Even though I may not be able to enter, but just in case.

Being able to use the TINS website would be great, amarillion, thanks. ;)

I think we should be able to research what we want to do before the compo starts.

Also, we should make a starting entry that is a snapshot of the source code as you start with, and then take a snapshot at the end, and make a diff of the differences.

Ok, the competition page at the TINS site has been opened!

If you have an account, you can log in here
https://tins.amarillion.org/accounts/login/

After logging in, you can join the competition here:
https://tins.amarillion.org/join/

If you don't have an account yet, simply create one here:
https://tins.amarillion.org/accounts/register/

I changed the dates to 12AM friday to 12AM monday. Just to stick with the TINS/Speedhack tradition. Keep in mind that the daylight savings time switchover is coming (Or already happened in America I think).

The rules page still has placeholder text at the moment, I will refine it in the coming days.

To come back to Edgar's question about research. I think you should be free to do a lot of things before the competition starts.

This is an informal hack, and the main goal is to motivate ourselves to do some game development! I think the deadline is strict, but I'm open to let the start time be more of a guideline than a hard rule.

I also wonder what we want to do about voting. For me, the most interesting thing would be to get reviews for all the entries, I don't really care if we pick a winner or not.

Amarillion: Change the first link because it says "Error: requires login first".

Thanks, updated. I suppose it should really redirect automatically, but I don't have time to fix that now.

Service announcement: the TINS website is down for a bit. Django updates screwed me over. Don't panic, I will fix this ASAP.

The TINS site is back again, I managed to downgrade the dependencies back to a stable version. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Pesky dependencies. >:(

So, do you all know what game you are going to resurrect?

I have several options and I'm still undecided. I'm considering

Which one would you like to see resurrected?

By the way, the message logs are already open: https://tins.amarillion.org/resu18/log/

So many options.

I want to choose something that will leave me with an improved codebase for the future. That'll be with most projects, regardless.

Easiest thing that comes to mind is The Path. It never matured to the graphical masterpiece that I had intended to deliver. Maybe I can finally make that happen. Reborn.

It was also my last attempted EasterHack project in 2017. 😬

I use gradient circles to represent explosions, and it would be a perfect chance to learn shaders.

Awesome!

I'm going to try to resurrect BIG GUNS, possibly one of my favorite games made in Allegro. I managed to find the source code for one of its old versions, about 10K lines of DOS C in one file, for Allegro 3.1. I might opt to just use the code as a reference and re-write it all from scratch. Here's a screenshot of a newer version which still exists on the Depot:

That would be so cool 8-)

Hmm, I vote either the Fashionista or Time-Table.

I started resurrecting our ancient teamhack game called Doomed in Easterhack 2017: https://tins.amarillion.org/easter17/log/4128/

Last year I completely rewrote the code but ran out of time to make something that can run. I plan to work on that for a bit again this weekend. My goal is to have something that compiles and runs!

And has at least as much gameplay as the original one had (which isn't much at all as we ran out of time for the original teamhack as well...)!

:P But well, I failed it last year, so no point really setting much higher goals this time.
