Lemon Sole

If I’d remembered to take the picture before I ate my lunch then you’d have seen a rather delicious Lemon Sole, but I was so keen to eat that I forgot. That was a great way to start a Ludum Dare weekend.

I’ve been out and about, including taking my family to lunch to celebrate a birthday, so I haven’t got down to the serious business of coding yet. But we don’t get to see the sun around here very often so it was wonderful to sit at an outside table at the restaurant, to eat some fantastic food and drink a beer and to think about what I’m going to do for this theme.

I’ve been chewing over ideas including: a side-scrolling Choplifter-style game; a capture the flag game; a few variations on a theme of turn based strategy; an evacuation game; something involving a volcano (thanks Iceland); something with lots of boats, and even a shmup because I’m old and I like them.

My ability at programming far exceeds my ability at art, so whatever I do is going to feature somewhat retro programmer art. But in some respects I’m counting my chickens – I still haven’t selected a theme.

Good luck to all entrants. I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.
