Hello all! I'd like to invite you all to our bi-annual TINS (Tins Is Not SpeedHack) (http://tins.amarillion.org)​ KrampusHack 2020 edition! Spend not quite 3 weeks on a game for someone as their secret santa. This means you will get a game too. Use of Allegro 5 (4?) is encouraged, but not by any means required. Doesn't have to be in C or C++. Use of Rust and D has been done, as well as JS game in a browser.

Come join the fun over the holidays with your friendly host allegro.cc, Join the thread here :

Download and enjoy! Please leave comments on individual games on their respective thread on allegro.cc or otherwise leave them here and I'll make sure they get to the intended author of the game.

Gameplay video!

Ah yes, it was a good event! 11 out of 16 participants submitted something, some really neat games came out.

I still can't decide which is my favorite. Yukidaruma is a simple but addictive. Repercussion 2 is technically very advanced, but not too original and it has balance problems. I think in the end Dungeon Simulator has the most depth and the most replay value.

There will be another 72h hack in the summer. Sign up for the google group (https://groups.google.com/g/tinscompetition)​ if you want to get notified.
