We have our scorecards, beers and boxing gloves prepared for our weekend judging - should be fun.

 

Quick question to those interested  - would you like to see the scorecards for our own entries (Bruce Leroy and Moonrunners) as well as your own and the other competitors? Just curious. Obviously Cypermethrin and I are exempt from winning - just wondering if it would be interesting to you guys? Let us know what you think.

Yeah, I would like to see that.

Ok guys - I promised I'd share my first scripting attempt.... please don't laugh. 

As I said - there will be better ways of doing this and I actually want to get feedback on what I've done so I can learn from it and hopefully some others can too. It's also fully commented so others can view it and get an idea on how it all works.

Below is the code I used for the Moonrunners menu.

// GLOBAL=====================

//===============ALL DONE================

Nice one psikoT - thanks for the advice. All taken on board. 

The winner is RocketRumble, with no doubt...

Ayup guys and gals - winner announcement day is upon us. Everyone excited? 

The winner will be announced at roughly 12.30pm GMT - along with scorecards and small feedback for each project.

@Mike - the six projects included in the challenge were Moonrunners, Bruce leroy, LePrix, 70's Night Spinner, Rocket Rumble, and Dash & Dodge.

Of these - there are only 3 competing for the prize: 70's Night Spinner, Rocket Rumble, and Dash & Dodge.

We had a great time judging all the games though (even our own) and spent a lot longer over our decisions than we first thought. It was great.

The scorecard consists of:

70's Theme,
Graphics,
Sound,
% of completed product,
Originality,
and then Gameply - but broken down into 3 sections; Fun, Addictiveness, and Replayability.

There were a total of 50 points available.

We've stuck to two comments for each section - one positive and one negative - we have much more feedback on each game that can be posted if the creator feels it would help them.

See you at 12:30. 

And the winner is.... Yeah right - like I'd just go into it like that. 

Below is the scorecard and some selected comments for each title - from least points to most... The first number is the points scored and the 2nd is the maximum for that category.

==============================

Well done to all that took part - it's been a great challenge.

Cypermethrin wanted me to add - please direct all complaints with our decision to [email protected] 

Well there's the scores 

But in my book you're all winners 

Some major works came out of this challenge and you can all be proud of what you did, we had a lot of fun playing them and working out how to score them 

I hope they all get finished off properly and people give them the feedback they deserve.

See you all in the next Rotary Gaming Challenge !!!
