It's safe to say that mysterious and reclusive DC member Skrommel single-handedly built the Coding Snacks section of the DonationCoder forum, where people request small custom applications. Coding in the Autohotkey scripting language, Skrommel is also one of the fastest coders we've seen -- when he is on the prowl it's not uncommon for him to finish coding a request before most of us have had time to even read it. He also typically shares his source code along with the compiled utility, which makes it possible for others to extend and customize his tools.

A Dark and Deadly PathA Dark and Deadly Path is a super tiny little audio game engine (can be used to make audio-only one switch games too). This was an unofficial entry into the contest that was not eligible to win any prizes, as it was written by one of the organizers (mouser). It works like the old Dragon's Lair LaserDisc game [1], or like those "choose your own adventure games [2], but is audio only and involves no graphics. An author narrates a story/game is an audio story where the reader/play must make choices along the way by pressing a key on the keyboard. The choices may have to be made rapidly in quick succession within a narrow time window which can add an element of panic to the story - and make it a particularly appropriate device for suspense stories. Audio files are normal .mp3 files that an author records with standard software. The game script is an .xml file with a format to be described in a separate file. Download: Here.
