Game -> 1753 LOC
Basecode -> 2398 LOC (not counting GLee + image loaders which is another 22kLOC)

I would saw most of that basecode got used in the entry. Pretty high coverage, though I didn’t measure it. Did a bit of work on the basecode during the compo, so the total written is probably around 2kLOC.

That’s pretty typical for me. I usually write about 1-2kLOC for a contest.

Game -> 2951 lines
Framework -> 14638 lines

Framework is kind of “bloated” code for this game, since it includes lots of 3d stuff (particle system, mesh managment, 3ds file loader, etc, etc), and includes stuff like D3D initialization ripped from the DirectX tutorials, etc…

Anyway, surprised the game code had almost 3K lines…

Language: C
LOC: 1079 [game] + 2015 [framework]

And you?

Still, if done my hand, carefully, a source code line count might be fairly representative I think.

Later on, I want to try to do a report to show the stats on languages and frameworks used, etc. I think that would be interested to many people.

We have revised, clear rules now and an alternative for those who just want to have fun, so I think it’s safe to be a tad more formal about the sticking to the rules as well.

Not meant as a bad thing actually. For example, I love to play basketball on an open court with friends, but nothing compares to participating in a game that is being reffed. That is the real thing!

So don’t go being a ref hater

For some, fun means having a good excuse to do some casual game dev in good company. For others (myself included), fun means all that *and* a little serious competition. As I see it it’s the disparity between these two groups of people that lead to the (well chosen) competition/jam split; those that want to compete can compete, those that just want to jam out can do that, and everyone in-between can do whatever feels right at the time.

Or framing my argument in a different way, if we don’t care about the rules at all why even have them?

This is all pretty academic though. It was the tone not the argument in allen’s comment that rubbed me up the wrong way. “A little weird and over-zealous” isn’t a particularly nice way to talk about someone, especially someone who is trying to help.

Anyway I’ll leave it there, I don’t want to end up like http://xkcd.com/386/

The actual voting, you might have noticed, isn’t all that important to the compo. It’s just a way to guide people into playing games.

Could someone please test if you can access my source code now?

It’s a valuable service, thanks for taking the time (I certainly wouldn’t have had the patience for it)>
