    - Great tips, especially if this is your first Ludum Dare.

    Tools

    - A nice collection of popular tools used by many Ludum Dare participants.

    Rules and Guide Re-written for Maximum Clarity

    - The official rules can be ambiguous at times. This post does a great job clarifying things.

    On a personal note, I've found these competitions to be a great experience. Testing my game creation abilities, under tight conditions, with a strict deadline, is a wild ride. Making it to the end, and submitting a game provides a great sense of accomplishment. Also, the LD community is one of the friendliest I've seen. I hope to see many of you participate.

  • zatyka - Nice work on the video!!

    OK, pre-jam check-list completed. Family - pre-warned, coffee - stocked up, chips n dips - too many for one person to reasonably consume in a week, spare mouse battery - check....

    I'm hoping for Connected Worlds. I have no idea what I will do if it comes up, though!!

    Good luck to everyone!
