I'd rather do 15-22(or 1-8 or 8-15) myself, for I might not be there the
last week :/
PS: Two 7DRL contests per year sounds good to me :)
PS2: Why "Orange October Minigun" ??

I'm reluctant to vote on 22 - 29 Oct because I'll need time to prepare
for the November NetHack tournament. However, since it's 7DRL, that's
probably the best week for it, so I can just put it away after a week
(plus two days I suppose, to give it a small webpage). So count me in
for 22-29.

1-8 is the best for me, but 8-15 is also ok. Since my brother is
getting married on the 25th, and he lives in a different country
(different continent even...) I will not be able to participate on 22 -
29 Oct, and 15-22 is doable but a bit hard.
Ido.

Too bad I already wrote the Engine (tm), so it won't be as fun for me
(just thinking of new ideas and implementing them... meh!). I am also
going to put out the final (this time for real) version of Rougelike
soon, and that probably says something about my respect for "don't touch

Well, that's not as fun as writing one from scratch ;) Anyway, it still
needs some work to reach industry standards, such as real LOS,
pathfinding and so on. But I have a feeling that implementing A* would
take a whole week by its own seeing as I don't understand that algorithm
at all.

Uh, I'd rather be writting a game than an engine myself :)
I had tons of fun writting the new T-Engine, but my goal from the start
was to use it to make new games not to make new engines :)

Should your vote be counted as 1-8 or as (1-8 or 8-15)?
In the first case we have a tie between 1-8 & 8-15 (both with 5 votes),
in the other 8-15 would lead with 5 votes.

Okay, I think I'm in! I'll vote 8-15 or 15-22. The last week is way
out for me, I'll be getting prepared for NaNoWriMo.
What are the rules/feelings about using pre-existing code for LOS,
dungeon generation and such?

Gamer_2k4
> dungeon generation and such?
I think it should be ok. By forcing someone to make a complete game
within a week, you make them focus on content. If you already know how
to make the engine, why waste time recoding what you've already made?
Gamer_2k4
Ido.Y...@gmail.com
> If you already know how
> to make the engine, why waste time recoding what you've already made?
That's true, although I might consider the dungeon generator as part of
the content in some cases.
Anyway, there is no prize to win in a 7DRL challenge, other then to
know you've made it - so there is little point in arguing what exactly
the rules are, is there?
In my opinion, if you took a previously abandoned/half
finished/unplayable game and completed & published it in 7 days -
you've also won - here's why:
Let's not forget that the point of a 7DRL challenge is to make people
publish _a playable roguelike_ and stop messing around for months/years
with "Generic Engines" and "90% Finished" games. It is not a
competition to see who is the fastest coder.
Ido.

Indeed!
I would add that if somebody do possess a usable engine the more power to them,
the goal is to produce games, not engines :)

My entry into this year's earlier 7drl contest used over 9,000 lines
from my primary project. I seem to remember one person expressing some
disappointment that this was allowed, but the consensus definitely
seems to be that it is acceptable.
I think it is good to declare (and publish) the pre-existing code you
are using (though I have not bothered to maintain the download link for
the "baseline" code I used- does anyone want me to?)
I am responding in this thread, but I will not be taking part in this
challenge. One per year (or perhaps less...) is enough for me.
Best of luck to all those who take part!

You can use whatever you want, including existing engines.
It is however fair to mention any libraries and previously
existig code you used.

Using pre-existing code is encouraged. Especially when it is for
generic engine-type things. It is a good idea to make clear how much
is pre-existing code, however, so you don't create unrealistic
expectations of how much can be made in 7 days.
After all, it's not like we insist you write your own compiler in the
seven days, right?

A couple of procedural notes for the future. First, it is a good idea
to allow (and make clear that you allow) multiple votes for the week.
This allows people who want in (but have no preference) to vote for all
weeks and avoid being artificially forced to pick one week. Second, it
is good to make clear an end time for the voting so you know when to
stop counting. Third, one should specify ahead of time what the tie
breaking method would be.
Finally, I presume the plan is still to allow people to chose anytime
on Saturday or Sunday to start? This would make the dates:
30 Sept - 8 Oct
7 - 15 Oct
14 - 22 Oct
21 - 29 Oct
Good luck to all participants in this challenge! I look forward to
playing the results.

