Hi, I’m new here. I’ve been lurking and playing ld games for a few years, but this is the first time I’ve put up.

My entry is far from done. If you’d like source or the work in progress, here’s my release page.

The 48 hour deadline has been great. I don’t have much gameplay, but I do have things working under Windows, which is a great relief. I didn’t leave Ubuntu until earlier this evening, and never having done python dev on windows I was certain this would be my downfall. Thankfully, py2exe is pretty much the most awesome thing ever and Cython is great for wrapping GL, so tie it all together with Box2D and pygame and I have something that looks game-like.

I’ve made plenty of mistakes already. Most notably, I wrote physics and a quadtree before convincing myself I was being ridiculous. Now Box2D is in an all is happy. I had great organization and coding discipline for the first 3 hours; now everything is mush. But a game! Tomorrow I might actually have a finished sort-of game! Hooray! I suppose the rest of you have been on this emotional rollercoaster before.
