Ok hello everyone!
Are you a bgt developer wanting to become famous and popular?
Here is the Oriol Gómez bgt contest, one day, one hit.
You will have one day to create a game in bgt... Yes, only one day, but that's not the best part.
Best part is: The game will be voiced in English and Spanish, by yours truly. And if some of your sounds can be replaced for better ones, I will do so. You just need to come up with the code, a readme file and good enough sounds for the game to be evaluated.
Readme will be translated into Spanish as well, of course.
IT will be integrated with oriolgomez.com updates and message of the day system, and your name will appear in the download page, readme and the game's introduction.
I will of course be coding my own game as well, and there will be three winners: First place, second place and third place.
Now, since I am going to e participating as well, we will need a jury which will consist of a number of people that I will decide depending on how many people actually participate.
So, here are the dates
April 4th (today): Promotion and jury selection and game ideas.
April 5th: game ideas reception and final adjustments
April 6th: Coding!
April 8th: Winners announcement
April 11th: 3 game launch!

Do not post your game ideas here, if you do that you will be automatically disqualified. Anyone who wants to participate or become part of the jury should send an email to the following address:
ogomez.s92{at}gmail.com

Now get to work!

sad I love this idea. ... Even though I've made games in one day before (the Sword Game and Le Petit Planet), and a few others in under a week... I tried repeating this feat just 3 days ago and failed miserably.
But because I want this to succeed, I might try anyway, assuming the important bits in the next 48 hours work out.

[edit]
It would be helpful to clarify what the entry email should contain. smile

The entry email for now should just contain your idea (a description of the game) and your name, not much else. smile

you should change the coding day to a weekend day like saturday or sunday so that people actually have a better chance at having the whole day to code. Wednesday is actually pretty blank for me but it might not be for others.

Yep, I sent you a private message on the forum. I don't have access to my casual email from school.

Oh, question about includes and such. It would obviously go against the spirit of the contest to use something you've already been working on, but what about useful includes / libraries / etc? I don't remember how Philip Bennefall's BGT competition handled this (was it "no third party includes", "publish all includes ahead of time", or something else?).

You bet your bottom dollar I'll be participating. I checked with him this morning and he said my handy dandy reader class that I use is OK. I can't work without it so yeah.

I sent an email. Hopefully it's not too late, but maybe the trouble I had with the idea to use is problem enough on its own?

I replied to your email smile and yes you can use includes of course.
If you guys don't have time tomorrow for some reason, you can start today. Just make sure you submit your entries via email tomorrow night, whenever tomorrow night in your timezone is.

ah darn to bad this ain't on the weekend hehehe got school or would have joined.

I am a web designer, and a game developer. If you wish see me at http://www.samtupy.com

Update. i Have decided, to make this fair, that I will be part of the jury and not participating. It is obvious that the jury could decide in my favour given that they know my voice etc, so only you will be aprticipating. we have quite a few entries, so let's rock!

Oriol,
Instead of having a jury voting, how about posting the games and have everyone vote?
I could also post the winner on my games page at,
http://www.pcs-games.net
I'm updating it right now.

Okay, so my game is complete, do I send it as an attachment or will a DB link work as well.

Well, good news is, I have a submission ready. Bad news is, I am so dissatisfied with it it hurts. Will you feel the same? Let's find out!

Hi,
@cae I kind of feel the same about my entry. I only had a few hours to code because I had homework on both Tuesday and Wednesday,so I couldn't really do anything big. If it had been on a weekend I could've, but ah well.

2016-04-07 19:06:13

So will the judging be done over skype or something? Will we be able to receive crits on our progs?

I wish someone created a competition where you could code a game of your own language. I know a bit of BGT and snagging up the rest wouldn't be too hard but it would take more than 2 day notice.

If you have issues with Scramble, please contact support at the link below. I check here at least once a day, so this is the best avenue for submitting your issues and bug reports.

So any news on this? LOL. Was kind of bummed I didn't get to listen to any of the judges play the games yesterday.
