I am in!
No idea what I’ll be using, probably Code::Blocks and some random library. Probably either Allegro or SDL. If I really run out of time, I’ll use Game Maker, but the thought of doing that makes me sick (evil thing with archaic dx8).

LD17
Finished, if you can call it a game
It’s horrible. But I’ll be making a high score table that records your scores without you ever knowing whose is whose :p I’ll post the source here when I make it, in a new blog post. I expect -1s from all of you in all my categories!
I am working on…
I am working on making a torrent of all the windows versions of the LD17 games. It will be awesome, and I have to do it all by hand, so bear with me. It’ll be done by the end of today though, I promise!

Sweet, looking forward to it… downloading/organizing everything was getting a little tedious (and I’ve only rated like 20-25 games so far…).
TORRENT WOO
http://destructogames.com/LD17-archives-win.torrent
It’s up. It’s all the windows links I could download, it’s just under 650MB, and it’s just windows games. Source if the games included it, otherwise just the game. Organized into folders labeled as such:
<creator> – <name>
eg:
demize – Horrible LD17 Game
Download it, hope you can get it because my connection is crap for uploading, and then rejoice as you SEED IT. SEED IT. and then SEED IT some more so everybody can have it 😀
EDIT: Some games may have bugfixes, for example pubby8’s game, Island Guns. This torrent should be fairly recent and stable, but if you experience any problems check the game’s page for bugfixes.
EDIT 2: Please be patient and download this. I’m initial seeding right now to get the initial distribution done as fast as possible, but my up speed seems to be less than 20kb/s. It’ll be done within the next day or so probably, then it’ll all be in the wild as long as you stay on. If you’re the only person with a piece and you stop seeding that piece, nobody can get it. So, please be patient and download it, and wait until there are a few seeds to stop downloading and just download them all yourself.

At first I thought I was crazy, but I woke up to multiple virus warnings from the torrent.

Just want to say this torrent is great. There are a few games that are not available any more through their description link, but they are still in this torrent.

LD Census
I made a census!
So, since somebody on IRC had the wonderful idea, I made a census. It’s short, 10 questions, nothing too personal. It would provide some insight into the LD Community as well, so if you could take it that would be awesome. And here’s a link to it: LD Census

And how is Ubuntu not part of “Other Linux”?

Stop whining dude, in fact mostly it really ends up in being ubuntu or other oses when it comes to private computers

Does “Do a MiniLD” mean participating or organizing?

Please change “PC” to “Windows”.

In my opinion, PC means something that is x86-based, meaning at least mostly compatible with an Intel 32-bit CPU. I would include 64-bit x86 chips in that as well, though. (Though I think that only AMD makes 64-bit x68 chips, Intel has moved on to a new architecture for its 64-bit CPU’s if I recall.)

Could have done with a ‘Web’ category for ‘platforms you develop for’.

The Education question seems limited… Americans use college and university interchangeably. We usually differentiate based on the degree earned, since many schools offer programs leading to two-year and four-year degrees (typically Associate’s and Bachelor’s). There are a lot of young game developers still in college (no degree) and many (many) with a Bachelor’s degree (but college was their highest level of education). Then there are the levels beyond, which might be covered by Master’s and Doctorate degrees (both from Grad School – sorta hidden within your term “University”).

Totally thanks. Is there any deadline for the result?

Just stopping by to say….
I’m out. I have a band trip to Nashville this weekend, sadly, so I won’t be able to participate.
I wish you all the best of luck, and may Kittens be the winning theme!
