Hi there. My name is Chris, I’m the guy responsible for this game<\/a>, and this<\/em> is my first Ludum Dare ever. I’m going to use a library which I haven’t touched for literally years<\/em> (pygame), in a language which I hardly ever use (Python). I only decided to enter half an hour ago (after<\/em> the contest started – yes, I’m that hardcore<\/em>), so I’m completely unprepared.<\/p>\n

No matter. I’ve probably got pygame installed… do I? Oh yeah, I do. That’s good. So… how does one use this, again? Meh. I’m sure there’s a tutorial on the net somewhere.<\/p>\n

Did I mention that I’m going to a party tomorrow? That will take up pretty much the whole day, and mean that I probably won’t be up and functional before noon the day after, which is the deadline. So I only have tonight available, and it’s currently 6pm here. Factoring in an hour for dinner and assuming a responsible bedtime of 10pm, that means I have… three hours.<\/p>\n

Hmm. Oh well. At least there’s crap-all on TV.<\/p>\n

Maybe I should stop typing English and start typing code right about now.<\/p>\n

Any second now….<\/p>\n

…wait for i<\/p>\n \n
