MinorHack Attack!

Here's a non-gameplay fix, just kind of makes it easier to read text (changing the offset of the cards).

On line 340 and 353 in the CARDS::init function, change the X = 10 to X = 50. Looks a lot better. ;)

FYI guys, you have 10 minutes to upload from the time the contest ends. I put it in the DB manually with that gameplay change.

Now I will compile them and upload binaries if nobody beats me to it. Also if you go to your entry page at any point in the future, you can upload a modified version and notes.

Once time was over, the "upload" link dissappeared for me. I'm using Opera.

Nice game, Kikaru. I got 40 points. :)

Attached. I had to change Krzysztof's entry in 2 places: #define M_PI 3.141592 and return 0; in game_logic. This is MSVC.

Thanks! :D I actually could have uploaded it about 10-15 min early, but I decided to use the time to fix some bugs, add a title screen, and make it look nicer in general.

I will probably make a full version of the game with some graphics, music, and a slightly better interface.

Also, how do we judge?

you missed part of my fix suggested above. That's okay. Like I said, it's not a gameplay issue. :)

Huh, missed the hack -- I thought the competition was happening at 6 EDT, 'cause it said 6 PM without saying the time zone, and I supposed CGames could read the local time zone info from a.cc ... also, I think that time used to be in EDT?
It still says "at 6:00 pm." without a time zone label -- you should probably label that.

You can make it a revised version :) Also I understand your problem. The upload link went away, but the form was still active. I will fix it ASAP. In the mean time, click here.

Krzysztof: You are so 1337.

Onewing: Cool game; playable.

Kikaru: Fun, and it has a title screen and lose screen. Nice. Small ambitions pay off, I suppose.

CGamesPlay: Your game is super awesome and you deserve a raise.

My ranking: Kikaru, Onewing, Krzyzstof.

It's a shame there can't be a tie, because Krzyzstof's entry is so cool that I would tie it with Onewing's. But Onewing's pulls ahead because it's got gameplay.

Oh, it looks like Derezo missed the compo again :P

You never logged in, so I wouldn't be able to read time zones from Allegro.cc even if I could read time zones from Allegro.cc if you logged in ;) The time zone info is on the site:

This is a list of the competitions that are currently scheduled to run. Times are in the time zone EDT. Click on the current competition for a countdown timer.

Shame we didn't have you. As the competition matures these problems will hopefully go away.

Clicking brings me to a "File Not Found" page. :-/

Anywho, wow, tough choices between these four entries. I feel everyone did exceptionally good. Although, I think I nailed the Slogan rule pretty good. :)

Anyway, my rankings go like this:

Kikaru, KK, CGamesPlay.

It was a tough choice. Kikaru ftw because the game was fun. I couldn't decide between KK and CG at all, in fact, I had to flip a quarter.

I would rank it: Onewing, CGamesPlay, KK.

Onewing: I liked the game! Though the top row of cards is oddly shifted...

CGamesPlay: your guy moved a little slow, and couldn't jump very high. But a cool idea nontheless.

KK: It was really neat maze-thing, but no objective or point. Nice idea though. :)

Unfortunately, I was unable to participate. I was forced to drive two hours, stand in a field for two hours, and then drive back home for two hours throughout the time of the competition. Oh well, I suppose there will be another soon enough.

Good thing you didn't participate then. You would have had 6 hours while we only had 1! :P

Onewing: That is because I am dumb and that was to edit my entry :) Yours.

Damn, I missed it... Well, there's always the next one! When is it, really? I say not same time, because then I'll have to miss it again...

Maybe a few hours earlier or later next time? :)

relpatseht: Don't worry about it ;)

Kikaru: Now remember, he has a full day :)

2 more things I want to add to the site: Zip file downloads for entire competitions, and automatic generation of Windows binaries. I have XMinGW installed on my home server, it's just a matter of setting up the link. Also I need to make sure those binaries will actually work ;)

Ron: You name a time that is good for you! One of the future plans I have for the site is the ability to "propose" a competition, and if a certain number of people "second" the competition, it will be automatically scheduled. But that is later.

People who download the binaries will make sure :)
As for a good time for the competetion... I'm afraid I'll only be available in the week after this one, beginning on Monday.

Okay, so you want it on the 29th or 30th, or 1st, at what time? You can suggest a week day but people might be unavailable.

Hmm, I did go to the MinorHack site and click something that took me back to the allegro.cc login page, the day before the Hack, IIRC. And I clicked login, and I believe I ended up back at the MinorHack site.

The time zone info is on the site:

Right now from my end the site looks like this:
{"name":"590187","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/5\/b\/5bec5c157cf7d26c66af40048758d922.png","w":902,"h":242,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/5\/b\/5bec5c157cf7d26c66af40048758d922"}590187
But then, at some point I did log in and enter EDT as my time zone.

edit: also, if I log out and log back in, the site sets my time zone back to UTC.

Baf: Update to php 5 :)

Zaphos: I don't know why it would do that! What it looks like is php understand EDT as a time zone but does not understand it to be UTC-4. I recommend America/New_York.

For personal clarification, right now, GMT is UTC+1, correct?

Thanks for telling me it happens on login, that let me fix it :) I knew something was up, but didn't know when it happened.

[append]
Did everyone remove their emails, or did that happen by accident? I still see a few of yours, but not all of them. I couldn't make mine disappear :)

Why not? :) OK, I guess my entry is going to get beaten by a circle and a stickman, but something like this happened every single time I went for technology during some kind of fast coding compo, so I think I'm used to it. :)

CGamesPlay: Nice idea, but it could have been really good if you tweaked physics a bit. :)
Onewing: I'm not a fan of of this type of games, but for one hour it's quite nice.
Kikaru: Simple ideas can often work nice, but this gets boring a bit too fast.

My vote is: CGamesPlay, Onewing, Kikaru
