I Just had an Idea of a New type of Ludum Dare

Basically you use a Game Development program that I will develop Prior to the Challenge and then you use that to come up with the Best game using its limited capabilities

Im just wondering who would be interested in such a challenge?

Can you share more about it?? Language, framework, source code license….

It would be a drag and drop interface

I dont know what defines a framework

No source code

What do you mean by the license

How exactly do you propose to build this tool? What features would it have that would convince us to use it? Have you used it to make a game yet?

I’ve thought about this as well, several times. In principle, it should be fun, but in practice you will probably only get a handful participants at best. Most people like to use tools they’re familiar with, or ones that they’ve been hoping to learn. Since your editor will almost certainly be very limited and specific to some classes of games, it might not appeal to many.

If you host a mini-LD at some stage, you will have full control over what the challenge consists of. Although it’s probably wise to not stray too far off the beaten track, else you risk alienating potential contestants.
