Wuhoo Halloween compo! :stirrer:
A pumpkin pie game is in order.
sounds good, hope i'll have some time to get in the compo :) :stirrer:
I sux at making music, can I use megadeth? :diablo:
Megadeth would be a great choice! :)
I'm hoping that I can stand a chance with some really cheesy image processing effects, not many effects and a great song!
Atm picture loading routines coded etc but waiting for the music so I can synch it all up!
I had a great idea, but real life has caught up, sorry cant enter this year - elderly relatives to blame.
Life happens Chris, hope it's nothing too serious.
Dear competitors:
This year I *want* to win this compo, so please try your best or I will defeat your entry easily :stirrer:
Ps: Oh, and since the last year great winner (Chris) is out of my way, my victory will be easy :diablo:

This is very likely true ... but I've found one night to code ... so I might get something in yet. Elderly relatives have gone home. I think me staring at them did it.
Or maybe my cooking.
K+ :P

I should be thanking you! I really really enjoyed doing this. No pouet or 4k rules. Just pure slap it on the screen and enjoy. I havent had this much fun coding since I was at college.
Picture the scene...
One half-baked demo.
Two empty wine bottles.
One jam doughnut.
And about 2 hours before I will be compelled to sleep due to alcohol intake...
It's coming, I promise...
Jim
And you're still awake and online, you need more alcohol :)
Hopefully I'll finish mine tonight too... . .
Seeing as I'm suffering from hardware problems
[Interrupting Barry] You said -

Anyway, seeing as I'm suffering from hardware problems, and I cannot view some of the entries, I will be making my email address available. Please may all entrants post a screen-shot of their entry to my email address - these will be scaled down to fit into the awards file.
I had to quit drinking at 4am so I could sober up. I'll be in the car at 7.30, just an hour an a half away!
I have to say I'm massively impressed at the turn out. I was terrified for a minute there'd be no entries, but instead everyone was just polishing up the last minute touches. Great to see. Really, truly, great.
Jim
Yeah all of a sudden there's like a ton of entries flooding in, But when you look at the quality of each you soon see why it took people so long to finish there demos.
yeah i must say im really really impressed with the quality of peoples work in this comp, it has a really good feel about it.
Voting is open! Good luck people!
Cheers Shockwave.
Now that the voting is up with screenshots, I have no need for anyone to send me their own, so please disregard that last message of mine.
