I’m in and looking forward to LD#25.

I ran into a few problems with some library code during LD#24 and so have cleaned it up and published to github as new Processing libraries:

Executor library for Processing
https://github.com/heuermh/executor-processing

Scheduled executor service for Processing. Run tasks (reflective method calls to your PApplet) later, repeat tasks at intervals, and schedule tasks to happen after other scheduled tasks.

Animation library for Processing
https://github.com/heuermh/animation-processing

Sprite sheet and frame animation support in Processing.

My LD24 48-hour entry Darwin Award was an infectious disease simulation with some population genetics thrown in.

A new post-compo version is available that allows the user to tweak all the various simulation parameters and adds some visual indicators to make the game play less opaque.

My entry Darwin Award is mostly an infectious disease simulation with some population genetics thrown in.

If that description doesn’t sell a game, I don’t know what will.

A gameplay video perhaps?

Seems like the simulation part of my LD#24 entry is going ok.

Next up is working on the interaction part.  And sprite animations.  And background.  And music.

&c.

I’m in and looking forward to LD#24.

My entry for LD#23 tr-3012 was primarily a musical instrument, a drum machine with five independent looping triggers identified by robots.

This time I think I’ll go for making a more traditional game.

My entry tr-3012 is primarily a musical instrument, a drum machine with five independent looping triggers identified by robots.

This time around I did a lot better at removing code that wasn’t necessary and dropping ideas I wouldn’t have time for. I had all of these digitized robot voices recorded that my five year old loved but which didn’t really make the game any better.

One thing I regret not having time to implement was an introductory zoom from outer space into the playing grid, to make it look like the robots were isolated and adrift in space. That would have helped fit the theme better.

The tools I used:

Processing
Piccolo2D
Piccolo2D library for Processing
Beads library for Processing
Garage Band
Animoog
Audacity
TAL-Dub-2 audio unit plugin
GIMP

I plan to add a few new features to tr-3012 later, to make it more useful as a musical instrument

– allow user-provided samples
– external MIDI sync, or at least set a tempo in BPM internally
– send MIDI and OSC events in place of/in addition to playing samples

Fourth’s times the charm!

I dropped enough functionality & design to actually complete and submit an entry.

Got real close to completing an entry for LD#22.

OK, not that close. Fourth time’s the charm?

Yep, the team is actually writing code to fix bugs on release night, now 14 hours in.

Good thing I have LD22 to distract me.  Screenshot of work in progress:

Looking forward to LD#22. Day job release date of Dec 2nd was missed and moved to Dec 19th, so it will be fun to have more than one thing to stress about that weekend.

Looking forward to LD#21, though (as usual) I won’t have much time to spend this weekend, am going up north to the lake.

I was hoping Looping would win for the theme, now I’m leaning toward Immortality.

Good intentions, poor planning.

With a pretty good idea in mind, I started on my entry after dinner Sunday evening.  I only got as far as the splash screen and sprite graphics before I ran into a Processing file IO bug and threw in the towel.

The idea was:  Air Conditioning.

Looking forward to LD#20, though unfortunately I won’t have much time to spend this weekend.  I did prepare by making a game this week, as a going away present to a friend

Not real impressed with the theme.

Oh well, a few minutes sketching out an idea before bed, and a first screenshot.

Kid #2 is on the way, so better now than later.
