Wasn't there already a gold Walrii?

Yeah, hence why for the medals they would be more like tokens with a resized walrii in it.

I should make a fancy winner userbar.

Unicorn · May 01, 2015, 06:47:09 PM

The userbar shoud be custom for the user.

alexgt · May 01, 2015, 07:20:48 PM

The user bar should be a scaled up 4x3 of the game they made!

Dream of Omnimaga · May 02, 2015, 12:38:05 AM

Actually that seems like a good idea

. It should probably also include a scaled down copy of the medal.

Also thanks guys for the comments and suggestions about the contest. Even though we might not always agree 100% with everything, I'm happy that CodeWalrus members tell us or our users directly what they have issues with instead of in their back. Politics-aside, I wish good luck to the contestants and don't forget to backup your work (and other projects) often to avoid bad surprises, especially with hard drives and people who code directly on-calc.

Do you think this contest should be announced on other websites?

I think it would do something for publicity, but Its your choice.

About backing up I my calc reset and NAGOJI 4x3 got deleted but it is all good (I did some pretty noob coding looking at my out of date back up so it will hopefully be better made now

)

Ouch, hopefully you can prevent such data loss in thr future. I guess rewrites don't hurt sometimes, providing the author doesn't end up doing an endless rewrite cycle like some past calc projects (E:SoR anyone?)

alexgt · May 02, 2015, 08:17:32 PM

Yeah the code now is much more organized and I am backing it up on calc whenever I fix any major bugs or make it do more stuff but luckly I think the rewrite was for the better this time (I don't want it to happen again though

)

Sorry if the question is a bit obvious, but is sound allowed?

Snektron · May 08, 2015, 09:19:55 PM

it doesnt say you arent

Unicorn · May 08, 2015, 09:32:58 PM

I have an idea...

If only I could figure out how to integrate sound into a program :|

Yes but during judging we don't use speakers/headphones, so gameplay that is heavily dependent on sound is not recommended.

Your entry must also not require extra hardware like some of the programs that @Keoni29 made in the past.

Unicorn · May 09, 2015, 03:25:26 AM

Ya know what would be cool? A garageband type program.

TIfanx1999 · May 09, 2015, 05:55:33 AM

So yea, this is a pretty cool contest idea. It really tests your creativity. I'm thinking I might enter with a rougelike RPG.
