My first Ludum Dare, the majority of Saturday morning missing, a laggy computer and very little experience programming games. What could possibly go wrong?

So yeah, I’m Hunter X and this is my first Ludum Dare. I’m mostly here as an opportunity to practice my programming skills (I’ve developed a number of small programs either as personal projects or private commissions, but never anything major), as well as to see what it’s like to take part in one of these competitions. I’ll be using C# and XNA for my project (unless I miraculously learn Java in the next 3 days), with either Paint or Photoshop as my image editor depending on what I end up making.

If I actually get anything off the ground I’ll be sure to post about it, but having seen some of the entries in the past I’m doubtful I’ll get anywhere near them on my first try. Still, all experience is good experience, right?
