This will be my first Ludum Dare. I will be trying to figure out the graphics side of things as I go… I will probably use Python as I know it pretty well and it’s (somewhat) cross-platform. If I need nice graphics I may use Pygame (because it seems relatively friendly) although I’m not totally decided. Do people have other suggestions? Pyglet? Love? Something with SDL?<\/p>\n

I have some experience developing roguelike games (one of the current developers of Angband<\/a>), so depending on the theme I may try to hack one of those together quickly. Or I might try to write a text adventure, or something totally different…<\/p>\n

Good luck everyone!<\/p>\n \n
