| TINS 2021 prize pool |

For those of you who are on the TINS mailing list (And if not, why aren't you? TINS is open to receiving donations: https://tins.amarillion.org/support. I have already received several very generous donations, and I can definitely promise that we will have an interesting prize pool for TINS 2021. On the mailing list, there were some worries that money will lead to politics and drama. I have that worry too, so I want to continue the discussion here, talk it through and see what we can do about it. It might help to write up a good "terms & conditions". This would include e.g. a clause that I will act as final arbiter in case of disputes, but that I will also exclude myself from the prize pool. But this also opens up the opportunity to dream up fun new things. For example, how do you feel about a TINS T-shirt? Winners get it for free, the rest will have to order & support the cause!

T-shirts are a great idea. The primary concern I'd have would be legal threats. Where there's money involved that might necessarily involve the law where it would otherwise have stayed out of it. It might also vary by jurisdiction both of the hosts and clients. There probably isn't enough money to hire a lawyer to answer these questions though so it's probably also not worth discussing (unless one of us happens to be a lawyer or happens to be willing to hire one). I wonder if it will make better sense to put this conversation off until we come to that bridge (which is assuming we even will, which is perhaps premature). Append: Cryptocurrency might be a neat way to do the money transfer, however, I am still a newbie unable to find a trustworthy exchange to buy in... Which unless somebody is aware of a solution to that problem may plague everyone. And without an exchange cryptocurrency is of limited utility. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

Weird, does Paypal give any info on what is wrong? I hope I didn't make a mistake and ended up on some sort of list I could still sign up for patreon, that would give you more choice. The only "downside" is that patreon expects recurring donations by default. Which you can stop at any moment, but it's a slight hassle. Edgar Reynaldo said: Been there, done that
Nice, I had completely forgotten about that thread. That's a good source of inspiration for T-shirt ideas -- |

I suggest T-shirts (or whatever "merch") point to Allegro's specific strengths: cross-platform, tried and tested with a rich history, hardware-accelerated, supported file types, etc. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

KISS It should be simple. A title, a logo, and a website, with maybe one cool thing added somewhere on the back.

Let's park the ideas for the T-shirt design for a moment. I'm currently improving the TINS site itself. Each entry now gets its own description page. You can edit your own entry's description (if you want, you can do so right now, you can get there from the Entries table, or from your user page). A useful place to gather links, post-competition fixes, etc. Some tags are allowed (such as a b, s, i, img) and youtube links are converted to embedded videos. I eventually will add these capabilities to the logs as well. And look at the !gasp! icons... {"name":"612856","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/d\/c\/dc0fbb691855116a2ecfb7130b164ee8.png","w":1114,"h":1754,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/d\/c\/dc0fbb691855116a2ecfb7130b164ee8"} User pages already existed, but I've embellished it with thumbnails for each game: {"name":"612858","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/0\/f\/0fdbed49126116475c4650956c2a788e.png","w":1114,"h":1824,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/0\/f\/0fdbed49126116475c4650956c2a788e"} I haven't addressed the styling of the user pages yet, that will be the next step. -- |

I have some games without pictures, but they are in the log of each game. How do you retrieve which picture have to be used ? "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

Good question. Right now, the screenshots were copied from the logs with this script. For each entry/entrant, it picks the most recent log post with an image. 1#!/usr/bin/python3
2
3import os
4import django
5
6os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "tins_site.settings")
7django.setup()
8
9from competitions.models import Post, Competition, Entrant, Entry
10
11def getLatestImageForEntrant(e):
12 posts = Post.objects.filter (entrant=e).order_by('date').reverse()
13 for p in posts:
14 if p.screenshot:
15 return p.screenshot
16 return None
17
18for e in Entrant.objects.all():
19 entry = e.teamEntry
20 if entry:
21 if entry.imagefile:
22 pass
23 else:
24 screenshot = getLatestImageForEntrant(e)
25 if screenshot:
26 entry.imagefile = screenshot
27 entry.save()
In the future, I will make it so you can select/upload the screenshot by yourself. If you don't want to wait for that, just send me a screenshot that you want uploaded in a PM and I'll do so manually. -- |

) you'll already have seen the announcement:
If you were in the EU I could think of a few alternatives, but for the USA, I have no idea. Do you have suggestions?
