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

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 ?<\/p>\n

I plan to code a few very simple games until the LD come, so I can get ready for it.<\/p>\n

If you have any tips for a newcomer, I’m willing to hear them.<\/p>\n

Else, I’ll probably see you on the battlefield. May the best win !<\/p>","time":"August 8th, 2016 12:47 pm","title":"This will be my first time"}
