This will be my first time

Okay, so I’m above beginner level with programming and computers, however in all these years I never really programed anything cool.

So I’m going to try that Ludum Dare, and see if I can produce something. I hesitate between Python and C++, but I guess that will depend not only on the theme, but on what I want to do. Python is simple and straightforward (I’ll use pygame), but with C++ (I’ll probably stick to SDL) you have more control over the game engine… I think ?

I plan to code a few very simple games until the LD come, so I can get ready for it.

If you have any tips for a newcomer, I’m willing to hear them.

Else, I’ll probably see you on the battlefield. May the best win !

I recommend that during the jam you go for polish over content. It makes the game far easier to play, and more enjoyable.
