Per Rutquist is the Darkness Winner

Per Rutquist is the winner of the Darkness phase, his top entry scoring an impressive 208. A. Nieto-Castanon, Marko Stefanovic, and Niilo Sirola also broke 500, with many others close behind. Because we were in Darkness, they developed these entries without getting any feedback on their code at all. Per is already in our Hall of Fame as the winner of the Golf Contest. You can read more about him on the Golf Contest Winners page. He’s also put a mark on the Frappr map.

In the next phase of the contest, Twilight, you’re able to see the scores but not the code. We’ll award another mid-contest prize for the best entry submitted before we make all the code visible at noon EST on Friday. Good luck!
