props to the peep's who got there entries in ... and to the one's who tried,we feel ya ... dev-ing aint easy. 
time to old skool game and chill for a while .... then it's judg-in time and a difficult one at that.
This comp was a bit of a learning experience ... gain some insight into older 8 bit systems, very useful none the less.

Well done to everyone who got their games in for the deadline. Shame not everyone could make the finish line this time but we all know how hard it is to get a complete, working game done to a tight deadline. Nice to see Derron made it in the end with the tightest of deadlines. 6 mins !!!!!! I thought it was only me who ended up getting that close to missing it

I've not looked at a bit of code all day yesterday as even the thought of it makes me feel a bit queasy at the moment. Roll on the voting as there's some really fucking great games to judge this time.

Well done folks - it's a huge effort to design and code any game in 8 weeks!  Looking forward to playing all the entries.

I thought of putting the sources for "Genus Prime" on Github - but I feel a bit ashamed as it is not of the source quality I like such stuff to be (there is a big "genusprime.bmx" file which holds many game types/classes instead of encapsulating everything properly (like I did for my framework).

If there is interest I would upload it this afternoon when being back from the laboratories or I first clean up stuff und upload later then.

BTW: without my framework's code I've written about 300kb of code for Genus Prime (with framework code we end up at ~3MB or so). What about yours?

I was disappointed trawling through and adding all the imagery to the executables folder I was so screen/code wearified yesterday. I was hoping the Blitz3D executable would've just incorporated all the image files 'magically'. Very well done to all and sundries entrants

I'd have been a damn sight less consumed with testing had I known there was a bug fix week. Sfair enuf though.... Spent a whole 3 mins looking into a feature, very quickly realised I'd rather find something new to watch on telly. What with mourning the death of my Winosows7 machine and all...... Might be time for a new hobby.

There's an acronym called RTFM. I think we should have one for the SyntaxBomb game comps called RTFR

Rule 12 :

12.. There will be a one week gap after the comp ends before voting starts to allow members to play the games and for developers to fix any bugs in their game and re-upload. Once voting commences then no further bug fixes can be submitted until after voting has been completed.

You don't have a decent PC at the moment?

Congrats and good luck to all who entered. This has been great fun and I learned quite a bit from it. Like how to narrow my focus with the KISS method ;p
