Ludum Dare is a competition that challenges entrants to create a game solo and from scratch in 48-hours.
Ludum Dare #22 starts on the 16th/17th December (timezone depending).

Anyone in?

Dwarven blood types are not A, B, AB, O but Ale, Wine, Beer, Rum, Whisky and so forth.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

I'm far to lazy and slow moving to make anything in 48 hours. 

I had a hard enough time with those 7 day roguelike contests.   :P

I wonder if Notch is doing this again. Probably not, as he's on vacation.

By creating a gobstopper that never loses its flavor he broke thermodynamics
Maybe it's parasitic. It never loses its flavor because you eventually die from having your nutrients stolen by it.

Loved watching Notch make his game the first time around, I really really really want to learn to code.

I've taken the warmup challenge, even though I probably won't make it to the compo itself.
First theme to come to my mind was Swirl, considering either something space related(like, galactic spirals), or something about hurricanes.

EDIT: Hurricanes it was, or rather whirlpools, hence the name Viking Whirlpools
also C++/SDL(if at all)

I'm not sure what to use yet. Game Maker was my frontrunner, but I've never been able to get very far in a project without running into problems with the software, so now I'm thinking Python with the Pygame library. The problem with that is that I've never had any kind of success compiling Python code to an EXE.
