Quote: 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 asked Elias if he thought Allegro 4.9 was ready for this type of usage yet, and he said no. So I will say that it is allowed, but I definitely recommend against it. You'll have no recourse if you run into a showstopper bug in allegro 4.9, four hours before the deadline. That will just be tough luck for you -- |

It just seems odd that you spend so much of your time here asserting your coolness and how not-a-geek you are, on a board that is ostensibly for geeks. I mean, it makes you seem insecure or something! --- |

Quote: So I will say that [Allegro 4.9] is allowed But that means us Linux users might have trouble compiling all the entries. Can the two versions of Allegro coexist? i.e. are the headers and library files named differently? They never have been in the past with Allegro. -- |

Allegro 5 installs along side Allegro 4 with no issues. -- |

You don't seem to be there yet. Or are you Team Darkbits? Anyway, I wanted to ask this something I never had clear... is there any restriction to teams at all? If someone actually manages to gather a whole development team to rush a game in a single weekend, would that be allowed by the rules? ---------- |

It wouldn't make a difference, I don't know if there are any rules on this for a speedhack but in general more people != faster completion or better. _________________________________________________ |

Quote: I don't know if there are any rules on this for a speedhack but in general more people != faster completion or better. It's not as simple as that, nor the other way around. A properly organized large group can be a lot more effective than the sum of its parts (the opposite is also true). In game development you only need a large development group for content, which is something these games typically have in fairly short suply

Quote: If someone actually manages to gather a whole development team to rush a game in a single weekend, would that be allowed by the rules? Yes, it's allowed. This has actually happened in the past. "Ballz" by Team darkbits could be an example, or "cupid" by Shawn Hargreaves & co in SH 2002. Ballz scored very well, and I think cupid pretty much blew everything else out of the competition. If you have a good team, then usually you have a better chance to getting a good ranking. On the other hand, pulling a good team together is a difficult skill in itself. It seems good teams are so rare here on allegro.cc that I think they should be encouraged. Plus, with four scoring categories, you usually don't win in more than one category, even as a team. edit: -- |

. Good thing I noticed this a long time before the competition starts.
