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.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

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

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

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.
