Wow, NME works great thanks all people working on NME/haXe.

So I have submited my game and it is working on:

• Android (http://games.corne.info/LD/LD23/release/dist/astronautics-android.apk)
• Linux (http://games.corne.info/LD/LD23/release/dist/astronautics-linux-x86.tar.gz)
• Windows (http://games.corne.info/LD/LD23/release/dist/astronautics-windows.zip)
• HTML5 (http://games.corne.info/LD/LD23/release/)
• Flash (but the stars on the background) (http://games.corne.info/LD/LD23/release/dist/astronautics-flash.swf)

Not tested but compiled:

• WebOS (http://games.corne.info/LD/LD23/release/dist/astronautics-webos.ipk)

Not able to compile but probably working (Thanks Apple)

• iOS
• OSX

What went well:

haXe + NME, the cross platform compiler + its graphical friend. I never thought I would be able to deliver so much version of my game without having to change anything in the code (except for a -1 to 999999 for the HTML5 version). During this two days I was compiling to random targets and if something didn’t work on a version I didn’t have to check a very long script. And a few times it saved me from code that wasn’t correct. On some platforms it did work, but on one platform it got some problems so I knew something wasn’t right.

Inkscape, I didn’t know that I could draw planets so nice. I impressed myself this weekend (thanks LD).

What went wrong:

I think the game has still some memory leaks. But I’m not able to fix that in time, IF i’m even able to fix it. It is possible that it is a bug in NME. And second, my code is a mess. Long time no scripting didn’t make it better.

But I really like the product I have made this weekend.

OSX/iOS

If someone one a mac knows how to use haXe + NME. Could you please download the source (http://games.corne.info/LD/LD23/release/dist/astronautics-source.tar.gz) and compile it for iOS/OSX?

My entry: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-23/?action=preview&uid=4506

I finaly have a playable version of the game Now I only have to fix some bugs and than I can add additional stuff.

You can play the HTML5 version here: http://games.corne.info/LD/LD23/6/html5/bin/

Used so far:

• haXe
• NME
• Inkscape

What works:

• Planet are being spawned
• My rockets flies and attaches hisself to the planets
• Gameover screen

What I want to add:

• Fuel
• ?

One of the key elements is almost done. My planets are being spawned, rotated and moved down and I can easly add more planets. And I’m still able to compile it to Android, HTML5, SWF and Linux.

Screenshot from android version:

Hello LDI just wake up and I do have an idea. I will use:

• haXe
• The GIMP
• Inkscape
• ?

I have to work today’ so I will miss 6 hours, but I think it should be enough time to finish the game.

Hi, I’m proud to introduce you gLapse v0.1, a GUI GNU/Linux tool to make time lapse videos of your Ludum Dare work progress. gLapse allows you to take desktop screenshots at fixed intervals and glue them together in a time lapse video. I developed it because there only were command line tools to make time lapse videos on Linux… until now!

Features

• Take .png screenshots at a custom time interval and with variable quality.
• Make videos from using the saved screenshots with custom FPS.
• Multilanguage: English and Spanish for now (more translations are welcome!).
