Ludum Dare » latestart http://www.ludumdare.com/compo A tri-annual 48 hour solo game development competition.

My breakdown of events:

  1. I haven’t produced anything worth submitting – only got much of the backbone finished
  2. I have learnt a lot about the workings of C++ and the SDL library
  3. I managed to produced my very first makefile to automate building and debugging
  4. I have a basis for a game I have wanted to make for a while
  5. I might still have some time to finish in time for the Jam Deadline
So yes, after having only started work on my game about 15 hours after the start, plus having to learn how the SDL library worked while I was at it, I managed to bite off far more than I could chew.
Even if I do miss the jam deadline, It won’t put me off entering next time (If I can fit it around University).

I’ve got SDL installed, its includes and libraries set in visual c++, and some SDL tuts in a firefox tab.

I think I’ll start working now.
