Signed for SH. I am not sure if I will be able to finish this time, but well, worth a try. Most likely I will request a free day for Friday at job to have some more time. -- |

Are previous TINS rules also effected by the removal of previous speedhack rules? -- |

Just a note, we have #SpeedHack on FreeNode IRC set up for chatting, and we will have it open throughout SH2k5. Join up to see a live countdown to the event, and to chat. I encourage all SpeedHack entrants to join the channel during the competition as well |

ReyBrujo, want to revive the '4.0 vs 4.2 in speedhack' flame war ? |

Nah. I will use the minimun from Allegro, and keep the deprecated errors around. -- |

Is it just me or are there too many bonus rules that say `your game must...'? |

Your game must have that for the bonus to apply -- |

The Act of Leonardo is really good too. the Acts of Bodhisattva and Goat have been used in previous Speedhacks, IIRC. I see the Acts as extra things you can add once the program is done, they're not rules to follow inside the game itself. -R |

Hmmm, this SpeedHack thing sounds fun. I'd like to try it out, but seeing as I can't finish a game that I've been working on for 3 months I find it hard to believe that I could finish one in two days. Ahh well. The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. |

Quote: but seeing as I can't finish a game that I've been working on for 3 months I find it hard to believe that I could finish one in two days. That's the thing. In three months, you can think you can make an RPG (you're wrong, of course, which is why you never finish it). In two days, you know that you can't, so you already aim for something smaller. Say, Frogger. |

Yeah, that's a good point. Well, maybe I'll give it a go. I guess it will be a nice test of my skills. The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. |

You can make an RPG, at least, if it's an old rogue-like one -- |

Actually, there is a 7DRL competition, which translates to "7-days Rogue-like". Some are really interesting considering the short development time And I must agree with Evert - I have yet to find a really good bonus rule. I rated those that I considered bearable "good" to avoid the really bad ones --------------------------- |

An opposite of wind could be sucking or inhaling. The trouble with programmers is that they can be quite uncreative which makes SpeedHack rules seem unbearable. |

I just noticed lots of absences in the entrants list. X-G, gnolam, Mark Robson, many entrants from last Speedhack and last TINS. Well, there's still time for them to show up. -R |

I don't think X-G took part in last year's speedhack, not sure about gnolam or Mark Robson. I'm just hoping for some good rules. A few times some have come up previously that I had no interest it.. |

What was that, you're going to submit an RPG? Quote: For example - "Your game must feature wind as a key element of gameplay.". Posibble ways of reversing it - "Your game can't feature wind as an element of gameplay.", "Your game can't feature wind as a key element of gameplay.". Both are hardly a restriction at all... "Your game must feature the absence of wind as a key element of gameplay." Leading to the idea: the Winds are imprisoned by an evil villain and you need to release them (by playing pong or something - be creative). You get the idea. The idea of the Acts is that you can bend the rules if you are very creative, it promotes original thinking and creativity. |

Act of Frog If the entire game is drawn in shades of putrid green with sound effects of belching frogs then the game qualifies for an act of Frog and become except from all other rules. If more than one game attempts an Act of Frog then they must be pitted against each other in a savage game of Sticky frog sumo wrestling to determine the winner. |

Any word on if Johan Peitz is going to do graphics for us this year? |

If they happen to be spun I will gladly add some clarification if needed.
