Twilight Begins

Darkness in now over. As soon as we chew through the 200 entries we received in the last hour, we’ll announce our first mid-contest winner. 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 EDT on Friday. Good luck!
