[Sgdc] More Ludum Dare Stuff

[Kenneth Goff]

As you all should know by now, Ludum Dare 22 (http://www.ludumdare.com)
will be this upcoming weekend. I encourage you all to participate if
possible, and remember, you don't have to be around all weekend. We will be
in our room, Buchard 127, all weekend. Well, most of the weekend, starting
at 9:00 pm Friday, December 16th, until 9:00pm Sunday December 18th (unless
anyone is doing the 72 hour jam, which goes until Monday night).

If you do plan on participating, then take this next week to prepare. Set
up your libraries, practice working with your tools, and make sure you know
how to make a distributable copy of your game. Also, set up an account on
the blog (http://www.ludumdare.com/compo) and make a post saying that
you're entering and what you're using. You can look on the LD blog for
examples. Most of the posts for the next week until Friday will be this.
Also, Voting on themes will start on Monday, and everyday it is a new round
of voting.
