I wish I'd only understand half of what you've written you dang code obfuscator

wooooooooooo

Yeah, I agree. These rules work well together.

Good luck and have fun, guys!

What exactly must our 250Kb zip contain....not the actual libraries I'm guessing, just a note of what ones we used??

The source code to your game and to anything that can't fairly be called a third party library. And of course any binary resources (images, music) that are required to play the game.

Ah, see I thought that was the case with SpeedHack as well... its been so long

I think its a good idea though, to have it out there.

You are allowed to be "creative" with the rules.

Those rules are pretty sweet. I missed the registration window, but I don't have a lot of time to spare this weekend

Blast!

Good luck everyone!

The problem for me isn't really the rules, its the date. However, if the rules were favorable for me (i.e. allowed for something simple enough to fit the time frame and yet still enjoyable for me to make) I would have tried making a simple game. The same rules but a month from now would also see me making a game.

Yay! I'm underway! It's 3am here now though, and I'm tired and inebriated so am calling it quits for tonight; I think my original idea of 100 screens might be a little far fetched, so I'm sure I WILL finish and submit an entry, but it'll probably be like 10-15 screens or summat. Anyhoo, here is a snippet of my progress so far, I'm enjoying myself!:

Why is al_get_default_mixer() returning 0? Does allegro not supply one? I thought it had to for al_play_sample...

Still don't have sound playing (and its stuck in the al_rest(0.016) below) :

   global_mixer = al_create_mixer(44100 , ALLEGRO_AUDIO_DEPTH_FLOAT32 , ALLEGRO_CHANNEL_CONF_2);
   al_set_default_mixer(global_mixer);
   al_set_mixer_playing(global_mixer , true);
   
   PlaySoundWait("sounds/Hello.ogg");
   PlaySoundWait("sounds/Hello.ogg");
   PlaySoundWait("sounds/Hello.ogg");
   PlaySoundWait("sounds/IsThisThingOn.ogg");
   PlaySoundWait("sounds/WelcomeToRogueSalesman.ogg");

void PlaySoundWait(std::string file) {

      ALLEGRO_SAMPLE* sound = al_load_sample(file.c_str());
      if (!sound) {return;}

      ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE* instance = al_create_sample_instance(sound);
      al_attach_sample_instance_to_mixer(instance , al_get_default_mixer());
      al_set_sample_instance_playing(instance , true);
      while (al_get_sample_instance_playing(instance)) {al_rest(.016);}
      

      al_destroy_sample(sound);
   }

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong still?
