Got Desmond's game, because the one who got my wishlist didn't submit anything. Seems I'll never get my hockey table game. Btw, merry christmas SiegeLord, hope you enjoy my entry.  EDIT: Desmond, I had to take out <array> from the header to compile, because I don't have that apparently. Otherwise it ran fine. It's a bit stuttery tho because of the apparent lack of vsync. Simple entry, won on the first try without losing any lives. TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

What is it? I'm curious about the pseudo-3D. Screens please. TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

Just found out - don't let it run too long - the zombies come faster and faster and they will eat up every last bit of your memory and put you in swap hell...

Dario ff said: My recipient is exactly who I thought it was. How???? I usually put Windows as my platform of choice, but this time I put Linux in hopes I'd get someone skilled to do it for me >.>. There really should be ability to choose multiple platforms that you can test on, just like the choice for the development platform. Matthew Leverton said: Otherwise it complained about not being able to load the ogg tracks. My release library does have ogg support, but it could just be due to something I broke while hacking on Allegro. Yes! I had the same issue a day ago. The debug library works, but the release one doesn't. I blame the compiler... but I haven't debugged it enough yet (I encountered it at 6 am after pulling an allnighter). Putting a printf inside the DLL loading code in ogg.c fixed it for me though "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow."-Ecclesiastes 1:18 |

Yea I forgot to take that out @ Mark Oates. I looked at the data folder and it looks to be fun already |

Well I saw mid-end Linux, and I thought, it was either Elias[1] I think, or SiegeLord. But then I saw the tasks, a GOD game with first choice of animals, elephants! Elias wouldn't be so obvious, but your last entry on SpeedHack was a game with elephants. EDIT: I know the first 9 or so level of the game are kind of a chore, but starting from 10 it starts to get way more interesting. References

I can't get Elias' game to run. I tried it both on my shitty PC laptop (running Windows XP) where it crashed, and through Wine on my Mac where it also crashed. I tried to get it to compile on my computer but I haven't gotten around to install Allegro 5.1 yet. In my head it's a lot of fun though!

When I received my gift I only saw the option to download the source pack. Will the game pack appear there as well? TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

I didn't submit anything. Looks like I can't get past writing crappy entries with primitive graphics (literally; circles, rectangles, etc.), primitive collision detection and primitive gameplay. I feel kinda bad when I see that some of you guys can complete some solid entries having probably less time to work on them like, for example, Dario in this SantaHack (even though at 1920x1080 I won't be able to try his entry on my machine). And by the way: Dario ff said: Seems I'll never get my hockey table game. Sorry, that was my task. Anyway, I'm looking forward to play all entries as soon as I have time.

It downscales to any resolution you want, and I made sure this time it didn't include any textures bigger than 1024x1024 so it worked on your system. Quote: Sorry, that was my task. Don't worry. I did propose that one since I thought it was simple enough to make in 7 days and give it an interesting twist. But I wouldn't expect you to have much time to focus on this time of the year. At least we have all day long today to get even more stuffed with food and drink. TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

Quote: I thought it was simple enough to make in 7 days So did I. It even was one of the wishes that I voted high as in "I hope to get this one 'cause it's easy to do". I just checked my gift from perplex. Even though it's not finished, this line made my Christmas: Quote: U can't kill and can't be killed, what an awesome game Who knows? With a little more work it may even be somewhat fun.

I've messaged you again Mark. Still no luck on getting it to work :/ I might have to download MSVC and compile it. |

I didn't manage to send anything in time and it seems I didn't receive anything either. Fair enough. But I do have a great game coming up, late, though. Anyway, I owe someone for this nice little idea of a game. Should I just send him the game as soon as it's playable or should I go public with it straight away? I still use A4. I have too much stuff for A4 and nothing at all for A5. Most of all I feel very dependent on a proper customisable GUI, like the GUI of A4. One of the many things that made me miss the deadline was struggling with 32 bit rgba sprites, creating them and getting the alpha mask there. TFM is not very clear on that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

Woot 8 entries. Trying them out now. EDIT: Edgar, the alpha channel in your entry seems borked up. It just shows garbage around the sprites. TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

I know my image editing skills aren't perfect, but there was only a small border left showing in my version. It's hard to see which pixels should be removed. I'll have to overlay it over a black background over something to see them better. My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!

The garbage looks like stuff that's been rendered previously(In fact one of those looks like Elias' main player sprite). GPU is an ATI Radeon HD 6870. {"name":"605308","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/d\/8\/d8bec59711bd454981455b1becc024ce.png","w":802,"h":577,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/d\/8\/d8bec59711bd454981455b1becc024ce"} TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

Looks like uninitialized video memory to me... It's probably because I didn't set an overwrite blender before scaling the zombie images, or because I didn't clear the background first. Funny it doesn't show up on my machine, but I'll have it fixed soon. My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!

<Gleeful Anticipation> 
I dig that music.
The OS and the specs were an obvious giveaway. 
.
Because for my game it actually includes the music in the game pack only, so I'd rather SiegeLord to download and compile that instead(it includes the same source and makefile). I guess Desmond just uploaded the source package, so that's why I see only one option?
