Many game compos get around the pain of judging games by letting the ones with the most interest in the results (the contestants) do the judging.
The downside is that games that are difficult to build/run will not get a fair assessment. Maybe that could spur everyone to make their games easier to run.
Thanks for that tip, Jehn. By the way if you are using Chrome you will have to refresh (F5) after resizing the window or the GUI will get messed up. You lose all progress when you refresh, sorry.
Maybe in the future prize money should only be for the artwork portion of the contest. That is what this site is about, right?
I think most programmers would still show up to compete using the great artwork created even if no prize money was offered. I know I would.
It would be a shame if this was the last LPC due to the problems with awarding cash prizes to the game entries.

Again, sorry about this oversight. Just out of curiousity, what keyboard layout are you non-qwerty folks using?
There does not appear to be a way to detect the layout in Javascript. see:

So for now, arrow keys as a backup are probably necessary.
Sorry about that. To be honest I didn't even think of it. I will definitely remember that it is a bigger world next time.
Thanks for trying it. :-)
Yes thanks, Nushio! You did a great job.
@krooked590: You mean what tool? I used Tiled (www.mapeditor.org)
@harryp22: ummm... what?
Here is a link to my HTML5 entry, Sorcerer's Garden.

As submitted for now. May make some improvements/fixes in the future.

Thanks for the feedback! :-)
Really? I have died hundreds of times without that happening. What browser and OS?
