First and foremost. I will make sure I will not have any parties in future Ludum Dare competitions. Enough alcohol will make me unable to continue programming after the party and hangover is something which almost disables my ability to work mentally. Though drinking some beer slowly while programming can make the time much more fun.

I have to sleep before the theme is announced. I don’t want to be awake for six to twelve hours before the competition starts. Next time I will seriously get that sleep and Then I can most likely do the Compo with  ~20 hour programming + 8 hour sleep + ~20 hour programming. Though I do not calculate for eating and smoking time there. They are the small breaks in the ~20 hour programming streaks.

I need to build my games for Linux, Windows and possibly for OS X and test if the games actually run in fresh installations. Having dependancy issues causes problems, because then the game entry will have ton of comments that it does not run and we have like maximum of 5 minute attention span to test and rate a game.

Lessons probably to be learned. I most likely need to rate few more games to get some ratings for myself. In previous Ludum Dares I only rated few games.
