I&#8217;ve been thinking of\u00a0 ways to stream\/log while i work, and i realised i could use my livestream account to stream as i work.<\/p>\n <p>I will be streaming, from start to finish from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livestream.com\/skintkingle\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <p>I will also be blogging on my tumblr as i make milestones in the 48 hours ludum dare goes on. this can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/skintkingle.tumblr.com\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <p>I will be using C# 2005 in Visual Studios, and i intend to write from a white page.<\/p>\n <p><em>A little about myself:<\/em><\/p>\n <p>I&#8217;ve been programming for about 6 or so years now, and i&#8217;m 100% self-taught. When i wanted to learn something, i looked around for a solution, studied it, made it my own, then after a while completely rewrote it. I am working on a game engine called &#8220;Supernova&#8221; but it&#8217;s very VERY limited so far. I&#8217;ve also written a scripting language called SkintScript which i may use for config files etc as the Interaction between script and .Net is&#8230; glorious. (I took the LuaInterface approach if any of you have used that with .Net). If you are interested in seeing how it works, please see these 3 progress videos found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OtGvGY9MIU0\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QkqnnkrHAM8\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SM1iqMBbfas\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <p>If you would like to use it (although i doubt anyone would want to, it was just my little experiment) please contact me and i&#8217;ll be happy to e-mail you the library. (Note it&#8217;s only .Net compatible though&#8230;)<\/p>\n <p><em>My Goals:<\/em><\/p>\n <p>Well i suppose the main reason i&#8217;m entering this contest is to challenge myself.. see how good i really am and also to meet likeminded developers\/people to converse with and\/or exchange ideas. I have Notch from www.minecraft.net to thank for making me aware of the competition last time he entered so that&#8217;s also a little bit of why i am here.<\/p>\n <p>So that&#8217;s all i can think of really for the time being&#8230; good luck everyone, i hope you all have lots of fun, i know i will.<\/p>","time":"April 23rd, 2010 8:31 am","title":"First Ludum Dare..
