This will be my first time doing Ludum Dare. \u00a0I am still not 100% guaranteed on doing this as I have to make sure that my wife is okay taking care of our son for two days! O_o<\/p>\n

I am relatively new to programming. \u00a0I haven’t done any college course work but I have done Udacity and Coursera classes as well as purchased some Python books. \u00a0I am surely capable of making a game but the time constraint will be the most difficult part.<\/p>\n

I will be using Python, Pygame, probably Pyxel Edit, and maybe Tiled.<\/p>\n

The most difficult thing for me to do is harness my ideas on a small scale. \u00a0I think BIG and then I don’t end up accomplishing much. \u00a0For LD, I want to think small and refine to something cool.<\/p>\n
