I’ve been wondering when would be the best time to register for the competition, but now that voting has begun I suppose now is as good a time as any.

I decided to use Java and lwjgl (and probably Slick too) to increase accessibility.  If that doesn’t work out I could fall back to C++ and SDL for next time.

I look forward to actually finishing something for a change.

After a disproportionate amount of time setting up the OpenGL vector rendering system, I’ve managed to create this not-quite-asteroids-clone here.  I figure I might as well test out the packaging, so I’d be most grateful if people could give it a try and make sure it runs. http://rochestercastle.dyndns.org:8080/overboardv0_1.zip

Has it already been two years since LD 21?  It would seem the time is right to participate again.

In response to the rapidly increasing volume of entries, I have chosen to forego the more familiar Java environment in favor of the more accessible HTML5/Javascript combo.  I don’t feel like shelling out for Impact, so I’ll be going with the Crafty engine.  I’ve also been on a functional programming kick lately, so we’ll see if I can deal with wrapping that into something usable with the Fay language.

As for assets, I’ve got Inkscape, the GIMP, and SunVox on standby.

Best of luck to all participants!
