I did it! I finished a game for Ludum Dare #11!
You can see my final post at the Ludum Dare blog.
http://gbgames.com/downloads/ld11/LD11-Minimalism-GBGames.zip is a 12.4MB download.
It includes the entirety of my project’s source in a zip file (LD11-Minimalism-GBGames-source.zip) and a GNU/Linux-ready tar.gz file (ld11-minimalist-gbgames-linux-x86-r12.tar.gz).
The source is ready to be used to build a linux-x86 distributable tar.gz. I created it using my Ubuntu system. I am sure it can be made to build a Win32 version without too many changes, if any.
EDIT: mrfun was kind enough to create a Windows version of my game. You can get it at the official final version post.
I’ll write a post-mortem after I’ve had some sleep and cleaned my apartment. If I learned anything, it is that the kitchen goes to entropy during Ludum Dare.
Woohoo! Good work!
Thanks, Wazoo!
I was thinking about joining in, but minimalism wasn’t too motivating of a theme for me, so I was void of ideas.
Not having a Win32 version easily available will hurt you a lot when it comes to votes.
I was asking if anyone was available to port it during and after the competition, and while I wait, I’ve been working on updating my build scripts to make a Win32 version.
Actually, a Win32 port has been made by mrfun! Check out the final entry; http://www.imitationpickles.org/ludum/2008/04/20/gbgames-presents-minimalist-the-final-version/
