uhm, okay. Guess that kind of defeats the purpose of a coloring ball, IMHO. 
But guess if that's the rule, I'll read the rules and keep my mouth shut next time.

Uhm, guys, you´re suppose to fill in the shape and not the outside as well.

Personally, and this is just my own preference, is that the AudioCache gets tossed out and just becomes "imported audio".
This means that if you want to edit the audio file you can, you can re-import and/or delete them from the game, without risking messing up the original sound you had.

Which in a way, is how Sprites work, they get imported into the project, you can edit them directly using an external program if you like, or edit the original and re-import them. And you can also delete tehm from the Game without messing your original sprites.

The way it is now, you end up with 3 audio files anyway. The original, the edited one, and the AudioCache (or you can edit the Cache file and hope it doesn't get overwritten by the imported one while building the game...).

Yes, though I think the way it works now is somewhat misleading and requires ppl to know how it works. It's really not clear.
It would be nice to not have things not running "hidden & automaticly" in the BG.

Okay then, I just need to debug the one puzzle our game has, and I can deliver a demo entry.
So I'm taking the "extra day or two" extension. 

Cheers and happy new year.

Edit: Okay, I think I got all done and sorted out. Game is uploaded to Mediafire and screenshot is created... I'm just waiting for my partner in crime to give the "go ahead and post it" msg. As I want to be sure the puzzle now works as it should.  So hopefully it won't be too long before I post it.

EDIT 2:
Here's our entry!

Sandra T. Almeida & Elen Heart present:

A caixa

A box is delivered at the front door. Intrigued by it Roger picks it and decides  to check it.
But when he opens it, he gets more questions than answers!

Can you help Roger get the answers he seeks?



This entry is but a small demo at this moment, but hope it piques your interest anyway.
Only one puzzle to solve. You will get a clear message when you have reached the end of the Demo.
Enjoy!

I've had less time than I had hoped to work on this. 
So right now all I can say is: I'll either deliver a demo (if I can get the 1st puzzle bug free) or will have to pass on having something worth showing tomorrow.

When amplifying the sound, you need to keep in mind that there is a limit, beyond that limit it will start chopping the sound. You can see it in the sound wave, that the top spikes gets chopped.

Wav is uncompressed, and in the past there has been a small bug in it (not sure it has been fixed).

AGS can play OGG, so there is no need for the computer in which the game runs to have any codex installed.

MP3 used to be copyrighted, it no longer is, but you still need an exterior codex installed to play it, as far as I remember.

So, yeah, I would recommend Theora OGG for both audio and video. 

What format are the sound files?

If they're WAV, try to convert them to OGG (Audacity can do it).

I don't think it's possible, but I might be wrong.

Is there a reason you don't want to create an empty/hidden button?

Merry x-mas all!!!! 

Rather have less features and old bugs in than no client at all.

But since Dualnames has been so kind as to offer his help, I think it's best he keeps the code.  I can help gathering and formatting the info, if that helps with the load. 

Just how much programming is involved?

If it's just a matter of adding the nominees and stuff, I could give it a try.

Good solution, that way the player decides which saves to delete. 

1st) Sinitrena
2nd) Creamy
3rd) Stylez

That sounds evil! 
I would be pissed if the game deleted my saves. 

non adventure are welcome as well.

The 2 main restrictions on this competition are: Needs to be made with AGS and fit the theme somehow... 

1st: Rincewind
2nd: arj0n
3rd: SinSin

Spoiler

It's a golden blade with a tree handle, to chop stuff... with a "splash of red" cause it's xmas....  or maybe cause something else...

I'm guessing was is probably the keyword here. 
According to the first google result (infopedia.com), he's 76 billion in front of good old Jeffy....

Still working on this.
