I'll join up for it, but I'm beginning to think that this competition might need to be rescheduled since the site isn't up yet and the competition dates will be upon us before you know it. Still I love challenges so I'm in .

It is going very good by now.
There are 13 participants by now ( 9 individual and 4 in a team)
I have updated the page with the new people and their requirements.

For my own good I post here the webaddress, so I don't have to go back a page and search around for it again:
Idea Hack Site

Goodbytes, I'm maintaining the page.
We'll get a page with proper design very soon, maybe even today, I have the layout in my computer right now, but it has no text on it, bdavis will fill in that and I'll upload it then.
I'll fix our teams name anyway

I've seen the slow improvements that you've been making to the website Ook and I'd have to say that it's coming along great . And on another note; I'm going to use a few ideas from IdeaHack and make my own competition. I'll keep everyone posted on what it is and when I'll have the site up and running. I'm making the rules right now and revising them a lot to make them a little different from yours. I plan to make it DOS specific like IdeaHack and prohibit the use of conio.h, but I've got to set the rules and everything before I post the title, competition time, etc. Hope to see Ook, bdavis, and everyone else to become entrants of that competition . I've revised the rules about ten times now and am running out of things to add so I might have them up on a different post in a few days or so. I'll post a new thread and post a comment in here to make sure that everyone sees the competition. I do have a few things set for the competition, but I'm keeping quiet until I can get everything as final as possible. Sorry for the secrecy, but it makes it harder to figure out what the competition will be . I'll keep everyone informed.

Ok it's official the games for this are going to be the weirdest games in the world . Just playing. With the amount of talent we have in this competition the games will be fun and interesting to play (hopefully ).

I've signed up and added the following requirement: The game must feature at least one black hat.

I'm not sure if I want to do it alone or as part of a team, so if anyone want an artist (and musician) as a teammate, let me know! (You can see some samples of my style at my homepage.)

*** to anyone that can help me, but more for the IdeaHack people ***

im in, but i got a few problems....i have windows 2000 professional, and it sucks. for some reason my once magnificant dos djgpp/allegro games SIGSEV on me all the time, so im trying to learn MSVC+allegro. do you have any problems with me entering the contest with MSVC windows version of a game? or am i gonna have to erase winblows 2000 and replace it with 98?

im up for this competiton, sounds like fun. BUT i have win 2000, and i cant program dos games with it, would it matter if i used MSVC 6.0 + allegro and i did it that way?

In light of the terrorist attack on the world trade center... should we still have the contest?
[edit :
It has come to my attention that what I wrote above sounds like I'm asking for the competition to be cancelled. That's not what I want. At the time, I thought maybe it should be postponed, but I don't feel the same way now. (call me mr. moodswing ) ]

Heh, the attack has given me a whole new idea for a game, "Middle Eastern Terrorist Killa". The enemies are people like Hussein and Bin Laden. I don't have any webspace to upload my game to, is that a problem?

Then it's only about 27½ h left until it starts. I'm still interested in teaming up with someone if someone (that I want to work with) want to work with me. So, if you might be interested, let's talk about it!

If I don't team up with anyone I will participate alone.

12 hours til start by now...
