Letter from Japan

Remember last time I told you about Coral Maze being nominated in the competition? Well, I have a nice surprise in that I got a package from Japan via Air Mail! It's from SmileBoom sending all of us nominee a nice care package for being nominated.

It has some stickers, a CD, a nice letter. The picture above is an illustration on how the selection is done: By RANDOM! (not really).

Apparently, entries that aren't nominated only receive the stickers, and no CD. I saw the award ceremony on YouTube. It's pretty fun, but really, I don't speak Japanese. Still, the fun spirit is there, and I appreciate the letter very, very much!

Petit Computer Coral Maze

SmileBoom entry for Coral Maze

I wrote the Amazing Maze a while back, and bluerobin2 decided to make a game out of it. One thing led to another and before we know it, we have a full-fledge game on our hand.

SmileBoom was having a competition, and I entered this one. I was going to enter another game, but polishing this game, as simple as it is, took a long time, and I didn't finish my other game.

Still, I thought the fact that it was a spontaneous teamwork who never met in person would be interesting. It's a great feeling to be nominated! Kindly, SmileBoom has this to say about it:

"I've seen you everyone working together and making enjoying. It is one of the ideal way of PetitCom."

An obvious machine translation, but kind words, nevertheless.

There will be an entry in petit computer wiki, and I'll update the link when it happens.
