Socoder -> Wednesday Workshop -> #086 - The Tall Challenge
Tue, 06 Feb 2007, 16:54
Jayenkai	Wednesday Workshop #086 : The Tall Challenge Time until Deadline Week : 7 January 2007 The Reason : Looks like they're going to try to relaunch the NGage. Let's all laugh at the silly vertical screen! The Challenge : This week, create a game using a resolution of 320 x 600... Without it being a Tetris clone! Extra Info 320x600 is a nice workable resolution. Graphics 320,600,32,2 ^ Not sure how "Fullscreen" will cope, so stick with Windowed mode. 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 probably already there! Stick your entry underneath this post, leaving a link to your exe or the source of your game, or whatever. (I'll get round to allowing 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 is the average maximum for files. Additional Rules are available at the SoCoder (Official Wed.Workshop) site, under the list of previous workshops. Last Week's Games Two entries, last week. Mike G got us to find rectangles, and Magicman opted to chase circles. Which game wins, You decide!! Comment on the entries, and don't forget to leave votes. The game with the highest rating at the end of the week is declared the winner. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

skypenguin	In honour of our school being shut today due to lovely snow, I may enter. Yeay snow!

power mousey	true, skypenguin enjoy your snow day. but, you'll probably have to make it up. We did when it snowed in Kirkland, Washington and our high school..Juanita High School...cancelled for a few days. I went sledding with my friends, played my music a lot, read up on the Narnia books, and especially caught up on my homework too. cheers, power mousey

skypenguin	Well, it's closed tomorrow then there's the weekend, and next week is half term. So we're free for the next 11 days. Yipee. In my old school, there once was a Blizzard, and the school was closed for only 1 day, but no extra work at all. And the only homework we had was to revise for a test on Friday, which we won't be completing.
