That\u2019s why I\u2019m entering, I have been learning the bare basics recently and I\u2019m hoping LD will give me a reason to create SOMETHING, whether it be text based or a simple 2D game. I\u2019m mainly going to be learning over the weekend and putting what I learn into a \u201cgame\u201d around the theme, hopefully it\u2019ll be a little better than the Hello World program I\u2019ve been making\u2026 I hope anyway!<\/p>\n<p>So yeah I plan on doing it in Python (pretty easy compared to all the other languages I\u2019ve looked at, I have a few books around me and the internet.
