contest 5<=mb

do you need to include d3dx9_30 because its more then 2 mb

i hope i can make it before the 15e

thx flits

The entire published folder has to be smaller than or equal to 5MB. Don't include any files that aren't copied to the published folder automatically - they aren't needed.
I have received only 3 entries until now, so everyone has the chance to win a prize

another question is it posible that i first send you the first file and then when i have a big change i can send that before 15e so i dont forget to uplaod it before 15e

Sure. Btw, I use Sunbird as a daily planner / reminder - maybe you should try it as well.

I don't care anymore about all this...
I worked hard on last contest and won... nothing, how predictable. If I can't enter a bit edited MiniPH, I won't enter at all. (I'm currently making a game for 2d competition, because the prize is more materialistic - 1000$...).
Deadline is 15th?..

Vad gone bad

Yes, the deadline is on the 15th of November 2008. We've only got 4 entries so far, so your chances are quite big!

At the end of 15th, 23:59? As long as it is the 15th anywhere in the world? :P
I hope to make it on time.

I'm also interested in the exact time of the deadline, as I'm away part of the weekend, but haven't finished my project by now.

Erm, well if I publish the game, and want to play it, it asks for d3dx9_30. But the publisher does not include it. I have to do that manually. And acknex.dll and d3dx9_30.dll are 4.6 MB together...

Yes, the demos are accepted as long as they are sent on the 15th of November 2008, before it is 23:59 anywhere in the world.
You don't need to include d3dx9_30 in the archive.

ive already emailed my entry ,but i would like some confirmation it has been recieved before the 15th

incase of email mistake or something

btw what is the count on the entries now?

I send an email confirmation for each entry; I've sent yours a few hours ago. We've got 5 contest entries now.

thanks george

"And so we go" :P
Yeasterday I noticed that not entering at last something will be truly stupid, so I'm insanely coding a turn-based strategy game: over 400 lines per 2 days!
Now it's technicaly done, but I'll try to get AI engine inside till end of today.

It's 2.5 hours till the end of it?

AFAIK you have time until it's the 15th all over the world, so until 12PM GMT.

So what time I still have?
EDIT:
Maybe I'm acting a bit stupid but I can't think of a way of discovering that...

EDIT: I understood you question wrong.

You still have about 15 and a half hours.

i've sent a letter, wait for confirmation

I'm nearly done with AI engine. Maybe simple for turn-based RTS, but has main 2 things that it should do to make the game:
1. "Purge the weak" tactics (always will try to focus fire on the weakest unit).
2. Not much tactical, but movement and skill(attack) usage.
As always, I'll sumbit the download link in same time with letter.

i like mechs :))))

If it isn't the 16th of November yet (in your country) you can still send demos.

And so, here we go!
demo: http://willhostforfood.com/files3/2261864/battlesystem.cd.zip
dx9: http://willhostforfood.com/files3/3850069/d3dx9_30.zip
(actualy its now not fun for me, because it's 1:35AM here and I have to do lots of things tomorrow...)
Controls: Mouse & Keyboard.
Mouse:
Mouse left: click.
Mouse right + hovering: scroll view.
Mouse middle(press the wheel) + hovering: rotate view.
Mouse middle + Mouse right + hovering: change distance.
Select your units (at the top of screen at start of game), do actions, destroy your enemy. Watch your energy points. When unit is out of them, actions will become unavaible.Then press [space] to end turn and give the AI time for action.

It's not entry yet, I'll add some more features tomorrow. (well, actualy should say "today"). But I'd like to get feedback now...

If it is in my country 8 am now, can I send my entry at 11 pm in my country?

It's interesting that some guys can script cool games but arn't able to read the clock

it was 8:45 am, but can somebody answer my question?

It's now 10.22 am in Germany. So i have 12 hours and 30 minutes left?

That's the latest timezone in the world. When the clock hits "Sun 00:00" in Honolulu, it's time .

Hi Community,

and that's my entry. It's a early Alpha but it should work so far. For the future i want to include all sorts of powerups, many secrets, maybe enemys, better splotchs but for now, I'm proud about this version.


Projekt: Splotch you the way
Version: Alpha 1
developing time: 6 days
5 Level included

Start the Game with the "Blackwhite.exe"

5 level you must challange.
The Goal is, find the black exit as fast as you can. The Problem is, the world ist completly white. Your only chance is to shoot at the ground/walls that you can see where the way is. Stay alert and don't fall into the holes.
Good luck!

The controlles are:

Arrow Keys = Moving
Mouse = Aiming
Holding left mouse button = shooting

Thats it.

Have fun.

This game is a challenge.. the challenge is to land the plane on the runnway (straight ahead)..
You will start above an overcast cloud facing the airport.

Then you must pitch down about 5-10 degrees and descend until your herizontal ILS bar centers on green.

You will also have to turn and alight yourself with the vertical ILS.

If you maintain perfict ILS alighnment, you will find yourself at the runway in no time.
The plane is already flying but if you want more speed, hold F3, to slow down, hold space.
The controls are the curser keys.
When you land on the runnway, hold SPACEBAR to stop, you can steer with the curser keys.
When you come to a complete stop on the runnway, mission accomplished.

i cant wait contest's start :)))

Splotch is such a brilliant idea! Is it the finished version of Unfinished Swan Project ?

Cheers!

No No. I think Swan will get much better
I have the idea from them. But my goal is to develop "splotch.." beyond of the contest with more colours, powerups, level, secrets .. when i have more time

It's was perfect for the 5MB contest and for using the ent_decal feature.

Well, the contest entries are in.... Now what?

And now we wait.

We have received about 20 entries, so you will have to wait until I prepare and upload all the demos.

WOOOW. 20 entrys!!!

he-he, some days ago there were only 5

Yea but the very last minute is when most will be submited I would think, I completed mine within 10 minutes of the deadline, took me 5 minutes to setup a web server on my own computer to host the file on, then another to post my entry on this thread, I had only a few minutes to spare!

I can't wait to see who wins first place! I've uploaded and tryed all the game entries posted in this thread and I gotta say, I think splotch might beat me lol.

Can I give reference to manual of the program which participates in contest?

Sure, you can post a link to the manual.

Thank you for answer.
