What's so "lol" with that? O_o
Nada.
I was just wondering because I did game design for my senior project, but we were supposed to do something we didn't have any experience in so I got a lower grade - which is bullshit.

No, that'd be stupid. Your senior project was stupid.
I chose to make a game because the teacher said there's no way any of us are capable of processing the logic required to do it
I started porting hatman but I didn't want to bother with making collision arrays and by the time I actually DID scrolling broke.
Don't pull it! Keep on going, although these look good graphics aren't the be all and end all. Good coding techniques, originality, Christmassiness, also all factor in.
Hey circy. When you say the games are rated on coding, is it based on not having bugs, or also readability?
I'm a paranoid retard so I'm a bit weird about submitting open-source mfas (like it matters, right?). I only get to work on the game on non-busy work days due to lack of computer at home etc atm so my coding isn't as efficient as it should be, but the bugs aren't there .

Who says platformers always get the glory? From what I can tell, your simulation game is turning out to be pretty impressive. Ultimately it's up to you, but I think the competition could benefit from having lots of different genres in it.
Anyway, Gamester's comment reminds me of something I forgot to ask. Will the games be rated on how organized the source code is? I really hope not, because the end product won't be open sourced unless the creator wants it to, so rating code organization wouldn't make sense.
Also, how many people will be checking over the source code? Just the judges?
well heres what i got so far ( a bit more than shown just some quick videos) but with 20 days left Im not sure Ill get this away in time but still its fun to make it. making sprites and so forth, got the whole engine complete with no bugs as far as I know . so a matter of level designing , and different tasks to do each time, more locations.
Youll get to know every single one of your 200 little helpers by name, useful mischievous chaps, u try being santa see if u can do a better job at making sure christmas runs smoothly for everyone.
round up the elfs, stuff them stockings , load up sleighs collect the bonuses. harness the candy power , master time and space, fly your sleigh visit the whole world. feed the strays keep the children happy, try to remain out of sight It'll save time, anyway like I said a lot to do.
