So, with all the hubris and overconfidence of a LD second-timer, I’ve made no firm plans for my participation in this compo. But I will produce something<\/em><\/strong>. <\/em><\/strong>I’m waiting for the theme to direct me.<\/p>\n

I do have three (or four) very general ideas of what I might use:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pygame + Rabbyt (the old fallback, if I decide to avoid … option 2 or 3)<\/li>\n
  2. Processing.js<\/a> … but it could run too slowly if I do anything too complicated<\/li>\n
  3. Some type of browser based scene\/image based puzzle\/adventure game (think Myst), where the images are served up online, via Google App Engine or Turbogears. Click points encoded using a CSS hotspot grid. Maybe multiple players could interact somehow too.<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

    Everything will be coded on Ubuntu Linux, with Gimp, Inkscape for graphics, sfxr and whatever audio tracker\/softsynth takes my fancy (maybe LMMS, since I had a fairly good experience with that last time).<\/p>\n

    Also plan to use the Python debugger Winpdb<\/a> for the first time on a project. I feel like it will really help, but we will see …..<\/p>","time":"August 8th, 2008 4:18 pm","title":"I will dare to ludum"}
