This was my first Ludum Dare and my first game I programmed too.  My game was very simple but I wanted something I knew I could finish and finish I did.

What went right:

• The game got finished
• Fixed any major bugs

What went wrong:

• The goal of the game: it never really happened
• Bugs took a long time fix
• Ran out of muffins

What went into my belly:

• 6 muffins
• lots of soda
• Rigatoni with pasta sauce
• Angus burger
• bagel
• chow mein

What I learned:

• You can make a very simple game in 48 hours while knowing practically nothing about game programming
• What a SIGTRAP is
• How to use Code::Blocks and its debugger
• You can never have too many muffins
• Pasta sucks without parmesan cheese
