ATTENTION : Not working entries for Stage 2

**Sascha Willems** · 04-03-2007, 01:47 PM

I just have finished scoring stage 2 and except for two entries all were working on my system. I dunno how I should handle those two entries and I don't like the idea of just giving them zero points, so I hope Will and Dom don't disagree with my idea of telling those people and giving them the possibility to fix them till this evening (I'd say till 24:00 GMT+1, as that's my time zone).

Grudzio :
I get a message that says it can't find the entry point for the function "SDL_GetKeyRepeat" in SDL.dll. Therefore the game wont start.

Infinite-Space :
The same problem that I mentioned on the forums lately. I still get the "This application has encountered a problem.." dialog when I want to start the shoot'em'up.

Note : any new submission by entrants will be tagged as submissions for the next stage. And will require manual intervention ( ie WILL or I messing around with the back-end ) to for it to be available for this stage.

I feel a little impatient, expecting the results. I don't want to hurry you, but when will the scores be published?

**WILL** · 04-03-2007, 07:45 PM

Well imo this falls to stability. All teams should have done extensive testing in 'out of the development environment' runs prior to the deadline. Everyone had a whole month and knew that this was the deadline coming up so...

It's hardline, but it's the way I ran it last year. And I feel that doing it any other way this year would only work to cheapen the concept of the deadline system in place. :?

OK, WILL I'll stick to your and Doms sayings since you made the contest rules. So I'll judge those two right now, at least they'll get scores for the readmes.

**Sascha Willems** · 04-03-2007, 08:14 PM

OK, so I judged the outstanding entries and therefore my judging for stage 2 is finished.

................. which is more than FAST!!

**3_of_8** · 04-03-2007, 09:25 PM

Indeed.

I suppose I will be able to see my score when all judges have finished?

**AthenaOfDelphi** · 04-03-2007, 09:27 PM

I've also finished my judging for Stage 2.

Like Sascha, I experienced problems with Grudzio's entry refusing to run, but I had more success with InfiniteSpaceOnline's entry.

I can't replicate that on any of the machines I have here (I have 3) I even tried to setup the decimal sepeartor differently (changed to a , from a .) and the new version still worked...

Never mind, as we say @ work, if you can't replicate it .. you can't fix it... :cry:

Thanks for trying though.
