First things first: I promise to try to limit the related posts in the future and I apologize to the legions of l337 coders for the continued coverage. Right, now, on to todays topic: “Colour like that” (Awright, punning on my own blog post titles!). While watching the livestream of Minicraft, I was intrigued by […]
Last weekend was the 22nd Ludum Dare 48 hour game comp. Again Notch livestreamed it, again I watched pretty much all of it, and again I learned a lot. But having seen Notch in action before, this time I could afford to take my eyes off the code from time to time, and spend a […]

Since having a chat about what I learned from watchin’ live coding, I’ve received buckets of emails ‘n’ tweets asking for links to the videos… After an epic google search of 5 minutes I’ve collected them all and aggregated them in this one happy place. Someone coded Prelude of the Chambered for the Lundum Dare […]
“Bit of advice: if you want a role model, pick an old guy. By the time you grow up, they’re dead” – Bob’s Burgers Six hundred games: invented, designed, and coded – in 2 days. That was the Lundum Dare game competition #21, held from the 19th to the 22nd of August. Hoards of game […]
