I know(btw eastern = GMT-5, cental = -6), but why does the server time for me read central time not eastern, but he said eastern time by the gdnet server clocks.

[Mezz]

The time on forum posts reads what it is where it thinks you are located, I'm guessing, since mine is reading ~5pm and that's the time here.

Regardless of whether or not it's the same as the GDNet clocks, the contest is at 3:00PM.

And is capn_midnight planning on releasing the topic soon or what?

So it starts at two for us then? Heh, good to know

Where are you located?

It starts at 2 here.

Also, SDL is acceptable, what about sdl_ttf(true type fonts) and sdl_image(other image types besides bmp)?

I know, I messed up my math :p (3-1 = ZERO!)

And if sdl_ttf is allowed, can I use my font class? I know that capn said only an input manager, rendering frame, and sound manager were allowed...but...font classes don't really affect gameplay. I'll post the code so other people can use it too (assuming it's allowed).

"Color" is just a struct with four floats, r, g, b, and a. It's the only thing defined in "util_classes.h"

That code is not allowed, it had to be approved by capn_midnight before mindnight EST last night.

EST 2 nights ago.

I can still....retype it into my project though, can't I? Otherwise I won't have any way to put text on the screen.

[capn_midnight]

People, eastern time is GMT - 4 right now because of daylight savings. The GDNet server clock properly registers EST.

We still don't even know if SDL_TTF/Image are allowed.

[Endurion]

Tell me i am right and it's half an hour until start? :D

Or is there this dang summer time crap? :(

Well at least we can use them.

yes, you can retype it into the project, though I will have no way of knowing if you copy and paste, just be on your honor.

We're currently on irc.afternet.org in #gamedev

[Tsixm]

One hour till it begins. We should have a thread for submissions ONLY.

Do we have to include the source code or only the executable ?

you don't have to include source code. The executable is required, and it should run out-of-the-box (OR ELSE!!!). Since the submissions will be available after the contest, the source code is encouraged.

With the recent GTA scandal (of course, when is there NOT a scandal over some game) we all know that video games influence children (and parents have no control over their children). In this light, the theme is Fire. Gameplay should involve fire in some way, so as to turn all the good children of the world into raving, lunatic pyromaniacs.

Interpret "fire" in anyway you wish.

Completely "unrelated" ;)... Donald Trump is a cool dude.
