I'm so curious, is anyone working on a demo for the 20 sec compo?
I'm doing a little something but i wont say what it's until done :)
Im in the process of developing my own engine, and providing on how busy the next few weeks become I'll try and come up with something; Im not promising anything mind.
I started working on an entry yesterday. I now have several bits and pieces all on the go at once. Its just a matter of finishing em all off and putting the parts together. Easier said than done, but hopefully it should all be good. Needless to say, this is all top secret ;)
I was going to try and make something during the weekend, but I just didn't find the time. But I am still aiming towards making at least one entry.
I am!
If inspiration strikes, which I hope it does
I made a timer...
There aren't any effects yet though! You'll probably see an example from me soon-ish.
Insiration just struck. Whether or not I can actually do it is another matter...
I'm in.
I'm actually gonna code something! (Shock horror)
I have got a funky scroller up and running, and I'm just learning the ins and outs of the new PTC lib by rbraz.
Gotta add a timer, and some pretty effects yet.
Sounds good Voltage :) Won't be much time for scroll text though! :)
I am thinking about an good idea that fits to 20 sec. I want something related to
20 sec ... hmm ... will continue making up my mind and hopefully come up with an entry.
Think that Tetra did a good start with his first entry ...
Yeah, the hour glass was a nice idea, I was hoping we'd get one of those :)
I'm doing one, not sure how good it'll be though. O0
Something nice to show off what Cobra can do in the right hands :)
Been playing with some source tonight... I'm not sure how much time I am going to spend on my example but hopefully I should squeeze a few effects into it.

Enough time to greet you crazy kids.
I'm still struggling with how to fit the timer into the whole concept... I could just have a timer counting down, but I want to incorporate it more like tetra's hourglass idea.
Time will tell - Pun intended.
My timer's just stuck up in the corner of my screen...might end up doing it with textures and having it fly around a bit O0
Well they do say that time flys Jake so why not?
Well yesterday I realised how little time I have left...so if I don't finish it this weekend we'll see :)
Good luck :) I'm sure you'll do a great job!
I am struggling with this.. I was going to do some effect and just have it to last for 20 seconds.. Now I realise that it is not good enough, so do I go down the route of Tetra and have a clever timer, do it Benny's way and use the theme to my advantage, or do I go the other way and try and cram as much in as I can?
Going for the cram it all in approach! My entry is going to have at least 10 unique effects.

It doesn't look as good as yours mate.

I don't really believe you. You really did impress me with your last releases. Nice fx
and some very good design.
Looking forward to see your entry ... when do you think you will release it ?
There's alot of good people entering this; I'll just have to get mine that much better :diablo:
I'll give you the color scheme though:
-white
-blue &
-yellow
;)

Definately. There are a lot of talented ppl here. Nevertheless, so far - only 2 entries
are released. I guess that there aren't as many entries as in the SCROLLCOMP for
example.
IMHO thats because the topic is rather difficult. At least I had to think about a lot of
an idea for this compos' topic. Neverthess or because of that - this compo is very
interesting and tricky.

Looking forward to see those colors in motion ;-)
I hate to say this.
I'm probably not going to have my entry done in time.
I had some insane ideas for a demo in a reoccurring dream this week and I honestly (go ahead, call me a freak :P ) feel that if I don't put it into code I won't dream anything else again!
Good luck to all of you, I'll at least be sure to vote :)

That makes me even more looking forward to see your demo.

And after all the hype :( Never mind though Thygrion, you can at least use your ideas in your next demo, which I know I'll be looking forward to seeing, thanks for at least trying to support the comp, it is appreciated.
I am about 50% done with mine, I think :) I am almost certain that I will get at least this one entry done in time.
Excellent news :) Another quality entry to look forward to!
I don't know about you Zawran but I fuond this challenge surprisingly difficult. It's hard to think of something that really "works" in 20 seconds.
Yes its not easy at all, which is probably why I haven't finished mine yet. I keept changing my mind as to what to make. But I got a plan now, just need to realise it :)
Good luck :) I hope your plan works out well.
