It would be nice if there were more designs for the logo - something that actually says "Allegro" instead of just an A next to Alex. How many people would actually know what the A and Alex signified besides us anyway? Sorry, but I don't think I'll join TINS this year, there are only two weeks left to put up personal library code and I'm not very good at speed coding.

Well, he's referring to the code reuse parameter. You can reuse your own code if you post it online 2 weeks before the competition. -- |

Did you participate last time? If so, you might still have some such personal library code already uploaded -- |

Doesn't everyone here go around with the Allegro logo plastered onto all of their clothes? Quote: You can reuse your own code if you post it online 2 weeks before the competition. Does this mean I can re-submit my Speedhack 2007 entry, if it fits the rules?

I know that, but the point of that rule isn't to go out and write a full on engine two weeks before the contest and post it. Its in case you have find something on the internet that you think you can hack together, or have found old game (could be your own, might not be) you might be able to modify to meet the rules. Its supposed to be a fair advantage for everyone. So writing your own code for your contest entry and then posting online two weeks in advance doesn't seem to me the purpose of that rule, or in the spirit of the competition. Quote: Does this mean I can re-submit my Speedhack 2007 entry, if it fits the rules? Sure you can. This doesn't mean it will do well or is a good idea. _________________________________________________ |

The rules state that you have to disclose what code was re-used, and this is taken into account during voting. Also, I would consider re-using somebody else's code superior to re-using your own code, it requires more skill. Quote: Given this is the 5th TINS, why not have a special prize for the best TINS entry over the last five years? Nice idea. The TINS website isn't designed to handle that, but we could do it in a thread here on allegro.cc. This is something for after the competition though. -- |

Quote: Um, the whole point is you write everything as you go... not to have a wealth of libraries to start off with right away. Why would I want to rewrite everything I've already written in a re-usable manner? Also, I said I'm not very good at speed coding - by the time I had all my nice reuseable code rewritten, TINS would be over already. Quote: Did you participate last time? If so, you might still have some such personal library code already uploaded No, I haven't joined any of the timed coding competitions so far. I also haven't finished merging my code base into an organized library base yet. Other projects have higher priority right now, that's all.

Only on my pajamas. Quote: How many people would actually know what the "Allegro" and Alex signified besides us anyway? My point was just that something more informative would be nice. The people that only get to see the A and Alex might think we're in an alligator wrestling club or on a sports team. Quote: I know that, but the point of that rule isn't to go out and write a full on engine two weeks before the contest and post it. It is not a full engine, but neither is it something I would like to code without. It would be available for anyone else to use if they felt so inclined - however, I said that what I would put up if I was joining the competition isn't ready, nor do I want to make that a priority right now. If I'm going to join one of these competitions, I don't want to rewrite everything that I've done so far if I don't need to. Quote: Feel free to design one.

If I'm not mistaken that rule is there for you to submit basic framework for example - the code that sets up the scree, loads your resources etc. So when the compo starts you don't need to bother with these things. [My website][CppReference][Pixelate][Allegators worldwide][Who's online] |

Once again, I'll move on September (9 times in two years BAF said: Allegro C# sucks. Any wrappers I've tried for it mutate the API and aren't even consistent in it. Differing naming and capitalization conventions, etc. It was a mess last time I checked. Yes. Use Allegro.pas instead ----------------- |

I'm not sure if this has been asked, but will we be allowed to use 4.9 for TINS? Or just the stable Allegro branch?

I think any allegro goes, doesn't it? Dusts off Allegro 1.0

My options this week are actually "Program some craptastic enterprise system management system", or spend the weekend with 1100 of my closest friends, and about 5 of my best friends at Fragapalooza. I leave sometime before noon! And really, no need to be so defensive. you need to learn to take a joke! If you can't take it, don't dish it out -- |
