OMG! I might want to give it a shot! :punk:

Cool

Is there likely to be a category for newcomers and another for DIV veterans? it doesn't seem fair that all of the old hands could be going head to head with someone that's just picked up the language. But that's just my two cents :p

MikeDX - 14-3-2016 at 01:07 AM

Maybe some considerations will have to be made for old timers, but it's a fairly level playing field given that nobody uses DIV anymore.

Dennis - 14-3-2016 at 12:40 PM

I am against labeling contestants. In my opinion DIV experience doesn't matter. I think someone with professional programming knowledge without DIV experience is no less a challenge than a DIV hobbyist veteran.

Also, the point is making games and have fun, not winning a prize.

Edit: Ok, maybe a bit for the winning adrenaline! :cool:

Fair enough, I suppose if it's someone more inexperienced then they could simply pick a simpler game to code and a game that's more complicated has no intrinsically higher value or playability than a simpler one

So, what's with this Code Golf forum then? is that going to be the theme - golf? xo

Dennis - 15-3-2016 at 12:25 PM

Then I will call it Flog and the purpose will be hitting the club whilst swinging around your balls.

Seriously though, I want to start already :P What is the theme? </unpatient>

The theme is

Don't forget Ludumdare might come before this

BreadCaster - 15-3-2016 at 01:34 PM

Depending on what I can do with the theme and how busy I am I *might* participate. i don't really want to make a conventional golf game, tbh I kind of already have an idea for what sort of game I'd love to make - but yeah :smilegrin:

MikeDX - 15-3-2016 at 05:22 PM

The theme is not golf, that is a different set of competitions.

dom cook - 15-3-2016 at 08:28 PM

Dammit! I've just spent 4 hours working on a golf game. What a donut! I guess I could modify it a bit.

Really?

Well looks like we could have a golf theme I suppose

Although knowing the theme in advance is a bit cheating!

BreadCaster - 15-3-2016 at 11:55 PM

To be honest, as long as I can somehow work my (quite broad) idea that I already have into the forthcoming compo theme then I don't mind what it is. I have a hankering to make a particular kind of game :p

I think I'll stick with it either way. It was just what I needed to get me off my butt. I've been opening and closing DIV for a week now, wondering if I could get back into it. It's all flooding back now.

You're in for a treat then, just don't hold your breath. There's a fairway to go.
