Please make the title of your email [Shortest Code Contest].
I got an email with attachments entitled "54 bytes". The author did not
reply to my query, so I'm assuming it was in fact a virus or porn
solicitation.....
Also, deadline June 15th, 2002. We officially have three entries so far....
Would you like to post the guidelines again? Such as how it's judged and
stuff like that?
Is it better to have shorter code or a cooler scene? That is, which is more
heavily weighed in the judging, code length or scene coolness?

1) an 800x600 AA 0.3 jpg of your image will be prepared.
2) a website where all the entries will be listed with their //xyz name (ala
http://10best.raytrace.com/short/shortvote.html)
3) votes from the public will be accepted to a certain email address.
folks will vote on six most favorite images.
4) each entry's score will be tabulated: 6 pts for each favorite vote, 5 for
each 2nd fav,.... 1 pt for 6th fave.
5) virtual medals (ala http://10best.raytrace.com/short/shorttable.html) will
be awarded for:
a) Efficiency = score total / number of bytes in image
b) Artistry = score total / 1
c) Paucity = score total / (number of bytes) ^2
So overall the "highest honor" is the efficiency score. good image AND small
size count.
