Now that Allegro 5 has been released, I will hold a SpeedHack as promised. >:(

Please respond to this informal poll. Which time frame is better?

  • March - April

  • April - May

  • May - June

  • June - July

  • July - August

I'll later have a more specific weekend poll depending on which pair of months are the best.

For me too !

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (GullRaDriel) Sat, 19 Feb 2011 04:09:34 +0000

I'm assuming only A5 entries right?

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (_Kronk_) Sat, 19 Feb 2011 04:11:18 +0000

Anytime from April on should work for me.

I was very concerned. :o

Possibly. Definitely Allegro only, like always.

July - August seems ideal to me since it'd fit with my winter 2 week vacation. :)

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Dario ff) Sat, 19 Feb 2011 05:44:00 +0000

Any month but I'd like to work with A4.2 because I don't want to learn 5.

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (GameCreator) Sat, 19 Feb 2011 06:33:30 +0000

Anything but March - April.

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (SiegeLord) Sat, 19 Feb 2011 06:41:22 +0000

July - August sounds fine.

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (kenmasters1976) Sat, 19 Feb 2011 07:24:58 +0000

June - July

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Mokkan) Sat, 19 Feb 2011 09:41:06 +0000

I'm free the month of May, so

May-June

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (relpatseht) Sat, 19 Feb 2011 10:51:38 +0000

  • July - August

Would be great.

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Vanneto) Sat, 19 Feb 2011 18:31:09 +0000

Starting with May, I may have time as well.

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Michael Faerber) Sat, 19 Feb 2011 23:56:56 +0000

March - April
July - August

Looking forward to it.

June - July

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Johan Halmén) Mon, 21 Feb 2011 15:15:47 +0000

April - June :D

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Timorg) Mon, 21 Feb 2011 21:00:23 +0000

March-April is best for me, though even under optimal conditions I'm not sure if I'd be able to produce anything of note, I entered last SpeedHack and ended up with nothing :X

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Slartibartfast) Mon, 21 Feb 2011 22:28:13 +0000

June - July or July - August~ ;D

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Fishcake) Tue, 22 Feb 2011 21:08:01 +0000

January works best for me.

The last time I done a Speedhack was back in 1999 was it? For the first one? Wow, time flies eh? I don't know if I would me motivated enough to do that again.

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Neil Roy) Mon, 28 Feb 2011 10:45:11 +0000

Yeah, the first one was in 1999. The first one I participated in was the second one, and that was in 2001. Aside from the year when there were two a week apart, between us we've participated in every SpeedHack :D

My preferences:

May - June
June - July
July - August

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Bruce Perry) Tue, 01 Mar 2011 09:11:10 +0000

1999, what was that, 4 speedhacks ago? :P

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (BAF) Tue, 01 Mar 2011 09:30:27 +0000

You're kidding, right? There've been somewhere in the region of 10 ;)

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Bruce Perry) Tue, 01 Mar 2011 09:42:22 +0000

I was just taking a cheap shot at the fact that there will have elapsed almost two years between speedhacks. :P

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (BAF) Tue, 01 Mar 2011 09:44:30 +0000

I see - too obscure for me :)

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Bruce Perry) Tue, 01 Mar 2011 09:50:58 +0000

It will be in June or July.

I will put up a "pick the weekend" poll to decide the exact date.

]]> no-reply@allegro.cc (Matthew Leverton) Tue, 01 Mar 2011 11:43:36 +0000

Cool, I can probably make it in June-July.

In general it's not so bad though, according to my statistics:

Nov 99 +14 Jan 01 +15 Apr 02 +0 Apr 02 +13 May 03 +13
Jun 04 +14 Aug 05 +12 Aug 06 +13 Sep 07 +22 Jul 09 +23 Jun 11

The official time between speedhacks always was 13 months and the average now is 13.9 months if the next one is in June.

Speaking of Speedhack, how do I get the Windows binaries for the previous years? There only seems to be a link to the 2009 ones on the entrants page, even after I change the year in that combo box on the left.
