Socoder -> Wednesday Workshop

Wednesday Workshop #069 : The Three Hour Challenge
Time until Deadline

Week : 04 October 2006
The Reason : This week, HyruleKnight suggested that we have two weeks for the Workshop instead of just one. Apparently one week is nowhere near enough.. Bah!!....

The Challenge : Set yourself a 3 hour time period. Or if you don't have a single 3 hour slot during this week, 3 single hour ones will do. Make a note of the time you start, and the time you finish. You have 3 hours to make the best game you can.

Extra Info
You can make any game you like. But you only have 3 hours to do it in. And no cheating by spending 8 hours on artwork.. The art+sound must also be done/ripped from the net within the 3 hour time period.
It's like a Coding Exam

Weekly Rules/How to Enter
You have until Tuesday Night/Wednesday Morning 00:00 BST to submit your levels. ^ See Deadline Link! ^

Things are starting to come back together. Wed.Workshop is being posted at SoCoder and DevCrunch
Each site's forum should have a Workshop topic for this week.

If you can't figure it out, 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 once a voting system has been organised..

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.

Last Week's Games
Somebody entered!!
Mike_G wins the Turn Based challenge, 'cos he was the only entry.
For those of you who can't remember that far back, a winner wins nothing!

It's all for fun!

Hmmm...

Could I possibly use JavaScript? Or is scripting cheating?

Jay's Entry : Green Snake

I might do another if I'm bored


And, um, I guess it depends on how much actual coding is involved in the Javascript.. If you did it in Blitz would it take around about the same amount of coding, or is 99% of the thing done for you?
If it's 99% already done, don't use Javascript.

I'd say it was the other way round - in Blitz, everything is 99% done for you.

I'm just gonna go with Blitz though. Saves any arguments.
