Unlike the past Ludum Dares I intend to use Haxe rather than C. It\u2019ll be interesting to see how the results differ when I don\u2019t have to chase down rogue memory errors for several hours or implement basic data structures. All the other nice things Haxe has to offer will without a doubt come in handy, too, and targeting flash will hopefully make it easier for everyone else to play the game!<\/p>\n<p>The image above depicts the preloader, I may have gotten a little carried away with it during my struggle and eventual failure to get embedded fonts to work in a haxe preloader\u2026 I\u2019ll hold off posting the base code until closer to the compo in case I make any changes to it.<\/p>\n<p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/flash\/\" rel=\"tag\">flash<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/haxe\/\" rel=\"tag\">haXe<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/preloader\/\" rel=\"tag\">preloader<\/a><\/p>","time":"August 10th, 2013 3:26 pm","title":"Preparation and preloading","title_was_empty":false}
