contest

I''ve had at least a half-dozen people email me with questions about it, so I think I can safely say that you''re not the only one.

I''m just waiting for monkeyman to annouce that he''ll be making his breast-slapping game as an entry

I''m interested in the contest but I have no time.

I WOULD enter, but I lack a few things.
*Time
*Knowlege of physics
*Ect.Ect...

I''m probably going to enter, I''m just trying to figure out what to make without having to get too math heavy. (Hey, I''m lazy!)

If you can make a physics program without getting too math heavy, I think you should win simply on principle!

Always remember, you''''re unique. Just like everyone else.

The prize for this contest seems somewhat odd...Write the best physics code and you win a book... on how to write physics code?

However, that''s not a big deal..That sort of stuff seems to exist in many online/computer contests (eg. write the best GF3 pixel shader -- win a GF3!).

Yeah, you should give it to the one who has written the WORST code!

I''d like to enter, but I''ve got no time. I''m trying to get a game finished by September whilst doing a degree course.

I plan on entering, but whether or not I get time to work on it is another thing.

Question: Just how much physics needs to be in an entry? Would a falling object count?

I''ve already started (kinda). My entery is kinda weak though.
It''s the best easy thing I could come up with, I too am running short in the time dept.

I already have the book though, so it''s ok that I wont win.

Yeah, it would count, but unless it''s one of three entries, you''re not gonna win anything

Hopefully I will have enough time to get an entry in. In the mean time I have final exams. Ack!

Hmm, I think I''ve noticed a trend... Most of you that say "I''ll do this if I have time" are wasting all of your precious time in here! Get busy, guys!!!

On second thought, don''t participate, that way I can win

I never even knew about it until you posted. Afterwhich I thought, Hey, I could troll the contest and put a program that takes a name of a hydrocarbon, or hydrocarbon derivative, and draw it on the screen, but I noticed a trend of people not realising when I am being sarcastic (I am pretty sure "Watching pigs fly would be nice too" was a major clue in one thread) so I decided against it.

I think I might enter a Bang! Bang! clone written in SDL, but I would need somebody to compile it for windows, and I am not sure if the judges computers will even have the runtime DLL for SDL (!>_<!).

Just so that some people know what I am doing, cause I will prolly be too busy forum whoring to do it, Bang! Bang! is a game where you have two cannons, one for each player. You specify the angle and the amount of force you want, trying to hit the other player.
