Didn't we originally say handing in on the 26th is early enough?

Yeah, I think GullRaDriel suggested that.

@Edgar: Are you using Blender to make your game, or just for modeling?

Think about it: if the premise of Secret Santa was that the receiver never knows who gave them their gift then the gifts will be terrible and the event will fail. :P

Alright, the group has spoken. You have until the 26th to submit your entries as PM's to me. I will plan on passing them out in the morning. If I see the PM after midnight, I'll still pass along the gift...but with a bag of coal or something. :D

Great. I'll just sell the coal for some quick cash anyway. 8-)

So that's 12:00 a.m. on Monday, the 26th?

I guess it's too late now but I don't love the idea of changing the deadline. Well, do it if you must, but please don't change it again!

I started from a finished game, and I'm replacing features one by one, keeping it in a releasable state the whole time. So I was 100% finished when I started, I'm 100% finished now, and if I work really hard I can have it 100% finished before the deadline!

Yes, I'm so agile.

Why, because people need to sleep? Sleep is for the weak! >:(

Oh, and here's a totally legit screenshot of my game. ::)

That's a brilliant strategy. I probably should have done that :-/

That might be good for another *Hack, actually. :) All entries must be a previously coded game with changes/enhancements, etc.

I'm about 85% finished with my gift now. I'd like to finish it before tomorrow afternoon, because I'll be busy most of the weekend. Final stretch!

How's everyone feeling about their gifts so far? I've made great progress today, and will likely finish tomorrow sometime (so long as these two remaining bugs don't screw me up). My gift is completely playable, but still needs some bug fixing and polishing up before it's done with. Good luck to all!

I'm using Chipmunk2D physics engine for mine, and it's just making everything 10x as slow as it should be :P I'm glad I have plenty of time to do it, but last time I tried to use a physics engine I basically ran out of time (and it was a ChistmasHack too).

One thing I never get about physics libraries and simulations, is they're always default to slow motion. What's up with that?

What I said was what I said.
KrampusHack topic says "Try to do so before January 1, 2017. On January 1, 2017"

I will not be able to give anything on the 26 since I started my project with the 1 of January in mind.

I'll submit my present for the due date, my gifted friend will have to wait until that, sorry ^^

Edit: BTW I got something running. I will provide sources and makefiles and everything needed to build my entry (except A5) on Windows and Linux.

Edgar, I am attempting to use your avatar pack, but when I call PopulateAvatars(), it freezes the program. Any ideas? The function returns true, so I know the files are okay.
