Let’s see what happens!!

My camera is in the shop, and the webcam isn’t working right now…  Maybe I’ll get some shots up later.

I am a big fan of polished games, so I’m tossing in my work-in-progress GUI lib:
http://code.bluedinosaurs.com/SDL/GRO_Gui.tar.gz

Other libs:
SDL, SDL_image, SDL_mixer, SDL_ttf
Box2d

And these can be found on code.bluedinosaurs.com:
Sprig
NFont
GoodIO
SDL_ColorDef

Of course, sfxr and the GIMP will be my tools.

Good luck, everyone!

You can’t see it, because I don’t have a camera. Rest assured, it is a wood-colored boring IKEA table with a laptop and an iMac on it, and that’s it. Why? I just moved here last weekend. Not much in the way of furniture…

About to make some yummy risotto for dinner, then I’ll be ready to go. Depending on the theme, I may or may not do this contest, actually. I’m just sort of zonked at the moment and not looking forward to the prospect of being chained to my desk until Sunday night. We’ll see.

Howdy everyone. First time ludumdarer here.

I’ll be using Flash AS3 in FlashDevelop, GamePoetry‘s Serenity framework, and Tiled for my 2D tile map editor.

I’ll hosting my final game on Carbonmade and i recommend it to anyone else using flash/haXe. Now lets see if I can finish all my university work and make a cool game in 48 hours! 😀

Well, I managed to do as much as I thought I could. Now with nice particle systems and a couple of other enhancements.

Time to go find myself some food, and possibly a quick shower before the compo starts.

Well, this is going to be my third Ludum Dare if you count the mini-LD I did. Previously I used Scheme/SDL/OpenGL, but since Lua’s a language I want to get comfortable with for other reasons, so I’m going to be putting it to use this weekend =).

I’ll be starting simple and working with the LÖVE engine. I have a bit of code already set up for miscellaneous things, which includes a small demo. Good luck everyone!

As though this weekend weren’t going to be masochistic enough, I whipped out a hour-and-a-half warmup Towlr. Download Towld, written in python+pygame+chipmunk.

Sources tomorrow.

So, this is my desk, laptop webcam took it, I’ll be working on my laptop, because it’s got much more power than the archaic testbox that’s in the image.

Dunno what more to say here, first time participant and all.

Here’s my first ludum dare meal ready to devour on my desk.

In addition, my wonderful wife made me this plate of cookies for the weekend, they’re fantastic.

play it here…

Since there is some confusion.. this is an actual flash game I coded as a warm up in the 2 hours leading up to LD14 theme announcement.  It isn’t just a screenshot..    When the game loads, click in the screen and use your keyboard to win!

Journal:

05:40

Waking up after about 5 hours of sleep. I’m feeling peachy. Can’t wait to go o__O at the theme and lose a few hours wondering why the hell I did even bother going up at such an ungodly hour. LD, you gotta love it. Also, breakfast.

Go go go LDers!

Notice how I skillfully include both a desk photo and a food photo at the same time! And notice the tinyness of my EeePC 901 under Ubuntu. And the mouse. The touch-thingy just drives me mad.

‘nough said.

My first meal this is.

I’ll be using Java; with Slick as my media library, not sure about other stuff yet, depends on theme, and I’ll see that in a bit I suppose.

First meal of the compo. I’m saving off eating it until 4am (start time here), so as to actually eat it during the compo. That’s right. While the rest of you are thinking about themes, I’ll be eating goat cheese, drinking Guinness, and thinking about themes.

Though I’ve already demolished the Cadbury’s. Sigh.

Well, it’s a start. Uploaded for reference. Less than 5min to go!

Well, I just woke up (04:50 am in Norway), found out about the compo from a guy I know on facebook, and I’m discussing with myself if I’m joining or not. We’ll see when the theme is out. Anyways, if I do join, I might go safe with Flash CS3, or I might go wild and try to learn SDL while working :p We’ll see how things turns out. Best of luck to everybody!

Good luck, y’all.

I’ve decided I don’t want to be stuck inside all weekend – I want to explore the town I just moved to. So, no LD. I was hoping for Attraction, but that clearly lost a lot. Advancing Wall of Doom is pretty cool but no thanks. Good luck all.

Now it’s time for bed…
