Mark reported something similar last year, but it only happens with some emoji.

hmm...

Confirmed. That's the only emoji I would ever use to represent myself, so that's most likely the case. 😎

That one is outside the BMP, so it's possible that that's the culprit.
I'll do some debugging today.

edit: I fixed it. Indeed, MySQL historically only supports a subset of unicode. I had to update collation on all tables and columns.

Thanks, Bugsquasher. I look forward to seeing what you can cook-up. ;)

@bamccaig, I just tried looking at your stream however it has large segments of audio missing due to copyrighted material:

{"name":"612762","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/7\/e7976e5b8ebb2801d4ecc3e75f6f4194.png","w":1920,"h":1080,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/7\/e7976e5b8ebb2801d4ecc3e75f6f4194"}612762

Which is a shame. I was looking forward to hearing your musings as you code :)

Damn. :( I think I can configure away the shared music, but I liked the fact that there was also music to help keep things lively and less boring. While I would love for the video to contain the live audio so that the video could live on forever, I think for now I'm more interested in people actually watching live, and that may mean sacrificing the playback quality for now. I'll look into if there's like an affordable premium/pro plan that allows for copyrighted content or something too. BTW, I'm back live again. Though we're about to eat dinner so I'll be going brb in a minute. But after that I intend to code for 8+ hours. I might even pull an all-nighter straight through to Christmas Eve.

Append:

I watched for a bit. You were buying things that would be considered illegal in my country.

Hey Amarillion, if I upload my entry now, it won't be available to others for download until the event concludes, right? For example, I see GullRaDriel has submitted an entry, but clicking on it 403s. I just want to confirm this is by design.

Hey Eric!

No, there is no special logic on availability of entries. The error on Gull's entry is an unrelated permissions issue that keeps cropping up.

I'll make a note to improve this next year, but for now I just rely on your own discretion...

Do I have to do something special or my entry is going to be ok on the right time ?

martijn@vps48147:~$ sudo chmod a+r /srv/tins-django/upload/2020_12_13-RazorCrest.7z

Fixed it...

I haven't figured out yet why some uploaded files get the wrong file system permissions. Maybe it has something to do with the file type. I'll code up a more thorough fix later.

I am very sorry to say that I won't be able to complete my entry before or even after Christmas. I didn't get any holidays and I have been working even on my weekends. I don't know how to explain my situation, I have a very unrealistic deadline to catch and now I'm working almost 13 to 14 hours per day. If I get time then I'll release my game in mid Jan, otherwise in Feb 2021.

Again, I'm sorry for dropping out, I hate doing this, but I'm not getting any time to work on my game.

I'll prepare a sorry card in my lunch time and after work time.

Regard, yours truly.

This is the last time I'm going to try to make a game.

I have already lost the love for programming or games.

Sounds like me after the first Speedhack I registered for.

Maybe after you get your hands on some of the finished code from Krampus Hack you could use it for the next hack?

Definitely don't give up.

That's a beautiful song Lenny, but for this situation I was thinking more...

I see the deadline is now Friday instead of Thursday. Is that just a clarification of the original intent? I assume that means 2021.01.01 at 00:00:00 (YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM:SS), right? In my experience, most can't seem to agree on what "midnight" of a given date really means (if it were me, I'd specify 23:59:59 instead of "midnight" so we're all on the same page)... For example, is midnight Friday one second elapsed from Thursday, or does it mean the general moment just before Friday becomes Saturday?

Also, rmbeer, don't give up. Even if you don't finish a game for this little event, try to learn something from the experience. The best advice I can offer is to keep the scope smaller next time. Avoid creep at all costs. It's better to ship a seemingly basic, yet functioning game than attempt to ship an ambition one but become empty-handed. Likewise, try not to steer too far from what you already know or are comfortable with when working with a deadline. If you've never worked in 3D before, for example, a hack is not really the place to bet it all on something so foreign. Best of luck to you!

Practically speaking midnight is always 00:00:00.000, but it's such a short instant that it's difficult to collide within the computer with it. :) Practically probably everything from 00:00:00.000 to just before 00:00:01.000 counts. :P

The rules state:

Friday 1 January 2021. End time is midnight in your own time zone. I'm not going to be very strict about time, a few hours off is fine.

That to me says your entry must be submitted by 2021-01-01 00:00:00.000, but a few hours off is fine (so like 03:00:00.000 local time may still pass).
