I've got the entries listed in the first post, now I just need to convince some people to give their opinions on them.

Sorry about the framerate issues with Sktech Lemmings. I did notice some slowdown on my netbook, but only came up with the concept of drawing platforms at the end of last week, so spent all my spare time getting the code implemented and getting a few levels to demonstrate it (after all that work on the level editor, there are only 3 levels in game anyway!)

You should have just said it had 100 levels, since I can't get past level 2 anyway...

Anyone else getting a "file not available" page for Killerapathy's entry? (The awesomely titled: "http://www.megaupload.com/?d=D1KZ2DPB".)

It downloaded fine for me, btw, its titled Crossfire. Its fun, but the "paddles" move slow.

Oh yeah, it loaded ok, just now. Must have inaccessible been due to heavy traffic or something...

Can't run the .exe, though. It's giving me an error, saying re-installing might solve whatever problem it's having. :/
I'm running Windows XP, SP3.

There was nothing to install. I did get an error saying the keyboard couldn't be loaded but the game still worked. Maybe thats why the paddles were sluggish come to think of it.

On Vista, btw.

Ok, I've got one judge signed up and hope to get judges comments on each game by this time next week. I've also got a faster version of Sketch lemmings that I'll put up at some point, so the painting slow-down should be greatly reduced (but other than that functionality is the same).

If you can't get more than two other judges let me know, and I'll do it. I don't have a lot of time, but I want this to be successful and that means we need at least 3 judges :P

How does increasing the number of judges affect the "successful"-ness? :P
As a rule, contests should not have more judges than contestants, except for judging contests. (Do those even exist? "Judging contests"?)

Yea my wording was weird. I just want there to be more than two judges. It allows for a good range of judges and viewpoints.

No Ceasars here! Long live the tribunal!
