So this is going to be my first Ludum Dare and I’m super excited. I’ve taken part in a few other game jams before but they were much smaller, this is much more exciting!

Anyway, here’s what I’m going to be using to create my game:

• IDE: Eclipse
• Language: Java
• Framework: LibGDX
• Base code: https://github.com/JakeHorsfield/libLD
• Graphics: GIMP (maybe Pinta too)
• Sound: SFXR for sound effects, I don’t know what I’ll use for music
• Environment: Linux Mint 15

Good luck to everyone else who’s taking part!

So the warm-up weekend has started! This weekend I’m creating a little tile based game to try a few things I usually have trouble with, and also try a few things I’ve never done before.

Here’s what I’m going to be practicing:

• Collision Detection
• Keeping code clean and organized!

Here’s what I’m going to try which I’ve never done before:

• Pathfinding
• NPC’s – both passive and agressive.

And here’s the tools I’m using (these are the same as what I will be using for the compo):

• Language: Java
• Framework: LibGDX
• IDE: Eclipse
• Graphics: GIMP
• Sound: SFXR
• Music: Autotracker-c
• Food: Whatever I feel like
• Drink: Water and energy drinks.

Here’s the base code I’ll probably be using for the compo.

Feel free to do whatever you want with it 😀
