well, I still think there should be scoring on the game based on if it's extremly slow and unplayable of if there's full of errors. Most code-related scoring would probably be in the "Gameplay/controls quality" category

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but who are the judges going to be for this contest? I kinda feel suddenly motivated to participate in this contest. If you need some judges, I wouldn't mind reviewing some games, otherwise I think I'll submit an entry of my own :)

Currently, the judges are  noah, DJ, and myself.  Right now the plan (as far as I know) is that the judges will agree (by consensus) on the top few entries in each category and then there will be a poll, so if there are too many judges it might make the selection a bit tricky (but if there aren't enough then the selection might be a bit biased).  We probably don't need a fourth judge so you should be able to make an entry (we can always force persuade some of the staff members that haven't made entries if we're short on judges :).

Alright, has anyone decided to attempt defining 'platformer'?
I always thought they were sidescrollers... with platforms and pitfalls and the like.
(Which is how wikipedia describes it; paraphrased of course)

Though, now I'm seeing these top-down games as entries and I'm lost.
So... what do we qualify as a 'platformer' exactly?

Anything where you jump on blocks, platforms and the like. It can be 2D side scrolling or 3D. Top down view also work as long as you can jump on platforms and stuff. It can be games like Block Dude, Super Mario, Metroid, Falldown (altough I don't think a game simple as falldown game will stand a chance in this contest), Ice Climber, Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie. Pretty much everything where you jump on blocks, platforms and stuff. However I don't recommend going too much toward RPG platformers, because you might not even have time to finish half of your entry before the deadline, since RPGs takes so long to make

No worries.
I have the entire engine for a 2D sidescrolling puzzle platformer.
Only took about 4 hours and all that's left is making the levels.
...and the menu.
Maybe a highscore of some sort.

I was just curious as to EXACTLY what you all found to be a sidscroller.

I kinda liked the old one, altough it reminded me a bit too much of the revsoft incidents (since an user there who was involved used the exact same avatar with just colors inverted). Also it wasn't scary to me, just surprised me as soon as I scrolled down to an {AP} post due to the licking :P, personally I prefered the dark version you had to the one Snake X has on Revsoft, though
the new one is cool, though, did you made all the stuff?

mhmm I am unsure, maybe you did some sort of weird sequence when posting idk.

EDIT: mhmm, actually, I think he was updating my exorcist image with his post, but then I edited mine before he notices, which is why he took his post down

(good thing this wasn't the randomness section, though, else I would have posted a different exorcist pic that is more gory :P, nothing along the lines of DShiznit stuff on Cemetech tho)
