Dear participants of the AM contest,
We are having an exceptional situation due to our 4th contestant experiencing technical difficulties. For the jury, this means to take a decision how to proceed with the contest.
We would like to give the chance to Von Knudenberg to overcome those problems, and enter his game into the contest, because he's been working hard on it in the past months, and his game is almost done.
Therefore another extension of a day will be granted. However, we feel that in this case, the other contestants should be allowed to submit a fixed/enhanced version of their game, too, even at the risk that not all participants will notice this message in time
Therefore all contestants can provide us a new version of their games within 24 hours from now on. We hope that the participants who have submitted their games before the deadline have understanding for this exceptional situation
On a general note, there are certain points concerning future AM contests that I'm planning to open for discussion within the community after the current contest has finished:
1)I have received some requests/ideas for the judgment criteria of submitted games. This led me to the idea that it might be interesting to discuss on what criteria games should be evaluated in future.
2) It might be also a good idea to discuss how deadlines and extensions of deadlines should be handled in future, so that we have some guidelines which we have agreed upon.
After the announcement of the winners of the current contest, I'm going to create a new topic in the forums on these 2 questions.
