So\u2019s my brother and friend. The plan is to live stream our desktops (or the primary screen of them at least)\u00a0, take a photo every 5 seconds for a time lapse, and record the information we place on out whiteboards.\u00a0And here\u2019s where I\u2019m insane, I\u2019m coding in a language I only decided to start learning today: Java. In about half an hour I set up a development environment, scripts to compile and run and a base program to do my logic loop (which I won\u2019t be using come this weekend).<br\/>\nMy set up is as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Intel Core i7 950<\/li>\n<li>10GB DDR3 RAM<\/li>\n<li>2 x 22\u2033 1080p LED Monitors<\/li>\n<li>1 x 19\u2033 1440\u00d7900 LCD Screen in Portrait.<\/li>\n<li>Windows 7 Ultimate x64<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And here\u2019s a pretty picture of it all.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Home Desk Space\" class=\"size-full wp-image-82826 alignnone\" height=\"432\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/homedesk.jpg\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/homedesk-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/homedesk-550x412.jpg 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/homedesk.jpg 960w\" width=\"576\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Languages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Java (Main Client)<\/li>\n<li>PHP (High Scores or anything web based I want to\u00a0implement)<\/li>\n<li>Game Maker (Fall back if Java ends up being insanely hard)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Programs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Paint.Net (Pixel Art and Touch Ups)<\/li>\n<li>Fireworks\/Photoshop (Vectorising Drawn Art)<\/li>\n<li>Notepad ++ (Programming)<\/li>\n<li>Open Office (Documentation)<\/li>\n<li>Game Maker (Fall Back Programming)<\/li>\n<li>VirtuaWin (Desktop Management, 3 Screens isn\u2019t enough)<\/li>\n<li>pixie (Colour\u00a0Selection)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Plan is to use mainly black and white, and maybe a red or two for colours. \u00a0I\u2019m going to be drawing and scanning my menu systems in, and then vectorising them. As for game ideas, I have a few, some that I won\u2019t be able to do easily due to the lack of knowledge of Java, and some that would look epic and take virtually no time. Worst comes to worst I\u2019ll make a text based adventure game and make a single nice piece of art for it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>~Mitch<\/p>\n<p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/deskphoto\/\" rel=\"tag\">deskphoto<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/hybrid\/\" rel=\"tag\">hybrid<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/insane\/\" rel=\"tag\">Insane<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/java\/\" rel=\"tag\">java<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/ninja\/\" rel=\"tag\">ninja<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/php\/\" rel=\"tag\">php<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/windows\/\" rel=\"tag\">Windows<\/a><\/p>","time":"December 14th, 2011 1:47 am","title":"Insane Idea","title_was_empty":false}
