I once again wish @randomuser and @PixelDoodle the best of luck and may the best one win! It will probably come down to a single vote but that’s because you’re both super talented at game design. That aside, bring it on! ---

Honestly, If we had to vote who would win, It’d be too hard for me to choose who wins, cause @randomuser and @PixelDoodle are both so good at coding! For now, good luck. ---

Hey this is really fun! Haven’t seen anything like it! One note i would add is that the frame duration is in milliseconds- i thought it was in frames per second lol ---

For some reason, I feel a lot of similarity between CODER KING and the Unique-a-thon. ---

Yeah it was heavily inspired! ---

> [@Coder king 2](https://forum.makecode.com/t/coder-king-2/16390/155): > > I loved the idea of the Coder King since the original, > [@Unique](#): > > TOTALLY not inspired by the Coder King competition, there will indeed be a trophy for the champion of the Unique-A-Thon. The Coder King is indeed one of my biggest inspirations for the Unique-A-Thon. So it’s no surprise that there’s some similarities. Although I did do some things like fan voting, an interactive website, and conferences to separate the Unique-A-Thon from other unofficial game jams. @Taser, any similarities are simply because if I had to choose the most trusted unofficial tourney on the forums to take notes from, it would be yours. And I don’t expect the Unique-A-Thon to ever be nearly as well hosted as the Coder King. Thank you for the inspiration Taser. Btw, Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone ❤! ---

> [@Unique](#): > > And I don’t expect the Unique-A-Thon to ever be nearly as well hosted as the Coder King. Tbh, with the site, trophy and everything… I’d say the Unique-a-thon has now surpassed Coder king in organisation (not to say coder king is still awesome!) ---

Hello! Would you mind giving me a small extension for my game deadline? I got the new strain of COVID-19 at the end of the last comp which took a ton of time to recover from, and I had two immediate family members birthdays! If you can’t grant one, i can still send what I had time to make, but it is smaller than I would hoped / ufinished yet still playable. If you can, I would hope for atleast wednesday but more is greatly appreciated! ---

I hope Thursday sounds good! I understand your situation personally (I got COVID-19 during round 1 of the Coder King, and broke my pinky the week before 😅), so it’d be wrong of me to deny an extension. The latest you can submit is **Thursday** this week, no later. Good Luck 👍! ---

That was part of the reason why I forfeited, but I still tried to participate. But unfortunately, priorities got the best of me, so I had to forfeit.
