So let's start coding!!!

:||

I really ought to start that IDE up again. Its about time I made something. So I will try and see if I can't kick myself into making something for this.

Congratulations shockwave...nicely done.

@ Zawran: Perhaps it's the ideal excuse for you to do something with that lib of yours? :)
@ Taj, Looking forward to seeing what you come up with mate!

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)

Thanks very much Druid, and many thanks also for posting the news item :) Glad you liked the invite, Wham and Roly will be pleased.

Yip, glad you like it, thanx.

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

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.

Kick ass demo/intro/comptro you guys.

Another display of organized masterful production. </suck>

I'm in!  1 prod coming your way.

Very nice indeed.

Thank you for putting up such a cool competition incl. a great intro. Really looking
forward to see all the entries...

All I can say is  ;D

I won't be entering this one myself, but I will be entering another comp that I know will be coming up in the not too distant future.

I'll start today....or when I finish my engine ;)

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.

haloween has two Ls btw :)

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

:)

Only 3 days left eek, I better get coding  :skint:

 :o

Damn time flies.... I've been busy with my Jeep, getting it running, rally racing it through my field, I forgot about this thing.... :-X

3 days? hmm.. Maybe, I had some ideas, and got a few things done..... ::) .....  :P

XD

Impossible for me ... unfortunately ...

I have a 7-days work week atm - so few spare time. Sorry for not taking part...

Anyway - looking forward to all the entries !!!

Yep, get them entries in :) I'm really hoping that we'll have some more before the deadline!!

I'm finished - where do I send it?

[edit]
I have altered the read-me file to include a note about how to prepare the unzipped files.

[edit]
I have removed the download, as it has its own topic now.

Post here!

I think I can get mine done for tomorrow night too :D

Jim

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!

Devil browser: well, it is nearly halloween.

Great to see entries coming in. I'll be back home on Thursday, looking forward to watching them all!

Yeah, there are some really great ones too  ;D

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

It looks like I need to brush up on my 3Ding skills.

I'm trying to get my entry finished, its no where near what I wanted it to be but hopefully I can get something finished in the next hour..

Ok, just to let you all know, had some issues tonight but... I will compile all the wonderful entries for voting on tomorrow evening :)

Thank you all so much everyone who entered and good luck in the voting!!

I'll probably do a "full" version of mine with some sort of background music, different themes, etc. after the voting.
