This was the first game entered when the Classic vs Feestyle selection was broken. It has now been fixed and @fos1 asked the author to add the selection two months ago, but he/she hasn’t responded. It should be in Classic.

Hey, @fos1. Do you think you could disqualify the four missing entries so that the numbers tally up? We’re still seeing 21 entries, but there’s only 17 games. The four missing games can be seen in Screenshots or Submission feed and they are definitely not parser-based interactive fiction.

Done. Now my eyes are crossed. :wink:

I will take care of this today. We live in the Houston, TX area and have been out of power, internet and phone service since Beryl hit. We evacuated east but no computer. I am using a cell phone for everything. Very difficult.

That must be really difficult Jeff, I hope your neighbourhood isn’t too hard hit.

Hey @fos1,

Am I ok to add a “play online” option to my comp entry please?

I’ve done the online parchment thing and have a HTML page with the game in.

Thanks

Adam

The author of the ParserComp entry “Race Against Time” has just announced that the game can now be played online here:

No need to download anything. I played through it online, and except for a few layout differences, it plays very well online.

ParserComp 2024 judging has less than a week before the lamp dims for a year.

We have some very interesting and creative games this year. Can’t wait to the see the results!

ParserComp 2024 games have 112 ratings so far. Last year’s comp had 174 ratings with one less game.

Let’s try to beat last year’s number.

Thanks, Jeff

Hey @fos1, I just noticed that the ParserComp home page has an error in the closing date for judging. It says Sunday, 31 July 2024, but Sunday is 28 July and Wednesday is 31 July. I think the latter is correct. Can you confirm?

The ParserComp lamp is sputtering. Only one day left.

Two lamps are up for grabs. Who will win?

Less than I day left for voting.

Thank you, everyone!

We’re now up to 150 with 13 hours to go… if two more judges put in their ratings in the final moments that’d beat the previous number, but still, it’s a nice jump up in five days.

Oops, I meant to do this last night but totally spaced - thanks for bumping! Will get those in later this morning.

EDIT: looks like we’re at 186, well above last year’s number in raw terms and also slightly ahead on a per-game basis!

Great response from everyone this year, 198 ratings and 17 games. Wow!

Just a few hours left. Maybe we can break 200? :wink:

I played and rated every entry. Even the Python game.

We broke 200. The final count was 201. That’s an average of 11.8 votes per game.

I have the raw data for the ratings. 201 Ratings! Incredible!

I will crunch the numbers on my Raspberry Pi 5 Supercomputer and publish the results by tomorrow.

It will then be time to have the brass plates engraved for the winner’s trophies (the ones made from wizard’s gold…)
