Are other libraries/platforms/engines also permitted? (i.e., non-Allegro-games)

If so, we might join as well this time.

edit: Changed admitted to permitted. Resembles more closely what I wanted to say.

The real question is who's gonna organize it !

I'm sure plenty of people will still participate in Speedhack without having to change the core requirement of the competition (namely requiring the use of allegro).

I appreciate that TINS isn't Speedhack, but maybe amarillion could wire you up with some of his stuff?

Are you trying to say that TINS is not Speedhack? :o

I'll start a poll this week for possible dates. All regular rules will apply.

I missed ChristmasHack last year, I could use a little speedhack to refocus my piccolo energy...

Thanks for asking Bruce. I think we all need a little Speed Hack. It's been too long. Maybe someone could just pick a date for the next year in advance so we can all plan around it...would be nice to have a date set in stone, maybe even twice a year...once during the first half (Summer Hack) and then again towards the end (Christmas Hack). :D

I think it fits well with the trend that none of us actually program games.

Holy crap and I thought it was last year at the end of summer.

Eh, I guess I could install Allegro and hack something together. Just not this month, since it's exam time and it wouldn't be possible for me to code anything serious.

Which version of Allegro would be the requirement? Or do we get to choose?

See also this thread about another upcoming game making competition. Looks quite interesting.

I would probably do Speedhack, if I have the time.

It would be nice if there were an allegro.cc competition that wasn't Allegro-specific, as ironic as that might be.

Regardless, I'm in.
Maybe solo, maybe team, maybe C++, maybe C#. :P

Maybe that could be a bonus rule... Act of Not Using Allegro.

Theres at least one regular compo that doesn't require the use of Allegro afaik. Might be ChristmasHack, can't recall exactly.
