[Mr. Apol]

Every year there are several Day of Zeux competitions in the Megazeux community. Megazeux, as some of you know, is a text-mode, ANSI graphics game creation system spiritual successor to Tim Sweeney's ZZT.

I've participated in these before, and let me tell you, twenty-four straight hours of game creation can produce some really neat games, or at least some glorious trainwrecks. Each Day of Zeux usually has a nice combination of the two.

The judging results from this summer's competition are as follows:



In 3rd place, #7494: "Immortal Nanomachines", by "diamond <3s club spades" (GreaseMonkey) - 1200/2000



In 2nd place, #22625: "King Yu's Tower", by "';DROP TABLE teams;" (logicow) - 1589/2000



In 1st place, #22677: "immortality", by "Anything is Possible When You Believe" feat "Dragons (Yet again)" (asgromo, Kom) - 1604/2000

Congratulations, asgromo and Kom.

You can download Megazeux from http://www.digitalmzx.net. For those unfamiliar, you download the games and launch them from the Megazeux GUI itself, rather than launch the games as stand-alone applications.

The latest version of Megazeux is 2.83, found on the Megazeux Versions and Forks page of digitalmzx.net.

Go get the games in torrent form ( http://mzx.devzero.co.uk/junk/DOZ2010Q3.torrent ) or by HTML mirror ( http://mzx.devzero.co.uk/DOZ2010Q3/ ).

Hitting this up. I can't resist a game with that sort of deep blue hallway.

Edit: Thanks Apol. Was greatly entertained.
