Well, if I win, or get anywhere near that, I'm not really in any code challenges for the prizes - the experience and the fact of having both an aim, and a deadline tends to add feasibility back into my code so its a good refresher from drafting out weird and wonderful ideas and seeing if I can push my knowledge of Pascal to make it happen Hence my enthusiasm towards ludum dare, its not so much the 'what you can do' aspect of programming with large brainstorms but more of a down to earth, practical blitz, and thats fun.

Of course, theres the usual code recycling and importing from other projects and seeing just what it can be used for other than its original purpose and the quick and dirty fixes and 'hacks' one can do. fun XD
