No problem. I actually could’ve taken more, but I was in a hurry, and I already had written a similar post on Noteflight.com (After it was accidentally deleted because of “Character Limit” ) I was worried all my writing would be dumped in the trash again, but I guess not! Thanks Ludum Dare system!

if lwjgl doesnt work out for you you can look at jmonkey, i dont use it yet but its still a nice 3d engine based off of lwjgl

Try JMonkey, i have messed around with it and really has the power to set up a basic 3d engine easily. the code works nicely physics is built in, player and player movement is built in(ish) and if you learn how to use it, then its really nice

I’m just asking if other people in the area are interested to see if it’s worth renting a bigger place or something.

I see.

Last week I was chatting with a Frenchman on the IRC channel, who told me he was organising a similar get-together for LD23. He said he was hoping to get 20+ people because he had a large place to host it. I suggested that he write a post about it, so that readers have time to make plans… so when I saw your post I assumed that was you!

Now that I think back, I think he said he was Parisian, so opposite end of the country!

It’s a er… Private event, I’m just asking if other people in the area are interested to see if it’s worth renting a bigger place or something.

Otherwise, food will be in common, nothing like a good barbecue meal with good people.

Also, we have 20 Mbps internet at the house, wireless though, unless I run a cable from the balcony to the garage

I’ve spoken about LD to these friends, but most of the time they seem to react as if it’s some kind of impossible feat.

This is one the things I love most about LD.

if you have any ideas/suggestions/warnings on organising a DevJam at home, please drop me a comment,

- You could post photos of the venue so people know what work environment they are getting.

- Let people know what facilities you are providing. That way nobody is in for any surprises. eg, Will it be one big room for everybody? What kind of internet bandwidth does grandmother’s house have? Wired/Wireless? Is it wired to every room? Would grandmother be okay with visitors using her cooker? Does she expect some quiet on an evening? Is there plenty of parking space?

- You could make some rule about not having food/drink around other people’s hardware, and maybe facilitate this either by keeping people’s desks spaced apart a bit. Is there enough space to do that?

Allowed.

Just make sure that you declare your basecode beforehand, and remember that you need to provide the source code of your entry.

Either is fine.

Should the games be one file (exe, jar, swf, etc) or should they be uploaded as individual files?

Definitely allowed. Games don’t need to be playable in a browser, just downloadable in some fashion or another.

C++ with SDL is fine, although some have determined this to be a difficult path for a 48 hour contest.

Native binaries are fine, and are common, so you certainly won’t be alone. About 1/2 of LD entries are playable in a browser, and these do tend to get the most publicity.

Also be sure to check the rules: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/rules/

Maybe use lwjgl (lwjgl.org)
It is for java, and there are some tutorials on how to use it.
though a first 3d game in 48hours will be hard i think.
