Forgot to post this earlier in the day, but we’re back with our usual crew with the addition of a special guest!

None of us are new to jams or Ludum Dare, so let’s get right in!

We are accompanied by our friend Zach from Fat Bard this time, so that means our audio won’t be an afterthought this time! lol.

The Crew: (from left to right)

Jif: Code
Dan: Code/Art
Denver (Me): Art
Zach/Fat Bard: Audio

Tools:

Unity
Visual Studio
Photoshop
Fat Bard
Coffee
Snacks
Spotify

Good luck everyone!

I think I have a working PC  ( Touch wood )  .  If it was a person it’d probably be the legal drinking age.

Cross posted from the new site! Which is super awesome. Migrate.

This will be my third time in Ludum Dare, having joined for some rounds back in 2014 and 2015 as this legacy account.
This will be my 5th time in a Game Dev Jam, and I hope it will be a turning point.

I’m looking forward to using my new skills as a programmer, designer and human to make this something special.

I’ll say it one more time, super hype.
I have made strides of improvement from just a few weeks ago developing hexcross with https://metahobby.com
What will I learn this time?

I’ll share it with everyone here on this fresh Ludum Dare Blog and hopefully even stream some too @ https://twitch.tv/metahobby

Posting this on the old website since apparently I never have before.

I’ll be using either Dart+OpenGL or Java+LWJGL, but probably Dart so I can make it run on web easier.

Tools I’ll be using:

• Dart SDK
• Paint.NET
• sfxr
• Audacity
• Notepad++
• Google
• Coffee

I recently rebooted development of a project I tried to develop for the Ludum Dare 20 contest held in April 2011, the theme of which was “It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this!”

As the project will require a controller with an analogue stick to play I’ve begun to develop a utility to interrogate the capabilities of various controllers; and, as I feel that the SDL2 documentation is lacking with regards to the joystick support offered by that library, I’ve posted – in addition to an executable of that utility for Mac OS X (and I want to release executables for additional platforms – the Raspberry Pi in particular – in the future) – the source code to that utility to GitHub for the benefit both of myself and of others.

Note that to use the utility you will need to have SDL2_image – in addition to SDL2 – installed.

Amongst the changes in version 2.0 of the utility are that:

• the utility now features support for multiple controllers;
• the utility now features detection of POV hats (and, contrary to what I wrote in the past, the D-pad of the Sony PlayStation 2 DualShock 2 controller is not disabled in analogue mode – rather, it is in that mode detected as being a POV hat (at least using my PlayStation-to-USB adapter));
• the utility now features preliminary detection of trackballs – “preliminary” as neither of my controllers (the other being a Sony PlayStation 3 DualShock 3) features a trackball;
• the utility now features preliminary detection of whether or not a controller has haptic capabilities – “preliminary” as neither of my controllers has been detected as having haptic capabilities in spite of both of my controllers having haptic capabilities (although my adapter or my OS (Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard) might be to blame).

So I’ve been working on JSCF for a while on my own and wanted to get some feedback but mostly help from you good JS developers out there. I’ve been using early early prototypes of it for my last two entries Catapult & Powerless. Since then it changed A LOT but I thought I’d come back to the place that got me the idea to start a lightweight canvas and native JS (and CanvasInput.js) only library – JSCF. Currently in development but you can get a prototype build on github:

Thanks =D
