It's time for SantaHack again! Though you won't see the conclusion to it, December 21 and all. The rules are posted over at the site. Registration begins on Tuesday (12/4). Backend of the site has been totally rewritten, to replace the hacky crap that was in place for last year (and to add proper support for viewing prior years). 2011's data isn't totally in yet, but I'll be finishing up on that soon. As always, any issues, let me know. |

Nice, even http://www.santahack.net/info.json and therefore the bot still works. -- |

Despite my tendency to jump in to every *Hack, I guess this time I'll pass.

"Participants will rate each rule on a scale of 1 to 5...", shouldn't that be "wish" or "description"? Here's a question that will effect my possible participation - can I safely drop out before the development phase begins without ruining anyone's fun? References

Quote: On Christmas day, all eligible participants will receive a game. If your Secret Santa did not submit an entry, you will receive another entry, picked just for you based on your voting preferences. So, no... not too much fun is ruined.

Slartibartfast said: shouldn't that be "wish" or "description"? Good catch. I'll fix that. Quote: can I safely drop out before the development phase begins without ruining anyone's fun? You can withdraw up until the voting phase ends. But even if you don't, as SiegeLord pointed out, it won't really ruin anyone's fun. |

Getting a present that was meant for someone else means you won't get the thing you wanted to play. I get that it isn't really that big a deal since it's not exactly the point of the hack, but I still think it is a bit disappointing and so would rather avoid that if I can. ---- |

I'm just not doing it because I already know it will be something that is out of my abilities so I wouldn't get it done. Don't need to add to my depression concerning programming. Though, I look forward to trying them after the compo is done

Quote: Use of the Allegro Game Programming Library is not required. This kind of states that i can use A4. If I have a chance at all to participate, I'd use A4 because of everything I'm familiar with. There's too much for me to learn in A5. Too much for me to do it while participating in an event like this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

Glad to see this event still lives on! I would join, but I've told myself I'm not taking anything else on until I get my current life under control. Good luck to all the participants! ------------ |

So it can be a web game? |

It could be, yes. Preferably something easy to run, if a server is required (if it were me, and a server was req'd for multiplayer, I'd include the source for that too, and just have it pointed to a copy of the server I was running by default). |

Q: The rules say that you're allowed a two megabyte zip file for all code and data, but you're allowed to provide links to publicly available libraries, such as the Allegro Depot, right? Otherwise Allegro itself would break the rules (assuming you're using it). They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

Maybe the rules need clarification there. But yes, publicly available libraries need not be included. The rule is just meant to cover all code not publicly available before the start of the competition. |

So I joined hoping I'll have the time to participate (or maybe hoping I won't, as that will mean I have a job Quote: During registration, you will be asked which platforms you are able to play games on, and which you are comfortable developing for. To aid in the assignment process, please be as flexible as you can here.
