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/2010\/04\/23\/first-ld48\/outside-working-space\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/outside-working-space-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Outside working space (balcony)\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-16507\" \/><\/a>\n <\/dt>\n <dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-16507'>\n Outside working space (balcony)\n <\/dd><\/dl>\n <br style='clear: both' \/>\n <\/div>\n \n <p>I am not sure what framework I am going to use to code the game. Either I&#8217;ll use Blender3d game engine, or I&#8217;ll use my immature HTML5 framework, <a href=\"http:\/\/mccormick.cx\/projects\/jsGameSoup\">jsGameSoup<\/a>. Part of me is tempted to whip out <a href=\"http:\/\/cc65.org\">cc65<\/a> and make a game for gameboy or atari or commodore64. I&#8217;m trying to tell that part of me to shut the hell up.<\/p>\n <p>The first thing I am going to do after the theme is announced is walk to the shops and buy some eggs, mushrooms, and toast (It&#8217;s morning time here in Western Australia). Then I am going to cook that stuff up and drink a massive coffee while my brain works out what to do with the theme. After that of course, I am going to start game making.<\/p>\n <p>I will try to take naps today and tommorrow, because <a href=\"http:\/\/technoccult.net\/archives\/2010\/04\/22\/naps-boost-memory-but-only-if-you-dream\/\">science says that naps rule<\/a>. The competition finishes 10am Monday morning for me, which is fine because there is a public holiday on Monday. I&#8217;ll probably try to wake up early on Monday and do the last porting\/release\/distribution stuff before competition end.<\/p>\n <p>Have fun!<\/p>","time":"April 23rd, 2010 6:51 pm","title":"First LD48"}
