Okay, so like I said in my previosu post, I wanted to post a link to the “framework” that I’ll be using this weekend.\u00a0 So without further ado, I present: the Ghetto Game Engine<\/a>. This has just been my attempt to get a general purpose “engine” together, but since I haven’t exactly been winning to the fight in search of free time, this hasn’t progressed too terribly far.\u00a0 That said, I plan on using it this weekend, and I’ve posted the source for all who want to see and possibly attempt to use it this weekend.\u00a0 Warning: it’s very terse right now.<\/p>\n

Speaking of what I’ll be using this weekend, I figured while everyone else is doing it, I’ll post my own list of tools and tech!\u00a0 Everybody loves lists, right?<\/p>\n

TECH SIDE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Language:<\/strong> Python (version 2.6)
\n Libraries:<\/strong> Right now just pyglet 1.1.3, might look into pulling Rabbyt in as well
\n Platform:<\/strong> I’m working on my Macbook, but since it’s Python, I’m hoping to easily put it on Windows as well.\u00a0 I just need to figure out how to use py2exe and py2app
\n Version Control:<\/strong> Subversion.<\/p>\n

ARTSY SIDE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Graphic Software:<\/strong> Photoshop CS4 w\/ Wacom Intuos tablet (there is no WAY I’m going to try to draw things with a track pad or mouse)
\n Sound Software:<\/strong> I’ve got VMWare loaded on my Macbook for the sole purpose of running Sound Forge for mashing up sound effects.\u00a0 If need be, I can go out with my field recorder and take some samples, then contort the crap out of them in Sound Forge.\u00a0 That said, I might be wanting to check out this sfxr program people keep talking about.
\n Music Software<\/strong>: If I’m actually lucky to get to a point where I can try and make some music, I think I’m just going to hook up a Casio keyboard the recorder and mash something cheesy out.\u00a0 I have a copy of Cubase from when I took digital music classes back in college that I can use for sequencing, but I want to make sure I have some gameplay done before worrying about the music (and sound for that matter).<\/p>\n

Yeah, aside from all that, I really got nothing.\u00a0 Looking forward to the competition, and best of luck to all that do participate!<\/p>","time":"August 28th, 2009 7:30 am","title":"Gearing up (part 2)"}
