Round four of the POVRay short code contest
Not quite a full on announcement but close enough.
Please point your browser here and make any suggestions, comments, wording,
etc.
http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/scc4/
Very similar to the last one in 2004 except ...
- Voting by entrants only
- Source code available during voting, you vote on the craft as well as the
image
- No external resources, eg: #include, font files, and so on.

One problem that might arise is that people could start using the code
of previous entries, modify it a bit and submit it as new. In my scc3
submission you could for example simply change the colors and pattern
and have a differently looking but essentially very similar scene. Due
to the small size this might not be easily recognizable for the voters
(because you could quite well get independently to very similar 256
character scenes).
The fact that the code will be visible makes this easier to deal with
but i still fear that during voting there could be extensive discussion
about whether some entries are based on older ones.

Probably a stupid question, but.... we can submit more than one entry,
right?

I hope so.
Participating with multiple entries is not so much like trying to win
by submitting lots of images, but more like showing people all the
different ideas you got while thinking about how to do spectacular
things with very short code. Some of the ideas might not have been
so good in the end, but I think it's still nice to show people what
you got.
Besides, having lots of entries never hurts this kind of competition.
Nothing hurts it more than having just 5 entries.

Perhaps it could be a good idea if the entry file could be submitted
as an attachment (or whatever it is called in webforms), like it is
possible in many webforms out there. This way we can be sure that you
are getting the file exactly as it was written and that nothing modifies
it along the way (by eg. adding a newline at the end of the file or
whatever).

By the way, one thing which is unclear is whether the authors of the
entries will be visible during the voting period.
They they will not be visible, then it may be a good idea to add
a rule that in the readable version and the comments the author should
not put his own name...

Good point, yes the intention is that entries will be anonymous until after
votong.

I'll ensure this doesn't happen.
I already (last time) replaced any combinations of CR lf with a single
space.
I will also check end of lines.

I have no problem with multiple entries as long as they are each distinctly
different.
On the other hand lets not go crazy .... lets say a maximum of 4 per person?
Everyone happy with that?

I suppose that's ok.
