2nd LD for me, the last one was 2 years ago I’ll code in I don’t know which language yet and use open source software only. Just discovered the theme huhuh. But before coding… sleep ! (It’s 3am here)

edit: oops.. forgot that I had some homework and other irl stuff.. sorry I can’t participate.

After a quite a lot of hassle, I succeeded in making my timelapse (and the bash script to go with \o/). Stream it here at 25fps (here for avi download), and here at 8fps (here for avi download). The script I created to make the videos from the images is here (hope this helps). Next step if I have the motivation : make an update to the game (mainly to fix the difficulty problem), and write a postmortem ^^

So here it is, my entry is called Potholes and you can play it here, dowload it here, and get the sources here. Have fun !

Here is the idea behind my entry : you’re a car with a crane on it and you have to fill the gaps on the road, so that the vehicles behind you don’t get stuck. The gameplay is that you have to approach the gaps enough to fill them, without falling into them. And of course each gap you miss (which leaves the screen) makes you lose a life, points or whatever.

Here’s a screen :

and here is the game in its current state.

Hi I’m Swergas, a French student in IT, and I’m new to Ludum Dare ! I will try to participate to this weekend’s competition. I’ve previously coded several Flash games and I’m learning to code with the SDL lib in C++. So if I manage to gather enough time this weekend to participate, my submission will be either in C++ or in haXe, I’m not decided yet (I think it will depend on the theme). See you !
