Posted by: Hamumu at 18:19
That's right, a year later, Ludum Dare is finally having another 48-hour contest. It begins on April 16th, but you should sign up earlier so you can submit theme ideas and vote on what the theme ends up being! Learn more about it and get signed up over at their website.

Why havn't I seen anyone else signup for the Contest! Come on guys this is a cool challenge and we need to proove to everyone that Delphi can compete in these contests.

Remember a Delphi game won last years www.remakes.org retro game contest. Lets make sure a Delphi Game wins this 48 hour coding contest.

If you think 48 hours isnt enough to do a real game in, you can even do it using the windows GDI! How long would it take to rewite mindsweeper?!?!? I'm sure most of us could do it in 48 hours if we tried!

It's not really my type of gaming contest... I'm planning on competing in a few others tho in the coming year, therefor I hope the Retro Remakes competition will be held again this year!

Man, I'd love to do one of those... sadly. I take on way too much. :cry:

I'll just end up like scotty and "canna holder tagether". Someone should enter though I agree.

**cairnswm** · 31-03-2004, 10:31 AM

I'm going to be entering. I have already put in a days leave for the monday to allow me to recover

I find that 20 hours is enough to get a game together. I often forget about projects after 20 hours as I have already prooved to myself that I can do it.

Biggest problem with this contest is that you have to do all the images yourself as well. Not there I'll have a problem

I really need to find a program that will automatically do human shapes in different poses (seems that Poser 5 will do it - but $166 minimum).

Please would anyone that finds out about programming contest post on the board about them. I find that contests are the most powerful way of getting my programming motivation up. Unfortunatly there seem to be very few contests that we can actually use Delphi in.

I think Poser5 has a trial version, not too sure, but you could do some things with a trial!

Of course there are also other ways to get Poser

Perhaps savage can help here. I'll send his a link to this thread.

**HopeDagger** · 31-03-2004, 11:29 PM

I intend on entering, although I'm not sure if I'm going to use Delphi or not. Delphi is one of the languages I'm best with, but another might be better suited depending on what theme the contest will be.

I look forward to seeing your entry.

I hope you do do yours in Delphi as I would really like to see more Delphi Games being developed.
