I'm going to try to enter my first Ludum Dare. It's a 48 hour game development competition. Obviously, that is an incredibly short time frame to create a game from scratch. So in order to prepare, I've decided to test what I can actually accomplish in two days.
Diamond Hunter is what I came up with. It's a very simple puzzle game where you must collect all diamonds to win. You'll also need to find certain items to get past some obstacles.
I kept it simple so code problems were not an issue, graphics not too ambitious, and music is a looped chord progression that I hope doesn't get too tiring to listen to. Overall, I think it turned out great. I'd definitely like to do another test run.
Language: Java 7 (Java 2D)
IDE: Eclipse
Graphics: Photoshop
Sound: Magical 8Bit Plug
Game:

I'm watching your video tutorial "Java 2D Game Programming Platformer Tutorial" on youtube to see if i can finish a project for this semester (a plataformer game using AI)
Thank you for your help.
