Ludum Dare

Ludum Dare is a popular, online game development competition that takes place over a weekend, typically involving a few days of focused creation. Participants, often indie developers and hobbyists, challenge themselves to design and build a complete game from scratch within a set time frame, usually 48 or 72 hours. The event encourages creativity, rapid problem-solving, and experimentation. At its conclusion, the community plays, evaluates, and provides feedback on the submitted games. Ludum Dare fosters collaboration, learning, and innovation in game development, making it a dynamic environment for both beginners and experienced developers to showcase their skills.
