[Comp01] Go Get Them Games
Stephen Granade
have 52 entries this year, one less than the record-setting number
from last year.
The Textfire page is moving, so for now use one of the following
web addresses:
http://www.plover.net/~textfire/comp01
http://www.ifcomp.org
http://www.ifcompetition.org
You can get the games from the FTP version of IFArchive. It'll appear
on the web version in a while. For now, the following sites are
online:
ftp://ftp.ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/competition2001
http://www.wurb.com/if/competition2001/
ftp://baf.wurb.com/pub/competition2001/
Enjoy.
Stephen

Stephen Granade
The timing is unfortunate, but completely unrelated to About.com
removing my site. Ivan Cockrum had been paying to host Textfire for a
number of years now, but found he couldn't any more. David Cornelson
has kindly agreed to let the old Textfire pages be hosted on one of
his machines. We're hoping that in a week or three we can have the
Textfire and ifcompetition.org domains pointed at the new pages.

Now also:
http://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXgamesXcompetition2001.html
http://mirror.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXgamesXcompetition2001.html
I strongly suspect the "mirror" machine will be faster.

Hope fully Stephen's ( former) page at about.com will be placed on a new
server as well.

I feel the same.
But I have a sneaking suspicion he's not around anymore because...
... he grew up.

Then I hope it's a long time before I do the same. :)

Nope. I'm here. My old e-mail address finally evaporated, my legion
of fans are probably bored of the same songs at mp3.com/bratwurst and
I've generally been busy with school and work (I'm a pharmacy
technician. They let me count drugs.) I'm actually in a game design
tutorial at school right now, those who doubt can look here
http://nmc.bennington.edu/faculty/rpuentedura/tutorials/gameprog/index.html
We're into narrative form now and everyone hates me cause I'm making
them read Crimes Against Mimesisisisisis and making them play Shade.
There about 8-10 students in the class and we all have to make a short
game, so yes, Virginia, a new Rybread game soon. Perhaps a little bit
more thought, maybe not, I only have a week. And hopefully with all
the competition games, no one will even notice.
However, my past work is indeed biting me in the rear, as my teacher
has found my past 'work' and made it public knowledge.
Even more disturbing:
