First time for me…
I’m a relative novice, going through a “I want to be a great programmer” phase, and I’ll be entering Ludum Dare for the first time!
I have most experience (which isn’t very much) with C#/XNA, so naturally I’m choosing to do this project with Java/Slick2D! I’m in the process of warming up with Pong right now, to get to grips with the language and framework. It could be a complete flop, but what the hell – may as well give it a shot!
Java, Slick2D, Eclipse, Paint.NET, (unsure about sound).
but good luck anyway
