The winner! (August 21, 2002)



Congratulations to The Hardesty's! The submission of the fox immediately caught my eye from the beginning. As time went on and I kept seeing my favorites, I kept coming back to that fox! I really like the paw-raising and tail swooshing animation! The Hardesty's win a free copy of Koffi: Yellow Kopter plus credit in the final game!

The other Finalists

It was very difficult for me to choose the winner; there were so many good submissions. So many in fact, that I revised my original plans and included all of the following designs into the game. You will all get listed in the credits for your contribution!

Some of the criteria that I referred to in judging the designs were: cuteness factor, quality of animation, following the rules (and creativity) with height/width and color use, and initial impact. I tweaked a few of the submissions to make them appear better on the actual 5200 (and some to fit within the rules), and the colors will vary a wee bit depending on level so that the animals show up against the background in the best manner. Finally, you wouldn't believe how much WORK it was to modify Koffi's animal engine and tables and to graph out your submissions & type them into the Assembly Language code! Whew!
