The time has finally come to see the results of everyones great work on their IRC game bots. If everyone could please post at least their source code here(or link to download/github/other source control) and possible a link to the channel it operates in the poll will start tomorrow to see who the winner is. Submissions will be stopped at 2pm CST August 27th.

Unless people have complaints the poll will start tomorrow and end a week after.

Remember the rules and see the FAQ here http://ourl.ca/16662

That sucks sorunome asked me to post his so I'll package it up real quick and post it in a second

EDIT: Uploaded it. Will compile/put on a server later

Well it appears the contest ended and noone except sorunome submitted an entry...

I'll give it another day or two before ending it just to make sure someone doesnt miss out

Here's my submission:

There's an instance running on EFNet, just DCC CHAT it if you want to play

Didn't entered due to lack of time and other projects, finally. Sorry guys.

One issue was probably summertime, but even during school people might be busy as well. Also it would probably help in the future to make those contests longer (at least two months) and perhaps Omnimaga official contests, because the only way to get a non-calc contest featured/promoted on Omnimaga's front page and all over the forums would be if it was made as an Omnimaga contest (although I guess for that a staff would need to be involved or offer prizes). That might help on the popularity.

Also maybe it would be better to have a contest involving a non-text-based game in the future. Most people in the TI community hates menu/word-only games, because of how bad Ticalc was flooded with them since its opening.

Also if the deadline of this one is extended, could it be possible to make executables of source-only submissions (if any)? That way, everyone can try them without hassle and it won't hurt someone's chances of winning if he only posted the source code with no executable. A lot of Omni users are not computer-litterate enough to figure out or devote extra time to compile people's release themselves.

I've thought of extending it but for projects like this its a lot more likely for people to lose focus after 3 weeks then it is for more people to be joining in. The people who are submitting have had their bots mostly finished for the past week. also I was fine with sharing anything about the program before the contest ends. I just warn that someone might try to take ideas/source(though probably not the latter we're a good community) poll will be up later to choose the winner it will go on for a week. During that week submit ideas for the next contest so we can start the idea poll right afterwards

yeah I think I'll put it at 3 days for submissions next time like I ended up doing this time

I'm writing the poll for voting now
