Pixel contest at IGN

Check it out. A buddy of mine at another company directed the game. When you're zoomed in all the way though, you can pixel pretty precisely so I'm sure some of the folks here could whip up amazing pieces, especially given the prizes.

Incase you find the stylus hard to use, keypad + space works for navigation and placement. ;D

Good luck to ll who enter.  :-*

I think it'd be easier to screencap that, and pixel it in whatever program you use, and putting the final touches on it, them painstakingly transfer it over pixel by pixel in flash version.

Agh... this thing is kinda frustrating to navigate...

Anyone know how to pan around once you've fully zoomed in or at least zoom in somewhere other than the center of the body?

It'd be cool to get the exact dimensions of everything, work on this in a separate program, and then just transfer...

Nice find, though :D

I'm waiting for more info on this game - it looks pretty fun.


EDIT: The arrow keys allow you to move pixel-by-pixel, the spacebar allows you to paint (thanks Presley). Moving the arrows allows you to pan while zoomed in, too. Rockin'.

Hopefully this template I threw together will help out:



Pallette's in the upper left.  Here's the default Guide character if you need some sort of reference:



Dimensions:

armJoints:  10x18 px
arms:        22x18 px
legJoints:   18x10 px
legs:         18x22 px
head:        36x40 px
body:        36x38 px

Good Luck! :D Can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

EDIT: What's the deadline on this, anyway?
