It will be hard to top the success of I Am A Ninja<\/a>\u00a0(LD22, 50th place) and Cytosine<\/a>\u00a0(LD24, 31st place), but I’m going to try my best.<\/p>\n

My previous two entries were written in raw JavaScript, but this time I’ll be using CoffeeScript<\/a>\u00a0instead. It’s just a more pleasant language to work with, and less verbose so quicker to type.<\/p>\n
