I decided to shake things up a little bit. Today I am narrowing down the finalists to 4. First though, a big thank you and congratulations to all of you who participated in the contest. Keep on programming and continue making games. After this 2nd round, I'll be deciding the winner. Again, the community can help influence my decision. This time around I'll be putting up the source code, as I know some of you were unable to run some games. The focus is, is the code easy to compile? Does it work on multiple systems? Is the code "good code"?

Ace Of Space: Nice, old school gameplay, a variety of enemies, nicely structured source code. A serious contender.
KAATI: Compiles out of the box on linux - big plus. Interesting gameplay. Nicely used configuration files make code much leaner. I really like it. What a pity it is not object oriented.
Supernova: Beautiful graphics and music, also source code reminds me sdltutorials(it is even throughly commented). I would seriously consider it for a tutorial. Just remove the 50MB worth sounds directory(music is great but why wavs?)
Zallan: I love the gameplay. But the source code... ONE file containing EVERYTHING, no class declarations and functions body inside class statement. Author must be a java addict.

in KAATI README.txt there is an information that it compiles on linux, however there is no Makefile in the archive.
