Symmetry Competition 2014

very cool... #11 broccoli is my fave

definitely not going to make it with an entry.. even pared down I hit a wall of zero time, good weather and more excuses...

I was going to reproduce (and possibly improve) a scene from this old demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLJPL5Nsqdk a personal favourite of mine..  scene in question is at 4:47.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLJPL5Nsqdk

I just arrived from holidays the very night the compo was about to end. Thought for a little maybe to do a symmetrical voxel polar effect, from some old sources but here I didn't had the compiler ready, and in the laptop where I originally had this project, I had uninstalled the OS at the time. And time was few.
But when I saw there weren't enough entries, maybe I should have made some fast thing in SDL just to contribute. But now is too late.

Sorry for the lack of posts, as I've had access problems since Monday. I'm back now, so I'll go over all of the entries and hopefully have the voting open tonight.

You hosted this challenge like a pro CK, well done! 

Would've loved to see your enter as well Optimus and Canopy, both of those sound like some fine entries we missed out on.
I learned something here, no matter how far off the deadline actually is I will always start just a little bit too late...

Thank you, though I did copy and paste some of it

Indeed - I thought 2 months would be excessive. Perhaps running it so close to the popular Christmas competition was a reason why so many were unable to enter, as they were busy with other things which the Christmas season had delayed.

I don't really think it was too close but in the easter season a lot of my colleagues take holidays (especially those with kids), so typically all deadlines are due right before easter and work becomes frantically busy...

I've also spotted another flaw in the execution of this comp - I forgot to ask the admins to send an email to all members to announce its existence. Whoops.

i've only just now found the time/inclination to sit back down coding again (schools are back, so the mrs is back at work..) and first thing on the list is to finish what i had started with this challenge. i guess i know theres little chance of more coding after this beyond mar/apr!