Too bad that I'm so heavenly working on LambdaRogue and therefore don't have
so much time. I'd really like to make a 7DRL based on the hacking engine of
LR, but I fear that some people could find this more fun than LR itself ;)

I have to correct myself; my dictionary says "magic" can be used as
adjective, too (so it's both "magisch" and "Magie" in german); therefore I
re-edited my sig back to it's previous state.

place where nouns are used as adjectives ("magic shop", compare "bait

By contrast, a "magical shop" would imply that the shop itself was in

OK.
If we don't reach a consensus until Sunday (midnight between Sunday &
Monday, GMT) I propose we count fbk for both 1-8 & 8-15, since he wrote
"the earlier the better", not specifically 1-8.
That will give 8-15 the lead.
Is that acceptable by everyone?
Ido.

October, so no chance for me to enter.
(I have decided to start programming after getting burned out of it at
school, and I have decided to learn Python, and making a RL is a good
way to learn a language. But I don't think I can do all the learning
of python in such short notice. My backround is in Java mostly, but I
don't want to relearn a language, rather learn a new one.)

fbk)
[15 - 22 Oct]: 6

That's a common misconception. Honestly, I have no idea where it comes
from?

All of my programming knowledge comes from writing my roguelike. If it
weren't for that, I'd have no reason to constantly research programming
concepts or look at online tutorials. I'd have very little motivation
to learn about programming. I actually started to learn QBasic
programming because I knew I couldn't write a roguelike on my
calculator ;).

Crawl! May have been badly coded in the first place - but its a fun way to
learn as opposed to writing useless program after useless program until
you think you've gone far enough to do something useful. And its far less
overenthusiastic then trying to learn openGL or DirectX from the start to
make a 3D Shooter!

I will officially cast my vote for just Oct 8-15. Canadian
Thanksgiving is in there so I'll have an extra day off work for coding

Ok, so now 8-15 has the lead once again:

First two weeks are no longer valid for me. I will not participate,
sorry.

There are no rules that say you can do it the week after.
Bring it on, I have aleady written my design doc, and am finding it
hard to keep me fingers off the keyboard. Maybe if I write some header
files surely that doesn't count as jumping the gun ...... uurrhhh
muuusst resist tempation to start early....
Michal Bielinski
You are right. No reason to bury enthusiasm and it can still count as
out of challenge 7DRL. But as Kornel said it is not the same. Maybe
last week of Orange Octobe then.

To be fair, it's a better way to learn a language than anything you can't
actually be bothered to do. My limited knowledge of programming has all
come from having an itch I needed to scratch and learning enough of a
language to scratch it.
[Admittedly, in one case, the itch was "need for money".]

Are there any fixed rules on doing things like headers and/or map files
ahead of time? Basically I'm asking where the distinction is drawn
between "design" and "code"...

Personnaly I am randomly thinking ideas and taking notes for it
but no code or data or maps touching before the first day

Well, I think I will at least create the overworld map. That should be
a good compromise.

I'd like to take part. I'll work on my existing roguelike, Paprika:
http://iceyboard.no-ip.org/projects/paprika/
I'll probably be moving house at some point during October, but
hopefully the two events wont clash. Any of the suggested weeks are
fine with me.
Good luck to everyone taking part.

Please, please tell me that with a name like Paprika, your roguelike is
cooking or at least cullinary related.
Iron Chef Roguelike!!!

Ha! Paprika isn't cooking or cullinary related, but maybe it will be in
the future :)
I just chose that name because I love the word "Paprika". I had to use
that to name something, so it was either my roguelike or my future
daughter. I think I chose correctly!

Sorry, even though I voted for this week I can't participate, I've got
to go to a course (my work forces me to do this) which I got to know
today. So I think I will go for 15-22 Oct.
Especially sorry because this vote would have changed the result :(
