Oh ok lol. That said, it's not like the judging scores impacted the vote results this much, because they were very close compared to the previous contest. I'll post a new topic with the results when ready.

I hope everybody's shooting for first place! But if there's one thing I've always said, it's that the first place podium thingy gets crowded easily...so it'll be interesting to see who stays on top!

I do. But voting shows how popular your game is among the players. And I think that's most important

Well, even though it doesn't have as many votes as others, it doesn't mean it is bad, some people might not even have a PC to play it on. (or are just to lazy

)

I know, but it still gives an idea. I think this also shows what platforms people have available. Perhaps that's one of the reasons why c4ooo did so well in the voting round, because everybody loves calculators

heh

Yeah I think part of the reason is some people cant run other games/are too lazy to, so they end up voting for a certain game thats easiest to run. However, the other games were pretty good and probably better than mine.(#GRUMBLINGABOUTLOSING)

You haven't lost yet

the judging results aren't in

u/JWinslow23 February 03, 2016, 03:05:54 AM

I mean, mine was a simple online site, or a .exe if you downloaded from the thread. Talk about laziness

u/semiprocoder February 03, 2016, 03:07:50 AM

Idk, scratch is laggy for me for some reason, so I had to run the swf file.

Yeah that's the main problem with multi-platform contests. But splitting it in multiple categories would have not only resulted into everyone winning by default, but it would also bankrupted CodeWalrus.

Anyway now that the results are out, I'm gonna close the two topics and redirect everyone to the results topic for discussion
