The One Hour Compo engine was rebuilt and made public 5 weeks ago. We've tested it 50 times already with really epic battles! Heck, 25 of these battles happened in the last week. :o

Though, I would say, the OHC engine is not 100% complete due to a technical backend problem. Recently, I realized that while BotB operates in your web browser in UTF-8 the server runs on ISO-8859. Don't know what that means? Let's say it creates many filename compatibility issues between your browser and the server. I have the solution in my brain, no implementation yet, but it will be nice to finally have all BotB entries in their proper places! :D/

WACKY FILES is a damn cool ohc

But I don't think I'll be adding that new layer to interpret submissions under wildcard. Right now there is a format table, and BotB could do some great interpretive dancing if there was also a filetype table for a matrix of coagulation to take place. Unfortunately, I already have a to-do list that would make even the UN cry.

wildcard is for chiptunes / chipist points
allgear is for music / mixist points

if you want new, specific formats let me know
