Hey friends.
Trying to be ready for the next Ludum Dare, I’ve been searching for a tool to do the timelapse on MAC.
After some search, I found out that there’s no one simple solution for that, like we have for windows.
We only have one command line for that, which does not support multiple screens, and webcam.

Because of that, I did some home work, and found a way to do that.
I created one script which do that more or less automatically, using some open-source tools.

Basically, I do screen captures using the native screencapture
And webcam photos using imagesnap.

After that, I merge all the files using imagemagick
And to finish, I use the ffmpeg to create the video.

You can download the script here : Google Drive

You need to install imagemagick and ffmpeg, to be able to use this.

In the zip folder, you will find the timelapse.sh
At header of the file, you can change the parameters in the way you want.

After that, you can run the script, and press ‘E’ to exit.
The script will combine all the images, and generate the video inside the folder you executed.

If you have questions/suggestions/improvements, please, let me know.

Hi all!

We’ve been working hard on our game Conga Master for the Ludum Dare 34 jam so we didn’t have time to post anything. But here it is!

Conga Master

http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=66146

This is our game. All graphics and programming were made during the Ludum Dare, and much more! Because we did several prototypes trying different controls. Moving your feet with two buttons, one for each leg, choosing your direction using an oscillating arrow and a button to run, etc. We took our time but we believe the end result feels super nice. What do you think?

We wanted to add different kinds of people affecting the gameplay. Say you got lots of geeks in your conga, then cool people would hesitate longer before joining. Eventually we decided on the pig idea which everybody seems to like :).

Please play the game and tell us what you think! We can’t stop playing to listen once and again to the music while dancing all around!

**EDIT** I’ve changed the post time (hope it is not a problem for the admins) because quite a few people downloaded the ALPHA8. I am sorry it was bugged and it could not run at all. I’ve just released a fixed ALPHA9 (tested on all platforms).

Hello guys,

I’ve made a tool based on LGModeler (by AngryOctopus) which was based on a lostgarden.com challenge.

The software is still alpha but it works (I’ve been working hard and fast to make it works for this ludum dare).

Test it and see if it can be a good companion for this Ludum Dare.

The TileCraft github project (star it if you like it!)

A quick guide to use the tool

Download for Windows, Mac and Linux

Happy coding and good luck for LD#32 😉

Base code: github.com/DarkArtsAndSciences/OculusRiftSceneKit

Please use this code! I want games I can play on my new hardware.

But don’t use the included graphics (the holodeck wall texture and the eye-shaped flashlight mask)  if you’re doing the 48 hour compo (LD’s rules, not mine). If you’re doing the 72 hour jam, it’s not against the rules, but you’re being lazy. SceneKit is this easy.

The podium is technically code, not a graphic, but use it as an example of how to do nested animations (the ring rotates around the ball, and the question mark follows the ring while also rotating in place) or glowing materials or player interaction (it lights up if you walk over to it) or whatever, don’t just drop the entire thing in your game. It’s not a rule or copyright violation, just lazy.

Features:

• LibOVR 0.4.1 support, including DK2 head tracking.
• Multiple standard control schemes (WASD, click-to-move). “Forward” is where the player is facing (requires DK2).
• Lights can autofollow the player. Spotlights can point where the player looks (requires DK2).
• Lots of hooks for common game functions (example: if the theme is Don’t Stop Moving, put your punishment in stopMoving: in Scene.mm or your subclass of it).

Missing Features / Known Issues:

• SceneKit is Mac only. There will not be a Windows version.
• Chromatic aberration correction is missing, aka “something’s wrong with the colors”.
• Only the OculusRiftSceneKitTest example has been updated. The other two are probably broken.
• 2D movement (walking) is in, 3D movement (flying) is not.

Tutorial:

Download the files from GitHub and start with the sample project OculusSceneKitTest under examples.

You will also need LibOVR. You’ll need a developer account, but it only costs an email address. You do NOT need an Oculus Rift. See the GitHub page for more details — Xcode is picky about where you put these files.

Replace HolodeckScene with your game.

Compile, test, distribute.

You can compile and run this without an Oculus Rift, but the screen looks like this:

and you’ll be able to move with WASD, but not turn (unless you code it yourself). Good luck testing that. 😉

Screenshots and gameplay videos should be viewable by Rift users if recorded and played in fullscreen mode. If you have a Rift, try viewing the screenshot with it! (click for full size)

This will be my 2^nd Ludum Dare (the last being LD 28).

This time, I’ll be using similar tools but I’m not sure if the game will be 2d or 3d until the theme is announced. The tools I will use:

• Platforms: Mac, Windows, and (maybe) Linux
• Language: C++
• Libraries: SFML, OpenL, (& if 3d, glm)
• Editor: Sublime Text 3 (with a lot of plugins)
• Graphics: Photoshop
• Sound: Garageband, SFXR
• Writing Instruments: Pen, Pencil, and Paper

Please remember that Unity can make Native binaries for Mac and Linux! It is just a click away:

File > Buildsettings > PC, mac and linux standalone > target platform > build.

In particular, don’t make JUST a web version, because some browser/system combinations don’t play very well with Unity’s web Plug-in.

Thank you, and hope to play your games soon!
