I have just got my new router and I am downloading the games :D I shall test them out later on tonight and submit my votes. I can't wait to test these games out :D.

On a side note, I have my new computer :D Now I can play games with sound and make them too.

I've been alerted that when compiled with MSVC my entry might not work correctly on Windows.
Dario ff has been kind enough compile it with mingw for me, so a binary is available here: (This is the submitted code that has been compiled)

Also, I think there's a chance my winreadme.txt is not up to date with me regaulr readme.txt, but it is only license ...

Im now single had to get a new place and have no internet at my new place yet. Should get the net by Thursday the latest

Overall, I'll label this SpeedHack a success.

On top of time constraints, it has been a few years since I've used C++, so I was a little rusty. I use C# most of the time now, so it was mostly an issue of remembering how archaic C++ is ;). I haven't had to do my own memory management in ages, but I don't think I have any glaring memory leaks. Oh, and the bass-ackward header file system bit me a few times - I'm used to just updating my implementation as I see fit ...

Well, I didn't get very far into implementing my idea before I was pulled away from coding.

My idea was essentially going to be a (slightly) modified version of the dice game '10 Thousand', except it was going to use colours instead of dice. I'm not sure how I would be able to incorporate the 'Laziness' rule... I was thinking if the computer player got too far ahead then it would begin making terrible decisions... For the 'Brainwashing Propaganda' I had planned ...

Well this year was tough. I had almost no time due to other commitments. I'd never used Allegro 5 before, and my C++ was rusty as all get out. But I made something that meets the rules, though it's not the most playable. :)

Check out "Zombies Love You" and let me know what you think! :)

With less than 20 minutes on the clock, I decided to invoke The Act of Chameleon. I am invoking the Act of Chameleon to replace "Laziness" with "Krakka-BOOM".

Just submitted a newer version. Man, I tweaked this thing to the very end!

I hope you guys enjoy! ;)

Finally finished this hideous game, with 28 minutes to spare!
Successfully compiled in Linux, though couldn't run it. I suspect it's my VM acting up.

Speedhack: CHECK

Well, for the second time my weekend is occupied with family matters so I will not be able to finish. Hopefully next time will be different.
Cheers!

An hour to make a game! Awesome planning is crucial!
Anyways, my game features scores, getting easier / heavier as it goes, propaganda bits, it DEFINATELY washes brains out of skulls and i even managed to pull off some voice recorded sound effects and composed music :)

So what happened... I chopped off half of the code, and then the usual development stuff. Bugs, things you hadn't thought out etc. First time I ran into buffer overflow bug (that didn't crash my program :-X ). Fixed it immediately thanks to dbg 8-)
Spend two hours last night trying to compile on windows. (Oh, my god, I can't even compile a program!) Then I decided to work on the font file which didn't work !@^&@#
I didn't shower last night. And I don't ...

My entry is up now, too! To entice you to play it, here is a screenshot of the title. I made it with Gimp. You can, as well: just go to File > Create > Logos > Neon...

I'm looking forward to playing everyone else's entries.

After 0.5h of work i have a game ready, time to add some tunes and I'm done!

I used the chameleon wildcard bonus rule to swap "Colour symbolism" with something i might have implemented, and here I go with "Oral sound effects". See you soon!

Uhm... I'm so late, but I still can make it. Can't decide on chameleon thingie yet.

Wish me luck!

Here, have a finished in-game screenshot. :)

No one was around to test in Linux or with MSVC for me, and I need sleep! So I hope it's OK.

Hope everyone enjoys it! I ...

It's 3:44 AM local time and I submitted my entry. I got it to compile on Linux (gcc 4.5.2) and on Windows (mingw 4.4) so that should be good. I'm too tired to make Windows binaries right now, but I'll get on it later. The game has an annoying enet dependency (no Windows binaries on the internets), but it shouldn't be too bad.

Hopefully I didn't forget anything in my zip file :/.

Anyone wanna give me some peace of mind and confirm my entry compiles?

Pretty much done, just need to confirm that it compiles on Linux.

Added a massive GUI:
