To Join or Not to Join
I really REALLY want to join the next Ludum Dare competition, but I’ve never made a game in so little time before.
Also, I’m not sure the difference between a MiniLD and a normal LD. I hope it’s the same thing, because during the summer is the only time I can join it.
I hope my skills in Flash don’t fail me now! I may make some good games, but it takes forever to get some things to cooperate with me. I absolutely hate doing collision physics because it’s a lot of frustrating trial and error. I also don’t want to spend my entire time working with the world render-er. Am I allowed to reuse code I’ve already made before? If so, then my originality will need to be key. Also, I want to stand out from the rest which might be hard. There are hundreds (thousands?) of brilliant programmers here, and if I am to stick out, I need to be strong.
As you can see, this might be a bit fun for me to participate in. (In other words, I’ll be a reck!)
I wonder who I’m posting this to. Will everyone see this, or just people viewing my profile? O.o

UPDATE:
It’s been 2 miniLDs now, and I’m feeling more confident that I’ll rock at the full Ludum Dare. I doubt I can get first place in anything though; I’ve seen some of these submissions and they’re absolutely amazing. I think I know what to focus on though.
