Pishtaco, good things you raise.
It has already started I guess (I'll only be working on it that weekend, though). It's informal (and unofficial), so I guess you can post about progress on this thread or on the art/design/feedback thread rather than on the compos board. I guess there'll be a poll tossed somewhere after the due date.

Too bad it's unofficial  . It's a great compo idea (I'm thinking about taking a part in fact), it forces you to think of games in new ways. And it's not like there's some other super awesome competition idea, that couldn't be moved to after the Valentine's day. |

This was one of the ideas I really liked from the ideas thread - as an official compo I think it would have produced a lot of original games, seeing that it's such a rarely explored concept.
If inspiration (or any idea, even...) strikes, I'll see about hacking something together.
(It amuses me though, that it basically means spending Valentine's Day desperately coding to get the game in on time :p )

Looks like the TIGsource compos are going the way of the roman empire aren't they?

Thernz made a neat love letter type game once  I think you went and got a bunch of different items like chocolates and flowers and gave them to a girl who rejected everything, then IIRC you punch her or something then on the next screen there's some weird boss fight or something  |

AT this point I don't care what is chosen for the compo, I just want to see one started.

  Nothing says love like a generic platformer! I forgot that I've never made a platformer before, so my "quickly knocking up an engine" took a little longer than I expected. Still need to add: A cat A gimmick |

Alternative host: http://studioeres.nfshost.com/Valentine.htmlthe idea is that there are two clumps/clouds (not always 2, it varies, but usually 2) and they wander around and sometimes they meet. they don't always meet, sometimes they just wander around not meeting for what seems like forever. sometimes they meet quickly. reload to see alternative destinies. |

Paul, there's a really nice aesthetic there. They look really like cotton-ball imitation clouds to me. Will be interesting to see where you take it |

@ Paul
Nice App, but there seems to be something wrong with your bounce function. Like the X and Y variables are getting swapped as opposed to multiplied by -1. If you want to make this interactive perhaps you could have the puff balls move away from the mouse, thus allowing you to cut up big clumps and watch them recombine.

I think the way the bounce works is normal, it's just a consequence of particles bouncing which also have individual momentum, so it seems as if the clusters wander around the sides of the screen clockwise or counterclockwise. If you look at individual particles you'll see that they do bounce normally individually, it's just that collectively it works differently due to how they stick to each other. Also, if it did not have that behavior, it wouldn't be very thematic, since it'd be much easier for all the particles to join together if they couldn't chase each other around clockwise or counterclockwise like that. But good idea on the mouse interaction, I'll try out a few things.
