WELCOME TO THE COOL CREATIONS COMPETITION[/color]
It's about time that we had another competition and we know that a lot of you have been waiting patiently for this one!! This competition is a themed competition and the idea behind it is to get you to submit some brand new code in quite a short deadline!

There are the usual forum related bonus prizes on offer (see prize list) and in addition to this, there are also 3 cash prizes up for grabs as long as you fulfil certain criterea.

****IMPORTANT****
>>>>Not everyone may enter<<<<
Please read the exclusion list below before going on to the rules!

This competition is open to our friends only. There are some people around who don't support us and we will not support those people so three communities have been selected carefully. Provided you were a member of Any combination of the following communities;


WWW.DBFINTERACTIVE.COM
WWW.INTRO-INFERNO.COM
WWW.FREEBASIC.NET
[/size]

Before 15th Of October 2006 you may enter.

If you have ever had your account banned from any of those three communities, you may not enter. To prevent you from submitting code through another member of your group, if your account was banned, it excludes the rest of your group from entering the competition also.
If your account is banned from any of the three communities during the competition, you will be disqualifed. Good conduct on the communities is essential if you want to participate in our challenges.. Attempts to get around these exclusion rules will result in disqualification at our discretion.

Excellent work on that one!  All of you made a great work...and i'm really surprised by the quality of the music..i must admit i wasn't a big fan of his previous tune ;)  Here, it perfectly matches the intro! keep it up guys!
(I also added a news about it on II)

you can always send the music so i can put it online together with the intro btw ;)

Post by: taj on October 15, 2006
shockwave, I think you should be allowed to enter for the cash prize too...if you are the best you should win. We trust you havent spent 5 years developing your killer Halloween intro already ;-) or else this would happen to you :axekill:

Frankly with your wine habit, I think you need the cash :skint:

ps I simply dont know if I can enter in 2 weeks, my last 4k took me 3 weeks *with* help. I'll see if I can do something.

Thanks for settings this up and respect for donating the entire prize money yourself. I'm up the walls and on holidays over the next two weeks so unlikely I'll have an entry but you never know.

I had a couple of ideas pop in my head based on the theme, and with my coders block lifting a lil here and there, I might try to make something.... If I can, life suxz at times..

Only issue, I have no means for a tune.... Dunno if I can hire a music writer for x.t.r.GRAPHICS in time or not....  XD

Thanks, Jim.

I'm not sure if its the sort of thing the competition organisers had in mind, but we'll see how well it does.
It's not graphically impressive, nor does it have any music - but it should prove slightly amusing for a few minutes, and getting it to work this well in Javascript should be some sort of achievement.

heh. I had to switch to the devil browser (IE) to get it to work, but yeah, it was fun. I liked the witch, that was a very nice touch. I kept the pumpkin going for a good few minutes till I gave up. Yay for halloween!

I've just watched all the submissions so far, and I now have a brick in my pants.  :-\
