Wait, wait, wait. Clearly we need to get your prize switched from ramen to a bowl of dry cheerios.

I think Pinback had been playing the winning entry.

I can't wait for my tasty tasty ramen.

Someone else took first place. Explain your "?".

?

[quote="bruce"][quote="Ice Cream Jonsey"]I will be outraged if Bruce doesn't win the Twitter Comp. I would like to say that I have not played any other entries yet, so my opinion is [i]unvalued[/i]. But 337 million white spaces & Stiffy Makane? You've won.

How much of the game is included, Bruce?[/quote]

Pretty much everything I've written so far...although the game arbitrarily ends when you get to Darkest Africa, but since you have the source, you can fix that.

What I have so far is probably 75-80% of the whole game.

Bruce got second place in the TWIFCOMP. Congratulations, Bruce!

That's pretty bad ass. I'm so verbose, it takes me 140 characters to say that I'm about to say something. Coding anything that does anything in that amount of space is impressive.

Hey, congrats on your TWIFComp placement!

I think it will not win because it does not keep with the "spirit" of the competition.

However, it has [i]won our hearts and minds.[/i]

Which is much more, or less, important.

I don't even know what the game is, but you win.

**** You have won ****

You didn't.

You [i]didn't.[/i]

You couldn't have... I ... I heard [i]someone[/i] made a game in that whitespace language, but that's just a - [b]it's an untested prototype![/b]

No way. No friggin' way!

I submitted a game to TWIFComp. The rules were, the source had to be 140 or fewer non-whitespace characters.

Yes, that's right. 137 non-whitespace characters....and 339 million whitespace. Here's the non-whitespace:
