This’ll be my 6th time participating, though AP testing is coming up very quickly and I’ll have to restrict myself so that I have time to study. Hopefully not too much though! Of the two tests I’m taking, I’m all set on one and feeling pretty good about the other.

I’ll be using C++ and SDL, along with SDL_Image and SDL_Mixer. This will all be new for me; in the past I’ve used Python/Pygame or AS3/Flixel.

Tools I will be using:

DEVELOPMENT: All the good tools for the job

• Code::Blocks IDE
• MinGW compiler
• Bacon-flavored ocarina

ART: Either/or, depending on what I end up making

• Krita (for detailed graphics)
• GraphicsGale (for pixel art)

MUSIC: This is more of a list of what I *might* use, if I even get around to it

• Audacity
• SunVox (my favorite synth)
• sfxr (if I’m in a pinch- this time I’ve got SDL_Mixer working reliably)

I love doing LD, and this time I thought I’d celebrate by making a background. heh. (credit to Robert-Ralik on DeviantArt for the ragecharacter)

Forever Programming

EDIT: fixed the image (I hope)

EDIT2: well, meybe not. oh well, it’s perfectly fine if you download it, WP is just messing with me…
