Folks, you shouldn’t vote for my app. It’s completely non-responsive to the WDC assignment, because I got in my head that we were supposed to build a game about taking care of plants, not use gamification to change habits, and I liked the idea so much I stuck with it once I realized I was totally wrong.
If you were building an app for a client and were as bad at following directions as I was, you’d get fired!
Oh please! Yours was an amazing, one-of-a-kind, extremely fun app even if it wasn’t exactly what the topic asked for. I’m glad you stuck with it! If you hadn’t, I wouldn’t be sitting at the computer and taking care of a bunch of naughty plants, and still having the time of my life!
I know this will probably sound super weird, but if it meant Thunking as good as you do, I’d risk getting fired (I’m talking figuratively here).
Extremely sorry if I am wrong, but I doubt that you are allowed to vote for your own submission. Also, it looks like another Tech India account has voted for this.
@tchind, please have some patience. If you won, Jane will give you a sprite prize in some time (maybe a few days). Remember, @catsarisky had to wait for her prize too.
As mentioned in the chat support ticket and in the personal message @tchind we’re taking our time here to make sure that everything is ok with the voting process.
I appreciate your enthusiasm here but would like to point out that the process of commissioning a custom sprite to the specifications of the winner does not happen instantaneously.
Please be patient with us here as we work through this. We will contact you directly when we have an update on this.
There are a few things I am still wondering about.
The other participants did not vote for themselves… but @tchind did. If @catsarisky had voted for herself, she would have tied you.
Another voter whose username was @worldfromyeye207 had the name of tech India. As @codeswept and I already noted, @tchind signed his emails with tchind (formerly tech India). On top of that, tchind is short for tech India. The only person worldfromyeye207 has liked in this community is tchind (that last statement might have nothing to do with it).
Ok, in light of the bit of concern around our voting process, I will do something unusual* and give everyone a prize!
@tchind@catsarisky@manyone@novice@codeswept if you each message me with a request for a sprite, I will deliver them some time next week. The sprite can be a character, animal, object, etc. Feel free to include references for items/art styles!
*This is only the second one of these so I don’t know if we can call anything unusual yet!
Absolutely! I’m happy for whoever wins. I won’t vote for myself in these competitions but there’s no rule against doing so.
A custom sprite is pretty cool but I think the spirit of WDC is that we get to try something fun & challenging and share the experience with others. I try to always keep that in mind.
