I feel like I know enough that I want to get my hands dirty, but not enough that I could actually produce something in the compo&#8230;.Now, I&#8217;m not saying I&#8217;ll be sad if I can&#8217;t turn out a good game, but I will be a little sad if I try to enter and can&#8217;t manage to put out anything. I&#8217;ll feel like I wasted my time. (I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll learn stuff, making it worth the time, but still&#8230;)<\/p>\n <p>Anyway, I figure I&#8217;ll just plop the extremely (I can&#8217;t really stress that enough) simple test I made here in case anyone wants to take a look and see if they can give me some tips (trust me, I could do a lot of the organization better. Especially my animation stuff, which I threw together very quickly just to see if I could get it working before heading to bed).<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cs.drexel.edu\/~djk65\/ludum48\/ludumTest\/\" \/>Applet<\/a><br \/>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cs.drexel.edu\/~djk65\/ludum48\/ludumTest\/source.zip\">Java Source<\/a><\/p>\n <p>Well, I guess I&#8217;ll see how I feel about this tomorrow. I should have some time to work on stuff before the compo, so who knows&#8230;maybe I&#8217;ll do enough to feel ready. Whether I join you all tomorrow or not, good luck, and have fun!<\/p>","time":"April 25th, 2013 9:15 pm","title":"Still don\u2019t know if I\u2019m in\u2026"}
