I am done with my very first entry to Ludum Dare!  I haven’t been able to get on the internet for long enough to post about it until now.  If this disqualifies me from the competition, so be it, I still want to share this idea.  I started it last night.  It’s called: Sweepers! Tools used: Love2D with the HUMP library, http://www.bfxr.net/ for sound effects, and very primitive vector graphics.  Screenshots:

The premise:

The game resets if you lose.  I did not have time to do proper scoring or persistent high scores, and evolution does not work at all after the reset occurs.  You will have to start the program again if you want to play without the bugs.  It’s a .love package, so you will need Love2D 0.8.0 to play.  Enjoy!  It’s here.

I am overall pleased with the mechanic, but that’s about all I’m pleased with.  I don’t really think I will win (or even come close), but this is one of the best experiences I’ve had in a long time.  I will be participating (correctly :P) just about every time from now on.
