Ludum Dare is a world renowned rapid game development competition which started in 2002 and has since increased in popularity due to the participation of professionals such as Notch, the creator of Minecraft. Since Ludum Dare 22, the Aberdeen University Computing Science Society has hosted meetups in Room 205, Meston Building at the University of Aberdeen. Our meetup started at 6pm on the 24th of August, which as I write this was now yesterday.
Whilst not participating in the actual event, I have been learning about Python and PyGame this weekend. Initially, me and two others were going to work as a group, but later it became apparent that our sleep patterns were not syncing up at all which made this all but impossible. As a result, a playable, actually quite fun, game has risen from my “messing about to get some ideas”. Titled “Kitten’s Missions”, the player takes the role of a cat that must go on missions and then return to it’s friends.
