Ludum Dare 21 winners

Cool, I got 39th. Ludum Dare is always a blast, I encourage anyone with even the slightest interest in game dev to give it a go sometime. It's an awesome excuse to write some really ugly code and not feel guilty about it.<p>It's great to see LD growing so fast, my first one (#16) had ~120 entries, this time there were almost 600.

I'm a little surprised that Notch's was only at 13... That was a pretty good game!<p>I'll have to go back and find out what was even better.<p>This competition was a real push for me. I've been wanting to get into game programming for far too long, and never took the plunge. I'm hoping to be ready to create at least a crappy game during the next one. Of course, that means making many crappy games before then. :)

Flash still dominates. No JS it seems.

I have just boundless respect for these games. I can understand how the code could be done in 48 hours, but how to tweak the gameplay in that time is just amazing.

I'm sorry Prelude didn't win... I feel a connection to it even though all I did was watch him code it. Awesome though, now I know how to kill my morning.
