Probably I’d spend more time recoding it to my own style than actually making new content… =/

Check the rules wiki for the Mini-LD hosting sign-up.

@MrDude: when do you think would be the best time to hold a Mini-LD, it should be held over a weekend preferably. How about Friday 14th Jan – Sunday 16th Jan?

@ACodeGerm & thristhart: I think trying to work with someone else’s code is quite challenging especially if the code is done in a non-familiar way, hopefully the process will allow you to understand how other programmers approach their own work and we should all learn some good lessons from it. We’ll no doubt see some very unique amalgamation of game development skills at the end of the challenge.

* This’d be very interesting.
* Stuff that isn’t done can get done. I like stuff that is done.
* Finally, decent music!

Cons:
* Not everyone has the required tools available to them, especially us not-windows users.
* Any takers for something coded in Z80 assembler? (Counter-con: At least it’s not the Gameboy pseudo-Z80. You DO have the IX/IY registers.)

I apologize in advanced if anyone tries to work with mine.

Haha, I still think I’d get a kick out of this regardless.

(I’m hosting the one this March, but I’ve already got my theme decided…)
