Posted May 3, 2010The goal of the contest is to see people making crazy things with the Galaxy Editor. The prizes are negligeable, so if you enter, it is for fun :)
I'm pretty sure people will make the different between great art and awesome technical stuff anyway.

Posted May 2, 2010I'd probably enter if I felt like the winner wasn't going to be instantly given to the guy who adds custom art. Functionality should be put above all else, art has a slight added bonus but nothing much. If some reassurance could be tossed out to make me feel like creating a full fledged clock with in-game art could hold its own against some overly graphical one then I might consider it just for fun.

Posted May 2, 2010You don't have to show up the real time, just show something that looks like time. For example you can at map initialization randomize a number from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59 and increase that counter to one every second (or millisecond) ...
The goal is to find fun ways to display time!

Posted May 2, 2010Id suggest setting the time ingame after the map starts up.

Posted May 2, 2010Should the clock be telling the actual time? Is that possible?
