Its going to be a tough week. I’ve never programmed an RTS but more importantly, I haven’t actually finished a game yet. Hopefully the competition will force me (in a good way) to finish this. I’m going for a gameplay based on the awesome board game Carcassonne, with some major changes to make it doable as a real time game. There are 3 of us on the team, me programming and 2 friends who will be doing the drawing, choosing the music (none of us can compose) and collecting sound effects.

The idea is to use SFML as the game engine writing the game in C++. I bought the SFML book (this will be my first SFML game) which I would recommend for anyone who’s beginning game development (like me :P).

So good luck to you all, I hope you finish and I hope that I also finish :). And most importantly, have fun.
