| [MinorHack] Set up your email settings! |

Today's MinorHack thread is titled "Set up your email settings" because it seems only two people are going to receive the email for today's competition in a few hours, and one of them is me. Like I announced in the last thread, the competition emails are working now, so go to the email settings page and set them up. With the hour-before and day-before settings working, it should be much harder to forget about competitions! Anyways, today's MinorHack starts in 3.5 hours. Yay! -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

Couldn't it be a little more than an hour before the competition? I'd like to receive notification the same day (so that I actually remember), but an hour prior to the compo can be too late. Of course, the ideal thing would be a settable time interval, but that probably requires reworking part of the database - so I guess not going to happen Now, let's get this thread rolling. Who's in for today? --------------------------- |

Assuming I wake up, me. So far, I have participated in every MinorHack that I didn't miss; because of poor timing, it looks like I won't miss this one, and I have to keep up with consistency.

Finished! Well, it seems there isn't much competition this time, but I had good fun anyways. My entry is called "Line Lander" and is not all that wonderful, but what the heck can you do with a total of 8 lines at my disposal? I already found two bugs - first, you can cheat by landing at a weird angle, because I used degrees for logic in a total of two places... shows what state my mind is in today. The other bug is not a bug, but a balance issue - the difficulty curve is messed up. If you can get to level 12, you can play indefinitely. --------------------------- |

I made a shooter. I barely slid in to the time limit, as usual, but this game has pretty good gameplay. [append] Pretty nice games, both of you. I rank relpatseht higher, though, because I found the concept to be unique and moderately entertaining. Jakub, your game was just too difficult for me. -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

Mine is something of a shooter, I suppose, and if I had had time to play it, I am sure it would have run the gambit from stupidly simple to insanely difficult, but I don't really know. However, I haven't been able to find any bugs in it at least--a few annoying (but intended) features--but no bugs, so that is a plus. I'm back from dinner now, time to play the games. insert five minutes I vote Jakub's higher than your's, CGamesPlay. It was too difficult for me, but more amusing and technically impressive. With any luck, more people will participate next time.

I rank relpatseht higher too - for original idea. CGamesPlay: Anyway, both games were pretty good for a Minorhack and I think we all deserve a pat on the back and a beer at the pub. Too bad finding a pub nearby to all of us is such a pain in the lower back EDIT: --------------------------- |

A subtle thing about my entry is that in order to maintain 8 lines on the screen, you get fewer shots available as the number of enemies onscreen increases. -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

relpatseht: Anyway, perhaps you'll find my revised version better to play, I don't know. It is easier in the beginning for sure. I can get level 25-28 on the revised version usually. I don't know, but I seem to be better at "Thrust" type games than most people... --------------------------- |

No, same method, I suppose I am just not one for timing. The revised version is quite a bit easier, I can get to about level 15 on it now.

I finished a fun, playable, within-deadline MinorHack entry, went to submit at 4:02 (7:02 UTC), and noticed my cable internet was down. It just came back up. I'm totally bummed. I even finished in spite of starting 15 minutes late. Well, here's my game if anyone wants to try it, dated 7:02:24 UTC (from me adding my email at the beginning at the last second): http://oceanbase.org/data/files/8lines.c |

I rank yours last, it was a bit too repetitive and boring to find out what happened when that line reached the top of the screen. I'm not really a fan of games you cannot lose if a maximum score is unobtainable.
