I have not started yet. I did not consider parttaking until now. Haven't had an awful lot of spare time because of tests this week. I shall see if I can throw something together in two days. After all: this is a contest for simple, yet fun games.

Fun yet with a big replay value!

Oh that might be an issue with the game I had in mind. It's a puzzle game, so it needs a lot of levels in order to keep it fun and challenging.

Oh? A puzzle game? Why not? I have am arcade game. This contest sure will be full of ideas and games of different genres!

Lol. I will see what I can do in such a short time. It's likely going to be a complete disaster. Maybe it's going to be somewhat playable. Who knows?

Yeah I think that is what was suggested for Basic coders.

You need to turn it in BEFORE then, not ON that time. I've also turned in my entry already.

Nice to hear guys. Often with those contests we have promising entries that never get in, so I'm happy to hear that you managed to do it in time.

Also I can't stress this enough: If you submit at 11:59 PM, e-mail lag can happen and you might very well end up with an entry submitted at 12:15 AM or so. I even saw e-mails arrive two or three hours after I sent them before.

Also, to all the Nitacku's in this world, 11:59 PM isn't noon time, so no, don't submit your entry 12 hours late. :P

Lol, I got mine in yesterday and I found this morning that some things don't work properly lol. Just minor graphical problems, but still, that is not serious.

Post by: Keoni29 on November 06, 2013, 02:45:06 pm
I was working on a second game for the contest in case tipover wouldn't be as fun as I hoped, but I wasn't really sure where I was going with the gameplay of that other game. Something with a jetpack and lava. I only had the jetpack part done. Might make it into a full game and release it after the contest.

I submitted my entry :D hopefully it'll have enough fun in it for you guys ;D

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on November 06, 2013, 03:28:12 pm
IIRC, once you submit your entry you can no longer submit any update even before the deadline, right? It might be best to double-check your files to make sure everything is in  functional state before submitting them, just in case there are missing dependencies or a bug.

Post by: Hayleia on November 06, 2013, 04:12:15 pm
Yeah, I think I read that on Caleb's topic, this is why I didn't fix those graphical problems yet. But for some reason I was convinced that yesterday was the 6th of November lol so I rushed a bit.

Mailing i. Can I send it in a .7z, file? THe gif make the zip wieght more than 6MB...
Title: Re: Contest 2013 Calculator Gaming Roots - Prizes and Deadline
Post by: willrandship on November 06, 2013, 05:07:49 pm
You can't email a 6 MB file?

Your best bet would probably be to lose the gif. If you really want a screenshot, lower the framerate and resolution.
