Hello world!
I see that a lot of people here are new, just like me, so it will probably be a very interesting week end.
I intend to use the Löve game engine, which is a Lua wrapper for SDL (it’s a little bit more, actually, but I love SDL and Lua, so I couldn’t not love Löve). If I fail, I can still fall back to my usual C + SDL or Objective-C + SDL setup.
Other than that:
- Multi OS (I’m on Linux, but Löve is for Windows and soon Mac OS X too)
- Graphics (or lack thereof) with GIMP and Inkscape
- Music/sound (or reeaally probable lack thereof) with several Linux audio tools, including Audacity, Ardour, ZynAddSubFX, a MIDI keyboard and a mic (I’m supposed to be a musician, but…). I hope I won’t lure myself into losing too much time for music.
- Photos for the food contest, and to show my messy environment.
- Idling on IRC.
- Sleep. What for? The compo starts at 5am here, anyway.
- Erm.
Oh by the way:
Oh, and please vote for Evolution. It seems to be a nice theme (and yeah, I have an idea for it…)

Welcome. I too am hoping for evolution, but in accordance with past LD rules, it is bound to be dead last this round, even though it won the first round.
You can blame the owls for that.

I’m rooting for evolution too.. I’d like to see what everyone comes up with.
Why will it be dead? Was it used somewhere before?

Nah, people just don’t have any ideas for Evolution, so it always fails to win the final round of voting. I’m still voting for it anyway.
