Hi All, wow it’s a full version of LD, well I think I’ll just have to dust off my keyboard and give it a whirl!
I’ll be mostly using:
Language: BlitzMax
Platform: Windows
Graphics: Xara, Gimp
Sounds: mostly beeps, or microphone sillyness, no singing I promise!
Note to self get plenty of sleep, walks, fluids and the simpler the better!
I will also be entering this competition for the first time. Can’t wait to start building the game.
Tools i’ll be using :
IDE – Eclipse
Language – Java
Libraries – Slick2D Game Library with the LWJGL Library.
Art – Inkscape
Audio – Audacity
Deployment – Java Web Start, possibly Applet too.
Good Luck ppl and have fun.
Hey guys. I see lots of other first-timers here — looks like this is a good year for joining! Well, this will be my first time too, hopefully the first of many.
I heard of LD a few times but I never got round to checking it out. Well, I just randomly thought of it a couple of days ago and it turns out it’s just around the corner. What luck! So I’ve been playing a through some of the previous entries. Favourites so far are the tower defense with the owls, and the one with the robots. Oh, and the one where the aliens spill their purple guts everywhere. (All from the same theme… ‘Tower’ was a winner!)
Probably going to go with Flash for this. I’m usually a C++ or Python guy, but as someone beneath me said, flash is faaaaast.

Well, I’m ready and roaring for a great LD14 weekend. I’m going to break my programming-vacation for 48 hours and have myself at some code.
I’ll be using:
IDE: Code::Blocks
Language: C++
Libraries: SDL, SDL_image, SDL_ttf, and SDL_mixer, all rolled into one big PlatyGame (which I wrote myself), and possibly libcurl if internet is needed.
Art: GIMP and a little Paint.
Audio (if I do any): Musagi, SFXR, and Sound Recorder.
PlatyGame source and object files can be downloaded here:

Also, does anyone have any idea how to cut down on the number of DLLs I need to include with my application?

Hey there, and greetings to all of you!
This’ll also be my first time joining LD. Quite a few people I know have been participating in LD, and this time, I’ll see what I can manage to do as well!
What I’ll be using (most probably):
– Eclipse with a Ruby plugin, so I’ll code in Ruby
– Flash, Photoshop and/or Paint + my tablet for graphics
– and Gosu (cause Gosu + Ruby is great!)
Have fun people
Hooray for me, I’ve managed to finangle myself an extended vacation in Hong Kong. Anyhow I’m going to try and enter this Ludum Dare, though I’m going to be in Macau for the first 12h or so of the compo.
The last few LD48’s I’ve used a basic, minimalist C++ engine and coded the game in LUA. This time I’m going to just code the whole thing in C++, I guess just for a change more than anything. So it’ll be C++, OpenGL, and SDL.
My Special Ludum Dare Goal: Include at least sound effects into this one! I’ve never managed to get SFX/music into an LD48 before, triple shame shame shame on me. Ptoiee fireflower spit spiky ball at my butt!
Looking forward to participating again. Learned a lot from LD10. Hopefully I’ll really finish my game this time.
Gonna be using:
Hiya everyone =]
I’m about ready to make a game. I just updated my msvc blank project and allegro toolkit at the site where I’m publishing my games: www.originowl.com.
School has kept me very busy, 5 more weeks of math and english and piano and then I’m moving to UC Santa Cruz to do game design. Living on campus in the forest making games all the time, yeah I think I can handle that.
Good luck and love to everyone!
And I’ll really try to finish something this time.
I’ll be developing with Allegro under Linux on my PIII 933, 512MB RAM, ATI Rage Pro 128. Aw yeah, that’s right… try not to be too intimidated.
This is my first Ludum Dare and I look forward to it!
For my tools, I’m keeping it simple:
I’ll try keeping a live blog going from my own blog and hopefully after the 48 hours I’ll be back here with something cool for everyone.

I’ll throw my hat in again…
Last time I didn’t finish anything to the point that I could submit, but this time… this time it’ll be different.
48 hours… one game. One laptop on a table just large enough to support it. One brand new apartment that’s really frosty most times of night. It’s on.
Is GB coming? I haven’t seen his declaration post yet. I still owe him a prize for guessing the theme to my last (failed) entry-in-the-making.
My tools: Vis Studio 2005, Torque 2D, perhaps my own ‘fade’ behavior for said engine just because it’s ridiculous to re-write a ‘fade’ behavior… Photoshop 6.0, possibly a microphone and a handful of Korg toys, a Harman vocal effects doodad, wikipedia, and Lieutenant Dan.
I look forward to the theme and checking out all the entries.
-Tim

Yeey for another Ludum Dare, this is going to be my third one.
No matter what theme, I will use quaternions for something. I never really got around to implementing them in any of my projects, so this is as good time as any to finally grok the whole thing.
Language of choice is C++, SDL and propably SDL_mixer for sounds. And if I have enough time, I’m going to do game logic in Lua.
Good luck to everyone.
Hi!
This will be my very first LD entry, hopfully I’ll be able to produce something playable and fun by the end of it.
Progress report will be posted at http://tametick.com/blog.
After last time which has been a good experience for me, I decided to enter again! I made the 4th place in “Theme”, and I am very proud of that. It was my first ludum dare and my first playable (and winnable!) game ever!
Will use C++ and Gosu like the last time, not screwing around with OpenGL. Well… maybe I will try to implement some shaders if I find the time for that… Just hoping for a good theme now :S
Just wondering:
Do HLSL shaders count as “content” (in which case they must be written during the compo) or “part of a graphics library” (in which case they can be written before the compo)?
So, an another Ludum Dare. Ludum Dare 13 was great; and I am hoping for an another great competition. I will be using Game Maker (which I hate) again; for I think I won’t have much time to finish the game. Ah well, we will see…
Will probably use:

I forgot where I has going with that title.
Third time in LD.
Going to try do something in either.
I’ll see what the theme is and how much time I have. Looking forward to it.
This will be my third LD, let’s see if this time I can get to more higher place than previous entries.
This time I’ll try Python+Pyglet.
Good luck to everyone
