Mikey is in another 48 hour contest. This one is very very informal. No prizes at all. In fact, not even any judging. It is all an excuse for the programmers to get together, chat, and encourage each other. When they aren't fighting about which is better: PC or Mac. This one was started by Mikey 'cause he had a game idea and wanted to be properly motivated to finish it quickly. He has been working hard all weekend and there is a fairly polished little game happening here. It is somewhat like Yahtzee in that you roll dice and come up with combinations for points. However, in this version there are different combos and your dice are held or thrown by ducks. Yes, ducks. Very cute ones. One of them is wearing a crown. Adorable. I have no idea if he is going to do a demo (it's pretty small to begin with!) but if he does I will tell you all to go get it. Then you will all fall in love with it and want to buy it so that I can pay my mortgage. Good plan, huh? : ) I thought so, too.
