Hi, my name’s Jonno and after some decision making and practice in Java I am in for LD21.<\/p>\n

I’ve watched a few competitions on the side lines, and decided that this time, due to my beginning with Java in May of this year (and recent success with Java’s standard accelerated graphics controls), I will join in.<\/p>\n

All the code I will be using will be standard Java classes.<\/p>\n

I’m most hoping that this competition, whether I produce anything finished or not, will be a massive source of learning for me and a boost in my motivation and skill with the language.<\/p>\n

I’ve always wanted to develop games and I’m the only 17 year old I know personally who is able to do what I do…so Ludum Dare is where I will start.<\/p>\n

Good luck to all competition and I look forward to the two days of hurried coding! I plan not to sleep because I’m a noob and I’ll likely need the time.<\/p>\n
