MinorHack Returns!

Next Thursday at 0100 UTC okay with those who want to participate?

I'd need to leave for work during the hour at that time. An hour earlier would be fine. I might give myself a couple of weeks of practice first though. It's been a while since I wrote anything longer than 10-15 lines, so I tried writing Pong in an hour last night. I was rustier than I thought.

I'd have a go at it if it was two hours earlier. Any later than that and I won't make it - I need at least 5 hours of sleep per day ;).

Anything around 0000 UTC sounds good to me.

Well, I will be in on the Oct. 28th one, since it's a Saturday. However, I can't do the Nov. 2nd one, 1) because it is on a friday, and 2) because it would be at about midnight.

Sooo, I'm assuming they are scheduled for different people?

I can participate in the Oct. one. Isn't the Nov. on Thursday rather than friday?

For those not east of Greenwich, yes.

Well, I found that my MinorHack entries have made some of the best foundations for full games yet. :)

For those west of Greenwich, it most certainly won't be Friday. November the 2nd is a Thursday, and since this event will be taking place at 0000 UTC, it will be Wednesday the 1st still, west of Greenwich.

For our American friends, it will be 8pm on the East Coast, 5pm on the West Coast, 4pm in Alaska, and 2pmin Hawaii.

Heh, I didn't even read past "on Thursday", apparently.

This thread will not die, for it is immortal. ;) Anyway, how is the scoring database coming along, CGames?

You might also want to add that skeleton starter code to the site, when you get around to it. Just sayin' 'cause I don't see it on the to do list.

Yeah, I haven't actually touched the site in a while. Last I recall, in my test environment, I was doing rule voting, or something.

I won't be able to play in this Saturday's, as I have a race to be at :-/

Darn! This will be the first one you missed right? Well, there are two ways to look at it: One less chance to win, or one less chance to lose.

Haha, let's go with the first :P

Yes, this will be the first one I've missed. Fortunately, there is a small backing for this competitions so I don't need to be in all of them :)

Yep, it's already on my calendar. I just hope I can still program fast, it's been a while since I've participated in a hack of any sort, let alone a minorhack. On another note, anyone else in pacific time participating? Cause it's at 9am right? (just wanna make sure, I'm never too sure about these time conversions)

Whoooo Oregon State University

Go to here and put in "America/Los_Angeles" for the time zone, without the quotes. The clock on that page should read correctly.

That's right, just keep it alive, one day at a time :P

I wish you had done that back when the thread had 300 replies... That was a record for a thread started by me :P
