simplemenu pre-Mini-LD5 release

Posted by pansapiens
Friday, November 7th, 2008

Not sure if I’ll participate in Mini-LD5 yet or not, but just in case, here’s an alpha release of my ’simplemenu’ library. It could well be the simplest GUI framework you can imagine. It barely deserves the title of GUI, actually. It’s intended to make it easy to add clickable “Start”, “Options”, “Quit” buttons to the title screen of a game. It works for me, but it’s far from finished.

(Also, sorry to release code so close to the start time … won’t do it for a ‘real’ LD … but for a mini-LD … well … better lateish than neverish).

Likely Entering

Hi all,

I’m not exactly new to LD, but it’s been quite a while. I’m planning to enter LD11, and I have some interesting ideas up my sleeve :) I’ll be writing all my code completely from scratch, using Win32 -I have a lot of experience doing this though, so I don’t think it’ll be a handicap.

I’ll also be recording a time lapse video of my progress, which might be amusing to watch afterwards - Good luck everyone (you’re going to need it :P)

PSDImage class

I might want to use this for my entry, so I’m putting it up for free download to avoid cheating.

Just some loader code for PSD images, you can retrieve image data for each layer in the image through pointers to regular 32-bit ARGB  pixel buffers (with individual bounding boxes and positions in the image). Haven’t tested it extensively, and it will probably crash for some images… but if it works for you then go ahead and use it. My idea is to do level layout and similar stuff in Photoshop to remove the need for a level editor. Being able to draw scenery (and collider geometry?) in multiple layers should be enough to make something interesting, and do it conveniently.

Get: psdimage.zip
