@Slartibartfast - ah, other rule updates that are needed. Pick your preferred platform for playing games. There doesn't seem to usually be any issues with getting pairings based on that.

@Elias: info.json and the website are both wrong. Not enough testing on my part.

I'll fix the bug with showing participant info and update the rules in a few hours.

Registered! Looking forward to it :)

Whatever I make, it has to be better than my Speedhack entry ;)

I have joined. I will let you know when I withdraw. 8-) I'm probably going to take my holidays just before and after Christmas so I imagine I'll be too burned out/demotivated to try, as usual. >:(

Entered, wishes submitted. I haven't coded anything for A5 for quite a while, so I'll just reuse my old code from the past entry for the framework. It sucks, but it works. :P

Does it matter if our wishlist is unoriginal; and does it matter if I register and fail to complete? (I've never entered a 'hack' before)...

I did that in 2009 and nothing bad happened.

Consequences are delayed proportionally to their severity.

Finally got around making my wishlist. This year I want to try out the (supposedly) correct way of doing component based engines as well as trying some network programming again. Maybe if my assignment is good enough, I might even have a try at some proper AI... I'm pretty excited ;D.

Is using preexisting code okay?

Yes, the only consideration is that you'll have to submit it alongside your entry.

That's the reason for the rules, right? To avoid somebody working on a game for two years just to put it into a "speedhack" competition, since it has to be customized.

Depends what the pre-existing code is, I guess. The spirit of the competition rules is that you can reuse generic code/libraries/etc., but you should refrain from taking an entire pre-written game, swapping out the graphics, and submitting.

And yeah, voting begins tomorrow.
