this entry couldn't have waited until at least one of them worked?

  or at least have thumbnails or whatever those placeholders are supposed to be. ...and is my count wrong, or are there more judges than entrants?
  - yahelc 15y ago
    I imagine a lot of potential attendees (myself included) were dissuaded from attending by the hurricane.
    - rhizome 15y ago
      Maybe, but check out the judges page, it's endless.

    http://nodeknockout.com/judges http://nodeknockout.com/judges - 172 judges http://nodeknockout.com/teams http://nodeknockout.com/teams - 297 teams http://nodeknockout.com/entries http://nodeknockout.com/entries - 200 (right now) entries, which I think means teams who have deployed at least once.

    Having a high judge: contestant ratio is good for everyone; judges have less work, everyone gets evaluated by a few judges, and it takes less clock time. More work for Gerad and visnup, though

  The team have an option to remove it's project from the voting, but not from the entries page. Mine entry works fine, but it's kind of ramdom to find out others that are not breaking.

1. Yeah, our screenshot service is getting hammered, it's down, but the contestant apps are up. We're fixing it right now. We had to roll our own, so if anybody knows of a better one, holler. 2. What aaron said about the judges. It sounds like a lot, but we want each team to have 10 judge reviews, and each judge only to have to review 10 apps. Hence the 1:1 ratio. It's really hard to get, but it makes the contest better. 3. People are complaining about Facebook auth for public voting. There are 750 million people on Facebook, and we wanted to pick just a single auth method for the public (that normal people know how to use), so Facebook wins. Contestants logged in with GitHub, and judges log in with Twitter, so it wasn't a technical decision at all, just a simplicity of use one. Anyway, it's not about the contest itself, it's about what people create during it. So comment on those. What apps did you like?

The entry that Chris Granger (ibdknox) and I submitted is Node Defense: http://wrench-labs.nko2.nodeknockout.com/ http://wrench-labs.nko2.nodeknockout.com/ The lobby is actually a full-on chat room (a la old school blizzard.net) and the game itself is all custom code (no libraries for the canvas stuff).

You save time you would have spent agonizing over broken code! See test results for the most popular modules, and steer clear of broken modules :) Over 500 modules tested! Nest shows a module’s compatibility with multiple node versions and operating systems (e.g. Solaris, Linux, Mac).
