Less than 4 days left! Time to start wrapping up your entries. You still have one full weekend ahead, so if you are skilled and experienced you can even manage to pack something from scratch. But, it's final time to start working.
I will consider extending the deadline if I receive 2-3 requests (depends on the predicted amount of finished entries that will be submitted) preferably not later than 20 o'clock GMT on Sunday from people who will email me their WIP (or post/posted them in forum threads earlier). I will not extend the deadline for people who will start working on Sunday.

So if you go 90% of c, do we get to have those extra 5 days?Lachie Dazdarian wrote:Less than 4 days left! Time to start wrapping up your entries.

I'm not sure where did you read 5 extra days, Mentant.
I'm looking closely at several cool entries being developed and I would hate for most of them to be left out while 2-3 extra days could change that. It all really depends on who will ask me to extend the deadline, meaning, will depend on their entries and their levels of completion. I won't extend the deadline for one person, that's for sure. To be honest, I would be most happy that all who started could finish their entries before monday 20:00 GMT, or at least pack them in playable games, where the final version can be released later.
I think this would be nice time for you to start reporting how close you are to completion of your entry and do you expect to complete it before the deadline.
Thanks.

Ugh, I have most stuff in place but I'm not sure I can have it finished tomorrow. I may have to just drop out though, I've got two essays to write for English plus a lot of assignments for Calculus to complete.
Well, if you do extend it I'll be happy but if not I understand (especially since it's my fault anyways).

Like I said, I will need your WIP posted here or via email, together with the predicted extra time you'll to complete the entries. No sense in me extending the deadline for 2-3 days if it won't help anyone. I'm not motivated to extend it for another week, but that seems to be the most sensible thing. But like I said, I need valid reasons for this. Not your "Extension, please."
Also, let's decide on this before Sunday 20:00 GMT so that those who are ready to release their entry, but want to release it only few hours before the deadline can hold on on their entires if an extension happens.
Work with me.

The deadline has been extended to Sunday 21st, 18:00 GMT.
Why? Well, I want to give you one more week, but want also to be sure I'll be online to close the competition and list the entries few minutes after the deadline. During work days I can't guarantee that. Didn’t think of that before. You have the entire next Saturday to wrap up your entry and Sunday morning to submit it, if you live in…I don’t know…Los Angeles.
Be sure to submit your entries till that time, and I don't recommend waiting for the last minute. Power loses, connection problems, you never know. Be smart. :P

So... the competition is getting to the end...
but... for those who still wonder what can be done with a 80x60 screen plus 16 ega colors... i did some extra animation, as teaser...
http://www.sendspace.com/file/dr4gk7 (1mb)
or another method (color interpolation)... this one requires accurate vsync... so if you run it in OpenGL mode activate vsync in your card...
the result is awesome especially in TV-OUT :P
