Every new line is clunky, and\u00a0it takes a second or two to process which hotkey did what. He takes a deep breath, wondering if this was a smart choice or not. He comforts himself with the thought that this will be an adventure. This will be a great experience, regardless of how hard he will fall. If he ends up with just a simple sprite moving left and right by the end of the week, he will be satisfied.\u00a0He takes a sip of his coffee while he tries to remember how to compile his code. Ah, yes! .\/build.sh. His eyes dart from browser-tab to browser-tab. Looking at tutorials, searching up\u00a0definitions and lurking forums. He fondles around with code, barely capable of opening a message box. But this will not stop him. Experience comes from one place, and one place only: hard work. And with hard work comes failure. Failure he gladly accepts. With little programming experience, some pixel-art experience and a small amount of tracker-experience, he delves into a week-long experience. His first Game Jam, and definitely not his last.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Operating system:<\/strong> Ubuntu Linux<br\/>\n<strong>Editor:<\/strong> VIM<br\/>\n<strong>Art:<\/strong> GIMP<br\/>\n<strong>Music:<\/strong> Famitracker\/Milkytracker<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/s30.postimg.org\/7oiawejdd\/Screenshot_from_2015_03_19_18_51_13.png<\/p>\n<p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/ld58\/\" rel=\"tag\">LD58<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/minild\/\" rel=\"tag\">MiniLD<\/a><\/p>","time":"March 20th, 2015 1:09 pm","title":"Code n\u2019 burn, crash \u2018n learn.","title_was_empty":false}
