| [4e4] #18 TimeBlasters | Would love to hear some feedback, it's my first proper game :) Contests are a great motivator for getting things done. Has anyone managed to finish it on either difficulty levels? Are the use of secondary function powerups confusing?... |

| [4e4] Entry demo | I need some feedback on the difficulty curve and balancing of my entry in singleplayer and if possible multiplayer. It should run on all windows 2000/XP machines but not 98 (I remember reading that the minimum spec machine for judging inclu... |

| increasing playback speed of a stream using fmod | Quick question: How can I make a song play faster when it's loaded as a FSOUND_STREAM? |

| Anyone else entering a 2D game for 4E4? | Since 4e4 is about "bringing back the spirit of gaming" 2D games should have a fair chance with their ease of playability. Anyone else entering a 2D game, and if so what type? |

| Windows GDI vs OpenGL for 2D | Well I've written a 2D bomberman game using the windows GDI BitBlt function and the game runs fine. The lowest I've tested it on is a 700mhz pc with 128mb which gave a playable framerate of 25fps, and a 1ghz centrino laptop and 512mb ram was all... |

| contest questions | Sorry, more questions! Where can I find and download previous entries to the four elements contest, so I can see what kind of standard is expected? I'm making a 2d bomberman clone which includes a zombie level and a robot level, and I know it wo... |

| Adlib: New Webcomic | Thanks! It's just a side hobby at the moment but who knows where it'll lead ;) (probably nowhere) |

| Results posted. | I can't believe everyone's going on about manuals (could we have a more boring topic of discussion? Licensing agreements maybe?) and not the actual games. Judges, can we expect to see some feedback along the lines of the retro remakes compe... |

| Results posted. | I assume TimeBlasters didn't make it very far for having the elements in only two out of five levels, or were there other factors? I thought the robot and ninjas were well implemented, as they weren't simply generic enemies with a robot/nin... |

| Results posted. | That would be great, as things stand if you didn't make it into the top 5 your game might as well not have existed. It was good fun though, thanks for another great competition gamedev! |

| Results posted. | I appreciate the hard work from the judges but I was expecting something more like the retro remakes competition in terms of judging process and feedback: http://www.retroremakes.com/comp2004/results.php 73 entries ranked in order with a table o... |

| Next compo? | The theme should be encapsulated in one word, and have it describe the gameplay not the content. For example, "physics", where the gameplay has to revolve around some physics gimmick. Or "AI" where the gameplay has to revolve around some real cl... |

| [4e4] #18 TimeBlasters | I finally got a chance to test 4 players vs on one keyboard. It was a lot more fun than I thought (after all the playtesting it's hard to enjoy your own game) I would recommend everyone to try it out if they can. Controls are sometimes unre... |

| [4e4] #18 TimeBlasters | That's great if your kids can play it! This game was written for me as a kid spending countless hours playing co-op on an amateur version of Bomberman written in QBasic thinking one day I wanted to make my own version... Paulcoyote, wh... |

| [4e4] #18 TimeBlasters | Yep all the snowballs have to be destroyed, I actually increased the number of them as some people didn't find it challenging enough when they died in one hit! It's all in the powerups ;) |
