Good Luck.

OMG! I won again! 

I thought Anym's going to win this one. I'm starting the next one as soon as I think of a good theme...
Good luck and - I love all of the entries. Awesome.

[- First. Everyone who participated gets this genuine entskin - ok, maybe it's just wooden - badge! - 3-rd place for Mr_Frisby. His sprite sure has alot of charisma. : - A silver medal for El Drey and his Dork Ork. Awesome work. - And the winner is Mordalles!]

Another good sprite jam, another bunch of awesome entries. And now it's the time to choose a winner.

I must admit choosing a winner was hard. ProgZmax, Buloght, Fruittree, Bernie... everyone made great sprites and the choice was hard. Good luck next time.

Man vs Elements:



My first comic attempt. 

Yeah, can we please see the light? I am curious. Ã, :

What do we get for winning the comp?

A four-headed monkey and a wistle. 

You get to host the next one... Don't get greedy.

I feel no need to agrue... It seems I may have been wrong in my previous post.

I doubt anyone arond here knows enough about uranium, fuel rods and stuff like that. I don't think a solution that simple exists. Let the smart people think of something, they know more.Ã, 

Oh, Tuomas...Ã,  :
Radioactive water can't? Really? Sure it can and it does. Allmost everything gets radioactive.

Google is your friend, and so is Wikipedia. 

[but]

I didn't want to say this, but this is how fuel rods are used in the big shiny power plant:



So this is how it works anyway. Someone was sleeping in science class.Ã,  :

Here is some basic info about fuel rods I "googled" for:


Nuclear fuel rods explained
A nuclear fuel rod is used as the source of nuclear energy in a reactor. Most nuclear reactors are powered by fuel rods that contain two types of uranium: uranium-238 and uranium-235.
In power reactors, the fuel rods contain around 2-3% uranium-235.

Fission
As fuel is burned in the reactor, uranium is fissioned as part of a controlled chain reaction. Fissioning involves splitting the nuclei (the centre) of uranium atoms. This releases atomic particles called neutrons which split as they collide with other atoms, creating more neutrons. Other radioactive elements called fission products and plutonium are created in this process.

Spent nuclear fuel
Fission product and plutonium, which build up in fuel rods, make the fuel less and less effective. As a result, the fuel is withdrawn from the reactor after a time and is said to be "spent fuel". Spent fuel rods are extremely hot and highly radioactive as a result of the new radioactive elements created by the fissioning process.


I think that explains why people don't use them. they get too radioactive.

next: a secret agent gets in real trouble somewhere inside the Blue Cup Vulcano...

Good idea, but the perspectibe is tottaly wrong. 

BSPlayer also comes with a screencap tool. both for original resolution and a "what you see" option. and they're automatically saved to a set folder.

And if your "print screen" button (for some reasone) doesn't work you can use "P". Cool, isn't it...Ã, 
Anyway I love BSPlayer

Oh,Ã,  does anyone have an idea what the "scroll lock" button does?

I did a paint over... It seems your shades are too close and too dark so the image seems dark and that doesn't look that good. Here is how a sprite looks with only 3 shades of each color (not counting the black). The contrast between the colors is pretty good. So don't be afraid to use lighter tones. And use gray or some neutral colour when you draw your sprites. That really helps.

Ã, 

Just draw some orks orcs.

[ORCS!]

And the Topic is: ORCS!

Restrictions:
Max Size:150x150
Max Colors: 32
Must be an original character.
Must be drawn by you.
Must be an ork.

Cheaters will be shot on sight.


And the cool part:Ã,  You can have 2 entries and they will both count!

Trophies? Maybe yes, maybe not. I don't know yet.

Edit: I decided to change my entry:

Edit: OH NO! Not again:



Beware the space monkey holo-poster!!!

And yet another edit: This background was made entirely on MSPaint. No other software was used, no layers were involved and no tracing was even mentioned.

First of all I wish Stefano good luck and I hope things will turn out good for him Ã, and his personal matters.

Secondly. I WON? I didn't espect that to happen with such great entries around. I'm going to start the next sprite jam in less then 15 minutes.

Third... Who cares about the trophy anyway? I might make one for me but it's all about the sprites.

And lastly... With such great entries every contestent (exept you Anghellic) gets a brand new FREE marsian.... Ã, microwave oven!!!
