- Arkeus 13y agoAnd that's just the people who have submitted early. With more than 14 hours left, that number will likely be well north of 1000 (though probably not many are using Dart like Notch).

- Symmetry 13y agoThere'll be more like 10,000 doing it at near the end of January (possibly me if my girlfriend manages to drag me in this year). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Game_Jam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Game_Jam

- lnanek2 13y agohaha, yeah, i remember having to learn all the blending functions and about render order for transparency, etc. writing my first open gl game. he's a better coder than me, but I think he would be better off looking up some sample code or a text book sometimes
