I’m so in!
This will be my 3rd ludum dare I have entered in, and as always it will be a lot of fun 😀
Here are my weapons of choice:
- Language: ActionScript 3 or C++
- Libraries: FlashPunk or SFML
- Graphics: Paint.NET
- Audio: SFXR
- Food: Healthy this time around, but some junk food and coffee is present.
- Timelapse: Chronolapse
Even though this is only my 3rd ludum dare I have a couple tips for people:
- Eat mostly healthy food, if you only eat junk food chances are that you will start to feel sick later in the jam (happened to me)
- Drink loads of water or juice, keep coffee and soda to a minimum (really hard to keep myself from drinking coffee though)
- Sleep, don’t stay awake until 4a.m like I did. If the theme is announced really late (2-3am for me) I would recommend to sleep and look at the theme in the morning.
- Breakfast, don’t skip it.
- Loads of alcohol is bad for thinking. Unless you reach the Ballmer Peak:

I wish luck to everyone, and above all have fun!

Great tips. Through years of honing my skill I have been able to turn the Ballmer Peak into a kind of plateau. I’m there right now, actually.
