just want to confirm that I am using Java in Eclipse using the LWJGL and slick-util (for loading textures into the former), with GIMP for graphics and audacity/my guitar for music and sfxr/royalty free sound effects (depending on the promt) for sound effects
Hey, this is my first Ludum Dare and I’m excited to be able to take part. (It looked a bit dicey early in the week when my programming computer’s video card bit the dust.)
I’m planning on using FreeBASIC and GIMP as my primary tools. I have no idea if I will get to adding sound, but there will be kittens!
Everyone have fun programming! 😀
Alright here is what I’m going to be using:
Language: Python
Lib: Pyglet
Text Editor: Sublime Text 2
Not sure about what I’ll use for sprites, probably PowerPoint 2007 (it’s surprisingly useful)
So I haven’t done any Python in over 2 years. The first and last time I used it for was an internship where I doing data parsing, although I looove Python
I’m going through this tutorial right now: http://www.steveasleep.com/pyglettutorial/2
Hopefully I’ll have something playable in the next few hours.
Oh yeah, I’m coding from the recliner.
Alright, time to get to work.
For the next hour at most, I’ll be whiteboarding, keeping notes and designing my document.
My livestream will start immediately when my whiteboarding has been finished, and I will begin my hourly updates here on the blog. I’ll be streaming with some of my favorite music on, so tune in for the tunes or the game dev.
I’m in the #ludumdare channel on the IRC network, so if you want to ask me questions, or just gab at me, by all means send away, I can’t guarantee I’ll respond though.
GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN!
Doing a livestream and timelapse, here is livestream linky
Hello there everyone!
My desk looks like this about 10 minutes before the compo: 
And I shall be snacking upon this until I have breakfast (about 5 hours time):
Bottle of water, bottle of juice, apples, krówki, some oaty things. Also, while writing this post the theme was announced, “Alone”. Uhhhh.
*Nothing* coming to mind.
Our progress can be monitored over at googlecode: http://code.google.com/p/ludumdare22
We are also livestreaming: http://www.livestream.com/qpHalc0n
It’s that time we’ve waited for… Let’s get started!

Fortunately I don’t participate.
The theme is alone, so I’m not sure how closely this matches, but the folks in the chat can attest that i did this after the theme came out. It’s a side view cat vending machine with just one cat left in it. when you try to pick him up with the claw (claw game style), he moves around, making it really hard. Screenshots pending probably tomorrow.

Been trying to post this one for a while, you guys aren’t easy on the servers. I’m up for the theme, and will be using Love2D for my game.
Got a few ideas going, Now I’m going to go to bed and mull them over in my sleep.
Good luck everyone!
Game Maker it is, alone with the Grandma Engine. Wish me luck!
Bite me!
I will be live streaming most of the game devlopment process here: http://www.livestream.com/ld22andrew845 and I will create a timelapse in the end.
No idea what I’m making yet, but… let’s give this another try, eh.
Stuff I will probably use: FlashPunk, FlashDevelop, bfxr, Chronolapse, the darkest depths of my soul. No basecode springs to mind, since I don’t know what the game will be.
Best of luck to everyone.
