Lounge<C++>

On the 6th of February 2014, a great competition took place in The Lounge: the 1st Great Lounge Game Jam.

Participants flocked in from all over the world, seeking fame and glory.

Rules

We had very few rules. Two hours to write the code, from 21:30 to 23:30 GMT. Stick to the command-line. Pick two out of these themes: hack-me, time travel, randomness.

We didn’t pick a winner. It was fun.

Special Awards

Award	Game	Reason
Most content	suckage	With a minimal engine and lots and lots of strings, this was certainly the most content heavy entry.
Most players	SeriousJam	Two is more than one! SeriousJam stood out as the only multiplayer entry.
Most artistic	Arbol	It’s just art, nothing else; how could it not be the most artistic?
Worst code fuckup	Dagon	Using exceptions to control flow but not bothering to catch them deserves a special mention.
Best README	Shit	“AppWizard has created this Shit application for you.”
