That's not the entire story though, since the FAQ says: Quote: Libraries, add-ons and public domain code that is self contained (compiled independently from your code) does not need to be included.

AMCerasoli, SpeedHack is a 72 hour competition. Is starts on Friday and you have to submit your entry Sunday before the competition ends. Also, you don't have to implement all 50 rules you voted. Only a few rules are randomly selected before the competition starts and those are the ones you have to try and implement. Try spinning the rule-o-matic to see an example. I suggest you join. Nothing will happen if you can't finish an entry or if you decide to drop the competition.

I was also confused with the TINS rules. (They should call this TINTINS kenmasters1976 said: Nothing will happen if you can't finish an entry or if you decide to drop the competition. Squirrels. References

So, if I use the PNG add-on, I have to include the libpng's source? |

The text on the intro page just a high level description of how the competition works. "Any additional libraries" doesn't mean the library itself must be present; a reference to the library in a readme file is sufficient. The FAQ makes this clear: Libraries, add-ons and public domain code that is self contained (compiled independently from your code) does not need to be included. I am assuming that the code is freely available from a website, and you will need to supply a web address where it can be downloaded. If the website no longer exists (as sites are created and vanish all the time) then you should upload the version that you used onto your own website so that I can compile the code to check it. I have no desire to trawl the internet looking for add-ons as I have enough to do..! As does the rules page: All source code, makefiles, documentation, and references to additional libraries used must be supplied in the ZIP file.

Oh fuck it. Looks like there was no 2010 Speed Hack, and for all I know this could be the last one. I'm back, bitches. Though, whether I will actually accomplish anything, is yet to be seen. I see BAF, Derezo, Dustin, Elias, Mark, ML, MiquelFire, Oscar, SiegeLord, and Slartibartfast are all in. Would be epic if we could get Bob, 23, and X-G in on this. The world may end next year, after all. Aight. Let's get this shit done. Hopefully I can get visual studio installed before Sunday.

I've managed to find some time for this weekend, so I'm in. Time to read that template and get the latest Allegro 5 working. TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

I would really love to participate in this competition believe me if it had been few weeks ago (yes when I was here talking shit all the time) I would have participated. But just right know I can't... I want another SpeedHack this year!!! Quote: Also, you don't have to implement all 50 rules you voted. I know, I just was saying that from those that I saw, I would be able to finish just the 10% of them... Probably not, probably the 60%, but I would have just the Sunday to finish it, because I work Friday and Saturday all day... But anyway good look to everybody and show what is Allegro able to do in just two days!

Well, You can't really judge allegro on us using it. We could be out dated ourselves |

I will try my best to write cross platform code. However I have never compiled or wrote anything in Linux. I will however only be using the allegro 5 libs and addon's so they are cross platform. I wouldn't have bothered writing this but it seems that some of the users on here use Linux When I can be bothered (Not in a long time), I shall learn how to use Allegro under Ubuntu or summets. Not long now till the competition starts so good luck to all. I'm looking forward to seeing the rules now |

Looking forward to it as well and also curious about the rules. 17 hours to start. Will upgrade from 4.2 to 4.4 tonight. Have a few dozen lines of code down in preparation.

I think that in Allegro if you are doing something Windows specific then you would know it. ---- |

The only thing you should have to worry about if you're only using Allegro is to keep file paths case-sensitive and use slashes ("/") instead of backslashes ("\\"); both of which any sane person would be doing regardless.

) I will certainly have no need for the 'public domain doesn't need to be included rule'.
Or just the headers? 
(Too much DNF... 
)
