This is my first Ludum dare, which is probably one of the craziest things I’ve ever done.  I’m nervous, maybe even a little scared, and I’ve been waffling back and forth on whether I actually want to try.  But you know what!  I’m going to do it!

Tools:

Development Engine: Game Maker 8.1

Sounds: Bfxr

Graphics: Gimp

Music: Autotracker-C

I’m even going to try for the Compo instead of the Jam!  I admit I am a little confused about some of the rules, even after reading the rules section.  It said something about “Base code” being allowed, and I’m not sure what that means.  I have a little code already written (basically just an implementation of an Application Controller for Game Maker,) so am I allowed to use that, or do I have to write it again?

I’m also not sure what the timing is supposed to be.  I know I have to make everything within 48 hours, but does that mean I can pick any 48 hours during the 26th to the 29th?

Anyway, I’m excited to test myself.  Wish me luck!
