[gamecompo] Ludum Dare 18 – August 20th-22nd Weekend

Hey all,

My sincere apologies for not sending this out sooner. I took an
impromptu vacation a couple weeks back that kinda threw-off the early
announcement plans.

Anyways, Ludum Dare 18 will be August 20th-22nd weekend.

[gamecompo] PyWeek #10 has started: the theme is “Wibbly-wobbly”!

Richard Jones — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 00:34:37 +0000

The PyWeek challenge (http://pyweek.org/) has started! It:

1. Invites entrants to write a game in one week from scratch either as
an individual or in a team,
2. Is intended to be challenging and fun,
3. Will hopefully increase the public body of game tools, code and expertise,
4. Will let a lot of people actually finish a game, and
5. May inspire new projects (with ready made teams!)

See you there,

Richard
