Within a few hours, there were some amazing tweets submitted, some of which just blow my mind. All submissions can be found here. One of my current favourites is this one of a tree, which is just brilliant!

Needless to say, I couldn’t resist the challenge, so have created Painted Rain, which is _supposed_ to look like drops of paint falling into water and blending together. Was really tough to do in 140 characters! Here’s the link to the swf, and the code:

h=r();l=600;o[i++]={a:h*l,b:r()*l,c:h*30,d:h*1e7};g.clear();for each(e in o){g.beginFill(e.d,20/e.c);g.drawCircle(e.a,e.b,e.c++)}i>150?i=0:i

You can keep up to date on the contest by searching for #tweetcoding on Twitter!

• Addition of high scores
• No limit on the number of lives (though obviously, the less you use the better – don’t want to be smashing too many eggs!)
• Timer – Just to add a little competitive edge – try to complete it in the fastest time possible, without losing many lives!

I would like to comment on a couple of tutorials and code samples which have really helped in my creation of Egg Roll:

• How to create a high scores table and the great timer code: http://www.blinkdagger.com/flash/creating-high-score-table-in-adobe-flash-cs3
• The APE physics engine – truly awesome http://www.cove.org/ape/index.htm

I hope you enjoy this version of Egg Roll – as always, I’d love to hear any comments or suggestions!

Reminder of controls – just the left and right cursors!

Enjoy…

This version has 5 levels. The code has been massively re-written so the level configuration is stored in xml. This means that the game below is coded in around 200 lines!

There’s only the one level. Control the egg using the left/right cursors. You’ll need to click inside the movie to activate it…

The aim of the game is to get the egg into the basket. Be careful not to break it!
