I voted for Axe, mainly because that was the only program on the list that I had had any experience with at the time.

Axe
DCS
Mimas

I voted for Axe because it's what made me enter the calculator community, although if it was next year, I'd probably be voting Doors CS ;D

I feel that I would have a good chance of getting a POTY if I ever finish one of my large projects :P

We sometimes start coding and the idea is awesome, we feel like we can even get a POTY! However, when we start the coding we find it harder than we imagined. That's why I tend to have low expectactions on my software :)

Yeah it's why if we did not code massive projects before, we must start small enough. Else we get overwhelmed at the hard work.

Hmmmm if i was serious about getting a POTY, you think finishing *both* programs would split votes for me? o.O in any event, I currently think PortalX is a lot closer to being completed than Serenity O.O

Oh wait, true. X.x It might be best to have one a year lol. I hope to play them soon, though. :P

But yeah you're right. I had this happen with Reuben series and XXR. Reuben 1 came out too late for 2004 POTY and Reuben 2 came out only 3 weeks later (although 2 months on ticalc because they had no file archiver). Later during the year XXR got featured (and made Engadget). XXR was the 3rd file with most votes. Had Reuben 1 and 2 not been featured, I wonder if we would have gotten a 3 files tie breaker (with Emu8x and Wizards) O.O . Also if Reuben 1 came out a few weeks earlier it would have competed against 17 other files along with ROL3 and Zelda (although they barely got any votes)

Yeah x.x I imagine it must be pretty tricky to plan logistics against the POTY, the best bet is to just make the best program possible, but even that can be a challenge sometimes :P

EDIT: That comic is the 9th oldest XKCD comics :P

Lol Yunhua98, you had my hopes up the other day on IRC. :P

But yeah, as you could see we post lots of news lately about programs and stuff, but I decided to ditch any possible award system in the future. I may eventually do a page for programs that made front page every month, but no oscar like awards, because in certain circumstances it can hurt people feelings, especially if their program they spend years on loses to one that got a few months of work in and are not finished. People vote for the program they prefer, but there is only one winner. Also it would suck to have like 20-30 programs featured but only 20-40 votes. I honestly feel that getting featured on the front page of a popular site and even in a list of notable programs are just great enough.
