+1 for beholder. I use it and believe it to be an elegant, powerful solution for keeping systems/objects well encapsulated.

For all my screen-capture to .gif, I use LICEcap:

It's free and works well, easy to use.

It's how I made this gif.

dizzykiwi3: You really don't need to be worried about storing your images efficiently unless you are experience problems. Otherwise, you're just committing to premature optimization. I would use the same size base and color images for each character, that way you can use the same offset. This just m...

Wow. I checked out your recent screenshots and the game's website. Your game looks cool! I especially love the tentacles coming from the depths screenshot. I'm more of a rogue-like-like (Binding of Isaac, Rogue's Legacy) fan than a rogue-like fan. Still, what you have looks impressive. Congrats.

I think it would be good for you to do something like 1GAM. Even if you fail, you get to look at your month and ask yourself why you failed. Too little dev time? Did you get distracted? Did you spend too much time tweaking small details? Also, I disagree with josefnpat to a degree. Making tech demos...

Good job on finishing what you have so far. The collisions are particularly precise. I don't think diagonal movement is a MUST. But I don't think it would look awkward with the current animations either. Your call. Also, you have my sympathy w.r.t. engineering school. I just graduated in May. "...

Yay, thanks for the update Karai. I recently played Monument Valley (iOS), and was trying to figure out how good of a job I could do to emulate the style in 2D. Then I thought, "What if I just learned to do 3D stuff.." Love3D still very much excites me.

rmcode's suggestion is good. Alternatively, you could use a shader:

It depends on the scope of your game really. For instance, for very simple games, I would argue that you shouldn't even use libraries. That being said, I typically use these libraries in all of my medium+ size projects: middleclass, stateful, flux, gamera, and a table serialization library. I forget...

I'm glad to see people interested in making games for blind people. I know there was talk on the forums previously about filters for color-blind people as well. You said your friend's MUD is popular with blind people. I assume they use refreshable braille displays. Did your friend have to import any...
