And that music video is very funky indeed.

Aww… Well, we run one every month where there isn’t a “big” LD. Plenty more chances.

Too bad I didn’t know about this, I would totally “try” do something inspired on this (but a lot less awesome, since is very difficult to even equal the awesomeness of it): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDr-UcPg91k

It’s only restrictive if you aren’t clever and/or willing to “reinterpret” it. I’m using the spring equation (F = -kx) in a dynamic difficulty system.

It’s up to you to be restricted or not. Don’t sweat the theme if you don’t care for it. The subtheme (and technically everything about a MiniLD) is optional, but intended to help you come up with some never-before-seen fun.

I’ll be a man and just go out and say it: I voted for kittens.

And I think you’re right… The subtheme fits really well…

Sub-theme is disappointingly restrictive, so I’ll give this a miss unless I’m struck with inspiration soon.

What’s wrong with you people? How could you not pick Kittens? It would have been awesome with the sub-theme too…

Man, I think this theme is too vague…you can really pick anything you want. In my opinion, Ludum Dare themes should be slightly restrictive, so they engender more ideas. I also think titles which are years are uninteresting titles.

Was hoping for a better theme. Oh well, there’s always next month.

Interesting sub-theme, I cannot wait to see what everyone comes up with. I want to wish all participants good luck, and please remember to save often, and back up your data regulary. I am off to sleep, but will start on this in the morning.

I recommend this article regarding spring physics.

Easy to implement, and stable.
