I have a broken wrist, so it depends on how well it heals! But I'll definitely try for it if I feel up to it  Nothing like a healthy competition. |

You know I want to. It's always an issue of time, though. |

Yeah, you bet! Retro Remakes ends on Dec 6th, though, so I'll be busy until the 7th.

A very long time ago (a few years actually) I just about submitted Poker4K, as it wasn't quite playable, really. So, long time no siege with you guys. I'm ready for some competition! Gotta fire up my creative neuron  |

My goal for the last couple of competitions was to make a fast raytraced game to fit in 4k... I have not yet been successful... perhaps from the ashes of my last attempts I can make one this year I have a few new ideas which may help me achieve the speed necessary (my PC is quite old now athlon XP2800) and to be able to fit a game in the remaining bytes  |

Markus: I hate you! I'd already gotten started on working with ideas for "Left 4 Kay".
On a side note, I'm working on a 4k version of mine and Laundon's Polybombs project, but I've not gotten very far - I might not finish it. It's a gravity battler with destructible terrain - think liero.

Really? Because I'm working on a poker game as well... still don't know if it'll fit into 4k, but I'm debugging now. So yeah, if it fits into 4K, it will definitely be submitted. And if I can think of anything else to implement (and if I can get it done), I'll submit those too. |

Definitely much better graphics than mine will have, but there's sufficient difference no one could mistake the two. |

PS are there resources linking to the best ways to compress your game?

I have never participated, and am not sure if I will (as im borderline of being skilled enough to compete) but some people say they have their entry ready, I dont understand how that works, if the competition spans from dec to jan, does your game have to be made from there? (im sure its in the rules somewhere) but what stops someone from working on a game for an entire year and blowing the competition out of the water? (besides time, and caring enough to do that  ) |

I assume you are suggesting a clone of the 2D portals flash game? as I think fitting a full 3d shooter + portal support is asking abit much of 4kb  Though I suppose portal support in a ray caster might actually be quite easy.... |

Yes I was thinking about the 2D flash game. Should be doable in 4k.

Someone linked to the 4K help site that gives you suggestions on how to start. |

I have thought about doing a portal clone for 4k... however it will be very difficult to get level designs and the game engine in under 4k. |

Thanks Moogie! I just used your tool and it saved me 190 bytes over just using kzip and proguard! Brilliant! (...and I thought I'd finished! ) |

I'm not sure to join yet, but this contest is addictive... So may be if I have enough spare time I'll try and propose a kind of old style vertical SMUP Lilian |

A 2D Portal-like game was one of my ideas, if no one else tries it, I might. |
