Competition ResultsNow that the CodeCraft#2 voting period is over it's time to announce
the winners of the three categories. First though, some statistics
of the competition for all you stats freaks out there :)
The standard of quality of the entries is very high and they're all well
worth the download if you haven't already got
them. You can then see for yourself the rich diversity in entries, each
of them different and attractive in its own way. The fact that they're
all gems in their own right was also demonstrated by the fact that not
one vote was the same, showing how hard it was for people to choose a
1st, 2nd and 3rd place for each category. "What's that you say, I should stop my jappin' and get on with it?
Right, OK."
1K Game and demo
Followed by NZCVDemo (9); Beta-Balls (8); SIC (7); AF8/AF16 and CCountDown (5); footsteps, GreyStroke and trippin’1k (3); Australia and MrStikman (2); FlourPower, In Love With Maria, M, MARIA, MarsFace, Scrolly and WetPaint1K (1). After only a couple of votes Springs1K had managed to grab hold of
second place. Even though the threat of NZCVDemo and Beta-Balls was
great it always managed to keep right ahead of them. These two were
constantly battling it out for second and third place and it was only
after 50% of the votes had come in that PolymHair started climbing up.
After 75% of the votes were in though it had climbed up to third place,
a place which it wouldn't give up. However, even from the very start,
with 6 out of the first 7 votes putting it in 1st place,
HappyRGB by Pervect lead the 1K category with a
comfortable lead throughout the voting period. 2K Tool
Followed by MouseLess (11); Direr, MakeMode and RottWeiler (6); RAMFScache (5); rex (4); SWIcache (3); SamePlace (1). Very early on 4 entries distanced themselves from all others:
CodePressor, ScreenGrab, NeVirus and MouseLess, with CodePressor and
ScreenGrab further distancing themselves from NeVirus and MouseLess.
The latter two fighting it out for 3rd and 4th place, with NeVirus
slowly gaining an advantage over MouseLess after some 50% of the votes
were in. It was also from that point on that ScreenGrab couldn't keep
up with CodePressor by Pervect and Tony anymore which
just seemed to increase its lead with almost every new vote coming
in. 8K Game and demo
Followed by technique (23); smire (3). Nebenwelt, technique and Worship really had a hard time fighting each
other all throughout the voting period. It really was a constant battle
and their positions often switched with every new vote. If we had two
more votes their positions would probably have been different from
this final result again. The funny thing is that Flu by Tony
and baah at first held 4th position, seemingly having a hard time
with Nebenwelt, technique and Worship, but after some 30% of the votes
had come in it suddenly climbed up to finally take first place and
distancing itself from the rest with almost every new vote. CodeCraftsMen
Thank you all for taking part in CodeCraft#2, producing all those great
entries and showing us all the power of small sized programming. Many a
thanks as well for your understanding and support through the rough
times we had with the rules, especially when we combined the 4K and 64K
into the 8K category. Big thanks as well to all non-contestants who downloaded the entries
and voted for their favourites. Last but certainly not least, a very big thank you to our three prize
sponsors: Abacus Training, The RISC OS Charity Projects and VOTI and of
course to all the media sponsors for spreading the word!
