LD24

I’m In!

I’m getting ready for my first Ludum Dare. Should be lots of fun!

In preperation I’ve created a simple little timer program to run in the background once the competition begins. All it does is display the current date and the elapsed time since starting the program. Feel free to download and use it from my website here if you like: http://www.phatrobit.com/downloads/projects/Timer.zip

Things I’ll be using:

  • Language: Python 2.7
  • Libraries: Pygame 1.9
  • IDE: Visual Studio Shell with PyTools
  • Graphics: Adobe Photoshop CS4
  • Audio: sfxr (Probably won’t get around to music, but if I do I’ll most likely use LSDJ)
  • Timelapse: Chronolapse
  • Misc: Tiled, My timer I created (linked above)

Looking forward to creating and seeing some great games!

Thanks for the reminder on Chronolapse. I haven’t gotten around to using it yet, but I think this jam is a great place to start.

Oh Hi!

I’ll be joining the LD48 shenanigans for my second time! My first was LD #24, so it’s been exactly one year.

Once again I’ll be using Python with PyGame, but this time I’m a little more prepared and have a code base to start working with. My plan is to make some sort of multiplayer game since I like playing with friends!

I won’t be live streaming or anything, but I will put a timelapse together after my entry has been uploaded.

Tools:

  • Python 2.7
  • PyGame
  • PodSixNet for networking
  • Visual Studio 2012
  • BFXR
  • Audacity
  • Photoshop
  • Starter Code

Looking forward to having a good time and playing all of your awesome games!
