Once more I ride!!
April 7th, 2012 8:10 pmHello everyone! 
This will be my third LD and I’m stoked! I’ve never submitted but I’ve always tried my best. Now, I wanna do ten times better.
- Programming Language: Java
- Libraries: LWJGL, Slick2D, and JBullet (if needed)
- IDE: Eclipse
- Sound/Music: Bfxr/WolframTones
- Graphics: GIMP, Inkscape, and Pickle
- Foodstuffs: LOTS of water, microwavable bacon cheese burgers, hot pockets, and energy drink mix
I wanna wish everyone the best of luck and I hope we make it over the 1000 game list!
Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.
Hi, this is going to be my first. Got any advice? I will be using java, and also a guide as to how to make applets even work would be nice
One great piece of advice is to relax during the compo/jam. During my first I stressed out and ended up just not submitting at all. As for a guide to making applets, I don’t really have one xD Sorry I couldn’t help you there. There is a lot of good java game programming out there though. That’s where I would start.
EDIT: I also have another piece of advice. Make sure everything you will be/maybe using works properly! That’s another big one. You should also check out Sol’s guide to the LudumDare Compo here
Sol’s guide is really good advice not just for LD but for life.
Really, it’s good to take breaks.
It’s good to stop thinking actively about the problem and let it stew in the background.
It’s good to drink water.
IT IS GOOD TO SHOWER.
