I didn't enter last year's SpeedHack because I was afraid of not being up to the challenge. Actually, I may not be up to the challenge now either, but if I don't give it a try now, I'll never enter any SpeedHack/TINS. Let's hope the rules turn out to be kind.

Quote: I didn't enter last year's SpeedHack because I was afraid of not being up to the challenge. I had the same worry last year for Speedhack, that I wouldn't be up to completing an entry and that I was way out of my league. Although I may have been right concerning myself, you shouldn't let that discourage you.

Is that so? I was hoping for better luck... I don't really mind, though, as long as you guys have good ideas. I could certainly use some help with music for my entry... -- |

Sure, I'll write down your order, would you like fries with that? By the way, I just found my programming sl... friend! A friend of mine who just started studying CS the other day and never heard about allegro before stood up for the challenge. He'll need good training in these late days if we want any results, but hey, this is not about the results, but about the fun! That means, I probably won't have time to do graphics for other people. Music is my speciality, I can do Anyone else? ---------- |

Shoot... I would join, but I lost my artist! He moved to Portland... The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. |

No, but my professors really want me to. Anyway, I hope I'll do really well in TINS.

I'm sure you'll do ok. Last year's Speedhack was fun, and even if I don't much like my entry I did manage to finish it.

Great, who is he, has he signed up for TINS yet? Tell him to sign up for a.cc as well so we can prep him for the competition -- |

72 hours projects have a higher probability of being completed. __________________________________________________ |

Compared to projects outside the competition you mean? I never thought about that. The TINS/SH drop-out rates are actually quite low if you look at it that way. -- |

Signed up. This will be the first time I (maybe) complete a project since my Tron game at school, so I'm excited. -- |

Well, I wasn't gonna enter this year since I've sort of moved on to C#, but then I realized there's Allegro for C# too. So, I'll give it a shot. Also, is there any possibility of TINS/SpeedHack t-shirts in the future? It'd be a good way to spread the word and raise some money, geek cred aside. --- |

I would buy one of those t-shirt. "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

I like the idea of giving away some merchandise, though. We just need some more interesting merchandise in there. --- |

Sadly that's all the stuff cafepress has. And if anyone wants to straighten out the stuff on there to make it look better, let me know and I'll give you access -- |

Allegro C# sucks. Any wrappers I've tried for it mutate the API and aren't even consistent in it. Differing naming and capitalization conventions, etc. It was a mess last time I checked. |

Given this is the 5th TINS, why not have a special prize for the best TINS entry over the last five years? Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

Just as I feared. I guess I could try making my own wrapper... --- |

Wow, it's all of the items you could ever want... with a tiny, tiny A on them?
