Socoder -> Wednesday Workshop -> #079 - The Food Challenge
Tue, 12 Dec 2006, 16:59
Jayenkai	Wednesday Workshop #079 : The Food Challenge Time until Deadline Week : 13 December 2006 The Reason : Holy Cow, it's nearly Xmas! One of the most important things on Christmas day is sitting down to a wonderfully cooked Christmas dinner. Mmmm.. Turkey! And if you're lucky, you don't have to cook it all! The Challenge : Make a game about cooking, or eating, or something otherwise food related. It doesn't have to be christmassy if you don't want it to be! Weekly Rules/How to Enter You have until Tuesday Night/Wednesday Morning 00:00 BST to submit your levels. ^ See Deadline Link! ^ Wed.Workshop is at SoCoder.co.nr. If you can read this, you're already here! Stick your entry underneith this post. (I'll get round to uploads, sometime, honest!) If you can't figure it out, or have a really rubbish server, send it to Jayenkai@Gmail.com and I'll stick it straight onto the SoCoder (Official Wed.Workshop) site. Entries will be collected during the week, and entered into next week's voting. (If there are any entries..) All entries will be entered into voting which will take place if there's more than one entry.. Please try to keep all entries within small file sizes. 2Mb absolute maximum. Additional Rules are available at the SoCoder (Official Wed.Workshop) site, under the list of previous workshops. (Click the Wed.Workshop thing, over on the left!) Last Week's Games There were two incredibly similar entries. MikeG posted first, and then Jayenkai posted a game which looked like he'd nicked the idea, even though he honestly didnt.... It was purely coincidental!! Vote for them here. Leaving a comment lets you post a vote. The game with the highest overall percentage wins. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	WW pretty much died on it's arse just before CW closed, then CW closed and it all went to pot. But I'm too stubborn to quit now -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

shroom_monk	WW will never die! If it does I'll go on strike! And all Shroomists everywhere will too. Wait, that's just me. And I don't have a job! Grrr... -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away... Keep It Simple, Shroom!

andrewsoltan	I know this sounds as a stupid question, but can we make it in Flash (using actionscript and button controls) rather than Blitz?
Sat, 16 Dec 2006, 02:03
shroom_monk	There is no rule on what language you do it in. This isn't a Blitz-only site, you know. -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away... Keep It Simple, Shroom!

andrewsoltan	Thanks, I'll get going with it, It should be easy as soon as I've perfected my hit test script.

shroom_monk	In the mean time, I'm working on my mushroom based game! -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away... Keep It Simple, Shroom!

shroom_monk	I'm currently working on my entry: Super Sledge Shroom Pick-Up!!! This game involves replenishing Shroom Monk's shroom supply, and for the first time, the world gets to see the amazing, wonderful... cartoon representation of me!!!! -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away... Keep It Simple, Shroom!

andrewsoltan	All I've got to worry about is finishing my entery in time, that hit test is driving me crazy, everything except for it is done so as soon as thats sussed, my entry's ready.

andrewsoltan	Update: Finished my WW entry and sent it to Jayenki 12hrs ago). I've kind of made an adaptation if you want to have a look at it, the shroom monk challenge. Anyway, Jay should get round to uploading it soon.

Jayenkai	Sorry to say, I've not yet received any such email. Try again, compressing it as a rar. If you've still no luck, shove it online somewhere, let me know where via PM, and then I'll pop it on the site for you. (Is it just me, or is GMail losing lots of mails, lately?) -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

shroom_monk	OK, my entry is in! It's called 'Super Sledge Shroom Pick-Up', and you can find it in the Showcases (cos I don't have time to put in a link). -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away... Keep It Simple, Shroom!

magicman	ok well, this really has nothing to do with food, so just imagine that the green square is a turkey and the blue things are flys trying to get the turkey. all you have to do is not touch the blue things with the green thing.
