So, with all the hubris and overconfidence of a LD second-timer, I’ve made no firm plans for my participation in this compo. But I will produce something. I’m waiting for the theme to direct me.

I do have three (or four) very general ideas of what I might use:

1. Pygame + Rabbyt (the old fallback, if I decide to avoid … option 2 or 3)
2. Processing.js … but it could run too slowly if I do anything too complicated
3. Some type of browser based scene/image based puzzle/adventure game (think Myst), where the images are served up online, via Google App Engine or Turbogears. Click points encoded using a CSS hotspot grid. Maybe multiple players could interact somehow too.

Everything will be coded on Ubuntu Linux, with Gimp, Inkscape for graphics, sfxr and whatever audio tracker/softsynth takes my fancy (maybe LMMS, since I had a fairly good experience with that last time).

Also plan to use the Python debugger Winpdb for the first time on a project. I feel like it will really help, but we will see …..
