So I’m an hour late. I did

593 words, 3177 characters in my word processor.
652 words 3176 characters in Notepad+

I don’t think it’s an apostrophe difference. Hrm.

Oddly, 7PM GMT translates to the EDT when I was usually trying to write something anyway. I’m in!

BTW, is everyone writing a Choice Script game, or is this a free-for-all?

26

It’s a free for all! I’m working on my choicescript game. I’m not doing code sections for the challenge though because code can take a bit longer and needs more thinking.

Hey, could we put the writing we did in 15 minutes here?

28

Sure! If you want to do the challenge at a different time then yes. :slight_smile: But no cheating! And we’d rather encourage everyone to do it at the same time!

Do you think the difference, if you’ve been writing in the code as well, might be due to special characters? Maybe *if, and *choice, and #Go–and so forth–haven’t been counted as words in the word processor…

I’m not writing any code. :slight_smile: I’ve no idea why it’s doing what it’s doing. :slight_smile: I suppose I’ll investigate further later. But thanks for the suggestions.

YAY!!! The more the merrier!

I’m enjoying it so far. It’d be so nice if it actually gets me into a habit of writing every single day! And it’s good to have everyone else to do it with.

I might go ahead and try this as well! It sounds like fun. :smiley:

Plus I really need to write today, as I haven’t had time to yet.

Done! Word count: 738. Characters: 4453.

Not editing is so hard! So is resisting the temptation to tinker with my code! But I finally started my new skeleton scene. Thanks for this! It’s great inspiration.
