Hey there!

I am following this competition for quite some time now and always wanted to participate, but every time something cropped up.

When I saw the announcement for LD18, I immediately knew “This is gonna be the weekend!”.

Sooo…. I’m off to a birthday on Friday night, which will probably also cost me a good chunk of Saturday. But instead of further stalling my first Ludum Dare, I might as well join in now and “fail early” as the common entrepreneurial knowledge has it (and I will!).

As for equipment, I’ll probably be working under Ubuntu using the following tools:

• Python with PyGame, using my beloved (g)Vim editor
• GIMP + my Hands and a Scanner or my Wacom for graphics
• Maybe also a bit of Inkscape
• And I will probably not make it so far as to get to sound effects, but if I do, I should probably take a look at this sfxr

I’m pretty excited to see how this turns out, so please be nice and don’t expect too much… 😉

Nothing else to say right now, except maybe: Does anybody have a hint on how to change/set my avatar? ^_^”
