Hello there!

I’m Gil, and I am a beginner programmer. But not like “I’m a beginner, I have been playing around with flash a bit”. No, I’m REALLY in the beginning.

I am on the first year of college, and I have never touched programming before. The first language they taught me was C. Not C++, not C#. Just C. Like, one of the first programming languages from the 70’s… The one that inspired the majority of modern languages (like Java, C++ and C#).

Because of the limitations of C and of my knowledge, I can only make a Text Game. If you like retro, mine can’t go much back! This will be also a great test for myself with deadlines, rating, and all things involved in for real life programming. As this is all a test and a challenge for me, I’m going to join the Jam.

I hope I can at least make it playable and enjoyable! Have fun!

Update #1: Yeah, crossed the no return point with this post… Mood: Nervous

Maybe, if you have been programming for a bit… And has basic knowledge of statements and how to use functions… Go look at Lua and Love2D. It is a framework to help make 2D games. Handles mostly graphical side stuff. Should not be too hard to pick up. The Love2D Wiki is full of examples!

Sadly, because of PC problems, I could not finish my game for this LD… Next time I will have more knowledge and I’m sure I will make a better game than this one could ever be.
