I disagree on this. It may look prettier right now, but that's only
because the participation base is too small at the moment. I think the
endurance and creative competitions can be separate, two independant
parts of what we're trying to achieve with this mailing list. They could
have different lengths, which would help a lot in the coding portion.
They could be held every x months (maybe annual for the endurance, and
semi-annual for the coding, length = 2 or 3 months - I dunno, just
throwing up some numbers in the air).
I was also thinking of running a minichallenge on the week between
christmas and new years, in an effort to promote the main challenge
in July.
I like the idea.
Yes, there are only six people who bothered to fill in the entry
forms. There are, however, 20 people subscribed to this list. If
those other 16 people feel like commenting on why they didn't bother
entering, please bring your issues forward so that it can be improved
next year.
That definitely came as a surprise to me. I thought I'd be running up
against masters of coding. I guess the publicity didn't work as much as
we thought it would, in other forums. Was C64 Lemon contacted with this?
I know that this particular community is VERY active in coding new games
and they often enter similar contests.
