Compo Game Loader

The Competition Game Loader (CGL) is meant to make judging game development competitions easy. Generally there are a great number of entries, and each participant needs to run and judge each of the other games. Each game has it’s own dependencies, instructions, and notes, and going through all of this for every game is tedious at best and infuriating at worst. CGL aims to eliminate the pain by providing a common interface to all the games, keeping track of which ones you have played already, and including helpful information like screenshots, developer information, and a link to the game’s judging page.

Feedback, wiki, and more information at the google code page: http://code.google.com/p/compogameloader/

Some Features:

  • Just point CGL to the directory with all the entries (say, the folder from the torrent)
  • Shows a list of the entries, along with screenshots and author info if available
  • Keeps track of which games you have already played
  • Shows list of dependencies and where to get them, and attempts to test if you have them already (python only)
  • Searches for readme and displays inside CGL
  • Button to run game and provides console output
  • Shows author written how-to, even while playing game
  • Shows link to entry judging page for easy judging
  • Run files from a zip without manually extracting
