The final* Speedhack binary package for Windows is ready:

* I'll put alleg42.dll in it later...

I was starting on a package for OS X, but it was just not worth the effort. There is also a source package available:

Voting details will be up later today.

Cool! ;D

[Edit] By the way the sources and object files of the ghost game, by Juvinious are included in the binaries zip. Did you forget to remove those or there was a reason to left them there?

How do I vote? What do the columns in the voting page mean?

Thanks. It's because I was using IE (the only browser on my Dads computer [the only Windows computer in the house]). I didn't know how to submit the spreadsheet. But now I realise you don't have to.

Install FireFox FTW! Or just do your voting from your linux box (compile the binaries yourself :o)

Installing lots of libraries and removing them afterwards again can be a pain in the ass!

Why remove them afterwards. I've never removed a library that I've installed. That's kind of... um, pointless?

And if he runs a real linux distro, most libs should be easy to install via the packaging system.

That's what I did. Out of 33 games I was eventually able to play only about 18 or 19. Only two or three didn't compile (although some required minor fixes) but quite a few crashed on startup or soon after.

I noted that Nicanor Bakero game was left out from the windows binaries.
Analyzing the sources, I noted that the author included a compiled executable inside the media folder (probably he is the only person who could compile it).

Maybe the author just messed up the folders before submitting, or forget some files, which is indeed sad.

Lots of entries this time...

But the thing that impresses me the most is that so many used windowed mode. Applauds for that.
There were however some with fullscreen that made fudge of my desktop.

I decided to run the binaries on my Dads box (I can't be bothered compiling that many, plus I can't be bothered installing the libraries), but submitted my vote from the linux box.
