I entered something too. Not saying. Wait just 12 hours.

Clockwork Towers has been sent in, good luck everyone!

Yes, yours was actually the 2nd map I received this time.

Update on the maps:

Singleplayer: 5
Match: 3
CTF: 3
Race: 2

7 hours remaining.

[MellowJacket]

Just to clarify, in case I've made a mistake, has my Single Player map been accepted?

Edit: Hahaha, whoops. Disregard this, I didn't realize you were updating the contest preview topic as you clarified the maps.

[FuriousFox]

Every map listed in the preview topic has been received and accepted (except for Bolt Gardens, which I haven't received yet due to a bad upload). I have tested all of these maps to make sure they are relatively bug-free. There's still a few problems with some maps like improper thing placement, but at least there shouldn't be any crashes or unplayable maps. They all appear to at least be deserving of a 2/10.

[A Cat]

I fixed Bolt Gardens. Sorry bout that.

[Fawfulfan]

Wow...it looks as though this is a pretty small contest. It's disappointing that there aren't more maps, but on the bright side, this also means that we can play them at a more leisurely pace and will be more likely to give thoughtful reviews.

Well, most schools are going through finals right now, so I imagine many people don't have as much free time as usual. Summer is coming soon, though, so we'll probably start seeing more activity within the coming months.

[Fawfulfan]

Oh, yeah, I didn't think of that, because I always get my projects done really quickly (my school has final projects instead of final exams).

[A Cat]

My school has a year round project where you write a long report then make a big poster on it (4 feet high) and then you go look at the schools projects. This replaces 4 exams.

[Fawfulfan]

My English teacher gave us a year-round project which I just turned in.

Now I'm done with mine! Can the wads be posted earlier by anychance? I'm anxious. Do we get 2.0.5 early if we win?

Doubt it, there could still be last minute entries so be patient.

[A Cat]

Better not be race because I'm gonna win!

Flash Lesson: 36 tics is about a second.

This means win 36 contests to get it a sec early!

36 contests = 6 years! (If I did my math right :/)

Hopeful it will be out before then. ^_~

You seem mighty confident.

I would hazard a guess at ABSOLUTELY NOT.

[FuriousFox]

We still have entries coming in. Heck, I just got another CTF level a few minutes ago.

No, it's 35 tics, IIRC.

[Fawfulfan]

Monster Iestyn's right...35 tics. I remember because I know that 70 tics is 2 seconds (from a tutorial on the Wiki).
