I'm in.  I might just complete in time too, for a change lol.

[Xerra]

OMG THEY KILLED KENNY! THOSE BASTARDS KILLED KENNY!

I had my entry 90% completed as well. Now I'll have to start again....

Ok, so I had just started working on a screen transition, which isn't working right, and fuck all else. But that's not the point :-)

I'm in anyway - as for what, I have no idea.

Just don't get so caught up in the graphics that you forget you need to actually code a game around them as well. Not that this has happened to you before.... erm, erm.... Yes, focus, Steve :-)

[Steve Elliott]

lol I nearly completed my vector graphics game in time 

I'm just not that familiar with AGK so like to 'experiment' and time runs away from me.   

[Qube]

Yeah, Steve, get on with it

So we have a free for all and I’ve no idea what to do, typical must decide tonight so I can dive in. Unity or AGK? Hmmm, do I dare do my own 3D models or hack away at 2D? Oh the choices. Should of set a theme

[blinkok]

It appears somebody really did kill kenney! ;-)
Sorry. Old joke

I'm thinking Parallax! 

[metamorpho]

New "Code a Game Competition" - perfect news !!
 The theme "Go Nuts!". Tell me what options might correspond to such a topic? Maybe there are some examples of games?

[iWasAdam]

well... I'm thinking Retro, 2d, Amiga, Classic, Redux... 

I'm thinking 1988. Uno - Dos - Tres - Quatro... Overdrive

The names will be changed to protect the innocent... Thunderbirds are GO....

[Steve Elliott]

Metamorpho, it just means create any game you want.

[iWasAdam]

well I'm gonna kick things off with a nice master palette I just created...
