I'd definitely be interested. 'Twas good fun last time, and the results are
invariably fascinating.
What's the 'new spin' going to be this time round? :-)

I would definitely be interested. The last one was a lot of fun.

In preparation for one of the previous rounds, we discussed limiting the number
of objects rather than the size of the code. Something like "You can use up
to ten objects chosen from boxes, cones and spheres."
It would be interesting to see what folks could do with textures, etc to make up
for the lack of objects.

I of course LOVE the original idea, but it would be interesting "also" to have a
kind of contest where you build on someone else's code, either for beauty or
rendering efficiency, or problem solving ability. (Hopefully something a
little more interesting than sorting algorithms).
One example (or a separate contest altogether:) How about a bot **in SDL** that
explores and interacts with an isosurface to find a hidden prize?

I'll be there!
What about cromatic limitations (e.g. only blue colors or similar)?

That would make for an interesting wallpaper with all the contest
entries together.
