Programming to me usually means, think about the problem, sketching it out, thinking some more, doing some tweaks, coming up with neat ideas and succinct methods. As an LD virgin however I have discovered that the compo is madness.<\/p>\n

Slap in some code, does the result look ok? No? Just throw in some more magic numbers. OK now? No, but it doesn’t crash so bugger it. Is there a switch statement in Lua? What??? Now you tell me?? Slap in 40 nested if statements instead. Sorted.<\/p>\n

Taking a 5 minute break atm because some text won’t line up with some other text but I can’t think why because my head is full of pixels and a funny farty sounding effect.<\/p>\n

Help me!<\/p>\n
