Okay, I'm 1.25 hours behind, but I'm entering. I don't expect to finish, but you never know....

Well here is my entry. Only got under 2 hours on it but need sleep for work in the morning and it is already 12:45am here.

The H to O Download

Request: Hold the next competition in the daytime?

* emileej is going home

I'm pulling out. As I said earlier, I started late. On top of that, I just now gathered all my old resources and got them working. It is just plain impossible to finish in an hour and a half at this point. I have not even started on any game-specific code.

Why don't you guys make it a tradition like "Monday Night Football"?

i.e. "Wednesday 4 Hours", W4H

Good idea, but seperate the UK one will you? It's two in the morning here.

My entry did not get finished, misses a few main features such as input and anything to do so I provide it here only for purposes that people can have a look at it and change it to their needs later. Written in lua via PlayKode;

I've given up as well. Pah. Someone warn me next time that water is f***ing hard to do...

I thought up a few possible theme ideas for the next one though:

- Gravity
- Symmetry
- Racing
- Programming (As in, a game that involves programming :-))
- Grids (As in, it must use a grid or grids as the main game element)

Here's mine:

Unlike you unfinishing need-sleep gotta-get-up-for-work types, I actually made something

I beleive Diordna is the winner, cuz he's the only one who didn't drop out. CONGRATULATIONS

Walaga wins for me, but H to O was a clever pun. I got a chuckle out of it. Walaga has a weird bug where the bubbles compete for the text at the beginning and it sort of randomly switches back and forth between them for me. Once I started playing it went away, though.

Yeah i dropped out too, i forgot i had a class to go to.

Actually I submitted H to O as a fully playable game at the 2 hour mark so I did not actually drop out, I just got got done much quicker

Starting from next friday, we could have a competition from around 9:30 to around 11:30, GMT +1. I don't like being up early hours to do a contest, that would be the last day of work/school for people where they can take a break from all the work for four hours. I would have it as earlier but then we'd miss have I got news for you . Then not so many people would drop out hopefully, and it would let us UK people have a fair chance...

I went to sleep before I posted here. So here is the link I only posted in irc: http://will.thimbleby.net/downloads/WaterWindow.zip

For some reason you have to run it from Xcode, I couldn't get it to compile for deployment for some reason. You'll need a fast computer and it helps to have few windows on your screen.

Sorry about that Andrew, I had forgotten because you had finished so early, and i missed yours in irc will.
