Mini Challenge

Since NeHe hasn''t posted for a while (understandably) I thought I''d try and do something to liven things up a bit by running a mini-competition. My proposal is this: I will write a game skeleton for a simple type of game, with everything working except the rendering. Anyone wishing to enter will then have a short period of time (max. one week, probably a few days) to implement the rendering side of the game in any way they want. At the end I will determine the best looking version and declare the winner. There will be no prize (except bragging rights). Obviously there''s no point in running this if nobody is interested, so if you think you''d like to try this then please post a reply below. If there is enough interest the competition will probably begin either later today or tomorrow. Please also suggest how long you think the competition should run for. Enigma

I think it was a good contest, but due to my complete lack of knowledge of C++ (I moved from 9yrs+ Pascal/Delphi to C++ two days ago) I just couldn''t figure out what the hell all the errors where, suffice to say that were all very simple things probably.

Anyway, I hope you do another mini-competition sometime, and I hope that I know enough C++ to enter it

Yeah, I'm on 2K and it hangs here too

Oh and you've left left in the debug and relase .exe's; I'm on dial-up here, so every byte counts

Yep, it hangs

. Looking forward to seeing it when you get it fixed though - that screenshot looks really good.

Thanks for all the feedback people, some really good comments there.

Yay - great fun. Extremely difficult to play though! Great work llvllatrix. I hereby present you with bragging rights for the February 2004 Breakout Mini Challenge! Do you mind if I host a copy of your demo so people can download it? (I''ll put together a clean zip tomorrow and upload it if you give the OK).
