Global Game Jam: Jam out a Game in 48 Hours

How would it feel to create and share my own game is a thought that slips through the CoC student's brain frequently. To take a brilliant idea, make it real and watch people interact with your creation. But for the aspiring gamemaker it takes more than just inspiration to get things going. A lack of time, a noobish level of know-how in sound/ graphics/ programming, a perfectionist's desire to make this the Best Game Ever and a lack of any kind of time constraint can quickly deflate plans.
