[lisp-game-dev] [FLGC09] Review and commentary period

[David O'Toole]

Wow elliott! I got a chance to watch the video, but haven't played yet.
Thanks so much for participating in the contest!!!

Today is New Years Day 2010, the deadline for the FLGC 09 contest! For those
of you who haven't posted your entries, go ahead now (completed or not)!
There's no judging phase, the point is for us to play each other's games,
provide feedback, and of course learn about lisp games. On top of that, I'm
hoping people will use their 7day versions as the basis for something bigger
in the future.... forcing yourself to make something complete in 7 days is a
great way to start!

Ok, here's my suggestion on what do to next. Everyone post the URLs and
instructions to their entries if they haven't yet, and then I'll make a
small webpage with all the entries. please send a screenshot if you can, so
that the page will look nice.
Then we can play the entries and comment on the mailing list. I'll work on
the page today.
