SpeedHack 2011
Matthew Leverton

Now that Allegro 5 has been released, I will hold a SpeedHack as promised. >:(

Please respond to this informal poll. Which time frame is better?

  • March - April

  • April - May

  • May - June

  • June - July

  • July - August

I'll later have a more specific weekend poll depending on which pair of months are the best.

I'm assuming only A5 entries right?

Mark Oates

Anytime from April on should work for me.

Matthew Leverton

I was very concerned. :o

Possibly. Definitely Allegro only, like always.

Dario ff

July - August seems ideal to me since it'd fit with my winter 2 week vacation. :)

GameCreator

Any month but I'd like to work with A4.2 because I don't want to learn 5.

SiegeLord

Anything but March - April.

kenmasters1976

July - August sounds fine.

Mokkan

Looking forward to it.

Johan Halmén

Timorg

April - June :D

Slartibartfast

March-April is best for me, though even under optimal conditions I'm not sure if I'd be able to produce anything of note, I entered last SpeedHack and ended up with nothing :X

Fishcake

June - July or July - August~ ;D

Jonny Cook

January works best for me.

Neil Roy

The last time I done a Speedhack was back in 1999 was it? For the first one? Wow, time flies eh? I don't know if I would me motivated enough to do that again.

Bruce Perry

Yeah, the first one was in 1999. The first one I participated in was the second one, and that was in 2001. Aside from the year when there were two a week apart, between us we've participated in every SpeedHack :D

My preferences:

May - June
June - July
July - August

BAF

1999, what was that, 4 speedhacks ago? :P

Bruce Perry

You're kidding, right? There've been somewhere in the region of 10 ;)

BAF

I was just taking a cheap shot at the fact that there will have elapsed almost two years between speedhacks. :P

Bruce Perry

I see - too obscure for me :)

Matthew Leverton

It will be in June or July.

I will put up a "pick the weekend" poll to decide the exact date.

amarillion

Cool, I can probably make it in June-July.

In general it's not so bad though, according to my statistics:

Nov 99 +14 Jan 01 +15 Apr 02 +0 Apr 02 +13 May 03 +13
Jun 04 +14 Aug 05 +12 Aug 06 +13 Sep 07 +22 Jul 09 +23 Jun 11

The official time between speedhacks always was 13 months and the average now is 13.9 months if the next one is in June.

Speaking of Speedhack, how do I get the Windows binaries for the previous years? There only seems to be a link to the 2009 ones on the entrants page, even after I change the year in that combo box on the left.
