[AntonioR]

How about we just start now and submit in two weeks ?

[QUOTE=AntonioR;44565160]How about we just start now and submit in two weeks ?[/QUOTE]

Didn't we determine that the time frame was a problem in the past few competitions?

[Pappschachtel]

how about everybody starts during those 2 weeks and works for 3 days and submits during those 2 weeks :D ?

[Johnny on Flame]

Rescheduling will be good- I have exams all over the next two weeks, and I'm also juggling another project meanwhile.

[supersnail11]

Alright, this is now official rescheduled two weeks in the future (Saturday May 3rd - Monday May 5th).

[Pappschachtel]

hehe, so i have a bit more time to fix and extend my engine!

[supersnail11]

So, it's now the future. Competition this weekend!

[Jitterz]

So when will the theme be generated?

[Pappschachtel]

dauuuumn... i still need an idea :D

[supersnail11]

The competition has begun!

[⃝⃞⃟]

How many people are competing?

[supersnail11]

[QUOTE=Garb;44708599]How many people are competing?[/QUOTE]

I have no idea. Only four people said they'd do it, but that's before the reschedule so I don't know.

I'm doing it, though.

[Ott]

Oh I'm doing it

[Bambo.]

I'll give it a whirl.

[Ollie]

Do we really have to make our own fonts too?

[AntonioR]

Meanwhile I figured out my game idea sucked, so I am dropping out.

[Jookia]

I think the 'randomly generated' theme is way too vague.

[Pappschachtel]

well thats the good part, it can be anything...

[sambooo]

top down zombie shooter best theme all years
random maze generators are a close second

[QUOTE=ollie;44710799]Do we really have to make our own fonts too?[/QUOTE]

No, unless you want to. You don't have to write your own libraries, either.

[Pappschachtel]

Still raw, but at least i have an idea after day #1 :)

This was 2011, now Java should support it.

"should"

[ArgvCompany]

[QUOTE=johnnyaka;44719545]This was 2011, now Java should support it.[/QUOTE]

AFAIK, it does not.

[JohnnyCrazy]

Welp, okay, my example was too easy, compiler propably coded it out.
Sorry :v:

[DarKSunrise]

java doesn't have operator overloading

[Tamschi]

[QUOTE=johnnyaka;44719897]Welp, okay, my example was too easy, compiler propably coded it out.

It probably didn't (completely), but it's likely it did intern the strings so you didn't have distinct objects.

[supersnail11]

[QUOTE=johnnyaka;44719545]This was 2011, now Java should support it.[/QUOTE]

IIRC

"foo" == "foo"

will equal true, because the compiler doesn't create a new object for two string literals that are exactly the same.
