It&#8217;s my first LD so go easy on me! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;ll most likely be using Java and JOGL to make my game, though I&#8217;m not very experienced in them. So, it&#8217;ll be a great learning experience for me, and I can only wish for something decent to come out of it.<\/p>\n <p>After the competition, if anything reasonable did actually get created, I will most likely port it to Android. We need more games on our Android phones, after all!<\/p>\n <p>As for myself, I&#8217;m a student at North Carolina State University, majoring in computer science with a concentration in game development (and minoring in mathematics).<\/p>\n <p>Good luck to everyone!<\/p>","time":"August 16th, 2010 4:04 pm","title":"Hi, I\u2019m Ricket!"}
