Anybody else competing in this month's Ludum Dare game jam? If you've got the better part of a weekend, and want to see if you can make a game from scratch in 48 or 72 hours, I'd highly recommend it. It's very newbie-friendly, the participants are a great group of folks, and it's a pretty excellent source of feedback! If you're interested, theme voting is still open, and the jam-proper starts in about 16 hours.

(and frequently vectors are structures or classes that hold two to four floating point variables named x, y z, w.  ;))
Har Har Har, what are you, a mathematician? :P
4x4 floating point matrices are used heavily in graphics processing. The w lets you represent division, among other things. (Each row is obviously a vector.)

Coincidentally, I happen to be writing my own renderer for a graphics class. The matrix library is done, now I've got to do the ray-tracing.
It's going along much better than my AI class assignment (heuristics,) which I'm probably going to fail.

Some of the topics seem quite fun.

(I have never ever finished a game before, probably why I wouldn't participate ._.)

I might try, but I doubt I'd be able to finish.

I won't do anything myself, but if someone wants me to lend a hand with an existing project I'd be interested

I'm probably too much of a scrub to be much help (plus I don't have a lot of free time right now), but I would still be interested in hearing what you're working on.

I keep meaning to do this and then keep not doing it. I really should do it this time.

I think I'm gonna do it.

Spoiler: possible themes (click to show/hide)

Some themes don't really inspire me, but eh :/

Yeah, LD Themes are not always great, but the ones that leave any room for creative interpretation often don't matter. Also, if it helps, a simple 72-hour Team LD game was the first thing I ever completed as an indie, and while I was still learning. Everything else had been stuck in Dev Limbo before that. I didn't finish what I hoped too, but it was an excellent experience just to see that I could set an intention, and Just Shia LaBeouf It.

Yeah, Ludum Dare seems like it would be good for actually finishing a project since it gives you a deadline to complete by. Has a thread been made for it in Other Games yet?

It's a bit disappointing but I've got some ideas for it. Who's doing the compo and who's doing the jam? I think I'll personally go for the jam this time around.

Funny; not a single theme got a positive score this time around.

Shapeshift is a toughy. I'm rolling a few vague ideas around, but I'm not sure.
