But I think that there is a difference showing your IRTC work and asking
for artistic advice and asking for technical advice on a SCC. The later
work then becomes a collaboration. I think that you have inadvertently shot
yourself in the foot.


Furthermore I believe you when you said you were just showing off your work
but you should have kept the code to yourself until after the contest was
over.

improve with exposure, some lose but mostly (IMO) you gain.
