Hello all … I’m a LD first-timer, intending to give it a shot this time around. I suspect I’ll only really get ~24 hours of actual LD-time, due to inconvenient timezones clashing with the “Day Job”(tm) … but I’m prepared to give it a red hot go. I’ll almost certainly be using Pygame (1.8) and Rabbyt (0.8.1) … unless for some reason the theme makes me want to write a text adventure \":)\"<\/p>\n

Since I typically develop on Linux, I’ve done some preparation by making sure I can actually produce Windows executables (the catch: still requires a Windows installation somewhere). My personal py2exe and cx_Freeze ‘tutorial’ is here<\/a> … it’s actually painfully detailed for something that turned out much simpler than I expected. It would be great to compare notes on crossplatform Python\/Pygame experiences\/successes\/pitfalls with any other Ludumdarers that code on Linux.<\/p>\n \n
