Is the 1st description what the recipient most of all would want?

It depends what order they entered the descriptions in. It's pretty much arbitrary.

Is there a way to see the score of the themes I got? (Just out of curiosity.)

The average score of the rules you received? There's no way right now; I suppose I could add it to the task page though.

same here, and here-here!

I made sure my wishes could be combined in to one game, if you just use your imagination a little bit.

I'm also wondering if the zips are supposed to include copies of all external libraries...? For example, Boost.

Just put the stuff necessary in the 2MB source pack so it compiles and runs. But noone says it should look pretty. You can just downscale all the files, then place your real resources on the game pack. I had to fit my CH09 entry like that, and the game barely fit in the 10MB limit.

I've been thinking over the night my game idea, and it's already laid out. Shame I don't really have the time to code with 2 finals on the way, but I'll try to sneak in some graphics and audio work in my breaks.

Aw man, I'm trying to create this game as quick as possible with the limited time and still, I'm over-engineering.

I have the coolest black screen ever.
With an enormous amount of code doing nothing at the moment .

But coding a game for 10 people on a small community to play it is way more important.

Don't worry, I'm going for a really simple entry. Should be able to code it after my finals. Heck, I already got 72 bitmaps done, and I think I'll just need a couple more.

I didn't mean I'd post screen shots or what I am doing litrally. Just so you know how ready I am.

Yes, The internet is back on so I can now get the rest done but this is what's happened so far

• Day 1: Wrote the main core for creating the display and loading resources. I also got the player movement down.

• Day 2: Finished the game play and it's now fully playable. Also added working menu and credits screen.

• Day 3: Not done anything at all today as I've been busy but will be working on the graphics right now. I am useless at making sprites so the game will look terrible however, the menu and credits will look a lot better

At least I will be able to submit a game this time since the SpeedHack 2011 I dropped out.

Oh and I like the wishes I was given. Was it randomly chosen by a script or was they done one by one?

Append: I forgot to mention that I had fun with BMP's being so large and had to settle on PNG's. A bit less code and better effects though using PNG's Alpha channel

10 % done.

I have a great opportunity to discuss with my son. I explained what I'm struggling with and he had some ideas of how I could solve my problems. But most of all I solved the problems by myself, thanks to the discussion we had. Like doctor House.
