Well, I guess I'll enter. Its not like we have to pay for entrance. I'll enter as long as I can keep it under the size limit andactually workable. Graphics don't count, right?

Graphics don't count. Just looking for gameplay and that you follow the rules.
Underwater theme :) -Ryan | |
I've removed the requirement for the contest that it must be underwater themed. Yours can still have an underwater theme it won't count towards or agaisnt you.

Actually I had a great idea for a underwater theme =D
But now I can do as I wish! I'm sure I'm gonna think of something good I just have to wait for a good idea to pop out :P O-matic | |
Hey, that was the rule that was going to make it interesting.....Well, I'll still stick with that theme, but I'll be able to include a bit more now that it doesn't have to be entirely underwater.

The way I see it, one contraint is very good for a contest, but two not quite as helpful. 4K is often enough to get imaginations jump-started, or the underwater theme would certainly also make a good contest, but together they may overly limit a lot of people. I myself am taking a stab at a 4K game and kind of let the program get away from me before I realized it was not an underwater theme at all. Lummox JR | |

OK, good. I'll probably be making most of them myself, so the graphics will likely suck. That's okay; sometimes sucky graphics can give you a great themeatic idea. Scream of the Stickster was born when I took my idea of making a 4K maze game and added crappy stick figures. Lummox JR | |
Well since there's nothing in the rules that doesn't stop me entering a game I wrote before the 4k challenge was issued, I'm going to go ahead and submit my RG (Reaction Game) to the challenge.
If I have time (I've got lots of exams), I'll make a brand new game specifically for the 4K Challenge '05. | |
I have no idea what I'll make, but I know I want to make something.
Yikes. Just over a month. Have yet to finish a game, I guess this is a good enough initiative. Woo. | |
One question, if you send in more than one entry, can you win more than once?

In addition to my list of possible suggested #define replacements I thought the rules said you can't use anything in the .dme other than what the compiler generates, and if you put it in the .dm files you're probably going to end up paying the some amount for it. Although I suppose some will still work out cheaper. | |
