Three Is A Crowd Comp.

Hey everyone, seeing as how well QOG's contest went, I thought it'd be fun to try hosting one... one a bit different.

The point of this competition is to make a game using only 3 objects. So choose your coding wisely. I'll be judging based simply on how fun the game is. May the best game win (well, it will I guess anyway).

Start Date: Now

End Date: July 31 11:59pm local time ( that is, your time ).

The winner recieves:

An entry in my blog (read even less than QOG's), ***BLOG LINK***

A feeling of satisfaction and happiness for 1 to 3 days,

A picture of a trophy (I'm still drawing it, hold on!).

Happy developing!

EDIT: Here's the trophy (will come with an email of authentification ).

This sounds like a fun short comp! Hmmm... Now I need to think about what three objects I want.

I have a fantastic idea for this, but, it's more suited to a very fast contest, so I'll have to leave it out.

If I get any more ideas, you may see an entry from me. :)

Define fast I suppose, You have until July 31, that's only... <looks at calender> 1 about week.

Just out of curiousity, how would you know if they used three objects or not? Will you need the source code?

QOGs Madness contest was two hours, which for me was fast, very fast.

Too much time and I will slack off until the last minute, and will hand in a game that is expected to be awesome because it is meant to take the whole time frame.

Not that you wouldn't expect my games to be awesome anyway ;)

:D

Edit:

I think that I will enter this contest with completely new material made within this week! :D

@ Ashley: Oh, I get it. That's ok.

@ Legendary Creations: I suppose it would be a trust system. If you're not trusted, don't join. If I'm flabbergasted at the game and can't believe you did it in 3 objects, I have the right to see your source code, though .

PJG, is there any chance of linking to your blog in your main post?
...Or should I just assume that it's at playjamesgames.com? :P

EDIT: I've found it at http://playjamesgames.blogspot.com/, perhaps you could change the background and font as I find it hard to read.

Oh, I see, sorry about the background, I'll tinker with it. Actually I prefer people to read my blog from here:

http://www.playjamesgames.com/blog.html

I'll also put this link in the main post.

PS: Any graphics, sprites, or whatever you call them, don't count as objects... in case anyone was wondering. Only things with functions to them.

Sounds interesting. I may create an entry, though I'm quite busy currently.

Can I use less than 3 objects?

Your page is alot better now, easier to read. What are the chances of using a font that isn't retro on the blog though? Even if I don't enter your competition you'll have a more user-friendly website. :D

I have chosen my 3 objects! :P 

objCouple ( I may be taking the theme a little further than most)

objControl (For the tutorial, spawning of enemies, and what not)

objEnemy (So its not boring xD)

I'm mostly done, despite having my copy of GM randomly revert to lite mode.

Great to see everyone coming along. I'm almost done a game too (don't worry, I won't judge myself the winner... unless the majority thinks so). I thought it'd be good to make one too... in the spirit of game developing...

Anyway, @ LC: Yes you can use less than 3... if you want.

PS: I'll be judging, but I'd like to here people's thoughts on who should win when the deadline passes (critiques please).
