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 .

I have to apologize. I was just skimming through when I decided to join up. Then I went back and read the posts thoroughly and saw that the site was up and running. I feel dumb now, but oh well; you can only get smarter by feeling dumber cause you learn from your mistakes .

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:

Whoever's in charge of the IdeaHack website: On the site, it says my team does not have a name, but we have found a name: "IdeaHackers." Could someone please update the site to reflect this? |

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. [ September 08, 2001: Message edited by: Destined Entertainment ]

Just a thought... what is there to prevent people from starting early? There should be a set style of game, I could've started a wekk ago and nobody would be any smarter... -Steve __________________________________________________ |

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!

sicgamemaker: Allegro is a portable game library. That means we should be able to compile your program, written in MSVC, on any platform supported by Allegro (DOS, Linux and some others). However, you'll have to be careful how you write it. This shouldn't be a problem for you in terms of hardware support, since your background is DOS. It says on the page that we will make reasonable efforts to resolve unforeseen portability issues. However, we will not resample all your sprites and adjust all your hard-coded coordinates so that your game can run in a supported graphics mode. There is some good information in the Allegro docs. Look at the sections towards the end. -- |

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? |

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? -Steve __________________________________________________ |

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. -- Play my game: Frasse and the Peas of Kejick |

Why am I still not listed on the IdeaHack web page? I've both sent the mail and announced my participation on this forum. (Less than 13 hours left until start...) -- Play my game: Frasse and the Peas of Kejick |
