I finally got around to posting my Ludum Dare 25 time-lapse, accompanied with some idle musings and some epic open (GPL3) music

Check it out!

A few notes in case you were wondering:

• OS is Fedora 17 with XFCE
• IDEs are Code::Blocks (for C++) and Netbeans (for Java)
• Blender for 3D modeling
• GIMP for sprites and for texturing
• the scrot command-line program was used to capture images periodically:

function capture
{
  local name=$(date +%s).png
  scrot $name
  echo $name
}
while (true)
do
  capture;
  sleep 10
done

• ffmpeg was used to compile these images into a video:

n=0
for old in *.png; do
  new=$(printf “%06d.png” ${n})
  mv ${old} ${new}
  let n=n+1
done
ffmpeg -b 1800 -r 30 -i %06d.png -vcodec libx264 -crf 0 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 0 out.mkv

• Audacity was used to capture and clean the audio
• OpenShot was used to edit and to compile the final video
