Time Management

wegstar on 2007/03/31 00:07 of PyWarfare

Well, I'm getting ready before the competition starts. That is, preparing bookmark links in my browser for quick reference to tutorials and manuals, cleaning the table and preparing a pile of scratch paper for an area to plan on, and making a schedule for programming and testing the game i.e. (Must be finished with game on Friday for two days of testing...). I'm doing all this in an attempt to allocate more time to things other than programming (i.e. eating and sleeping), as well as to pace myself, so that I won't find myself uploading the game at the last minute ;).

Two days of testing? Where are you based? The contest starts and ends early in the morning on sunday over here (Europe), if I figured it out well, so I'm planning I get everything finished up by saturday.

I strongly recommend avoiding uploading at the last minute :)

In pyweek #2, I literally uploaded at the last minute. It's marked there, "File sent on 2006/04/02 00:00".

hehe, I uploaded about 5 times in the last 15 minutes I think...

Yersss... and then I get a flood of people emailing / IRC'ing me saying "I tried to upload at the last minute but the server didn't respond [because everyone *else* was *also* uploading at the last minute] ... could you please upload my file for me?". Sigh.

yeah, sorry about that, I'm definitely going to try and avoid that this time ;)

haha yeah I will also be attempting to avoid that! I couldn't even visit the upload page so Richard was really really nice and unlocked my account for a minute to let me upload.
