    Personally, I think of an alpha as like a "sample" of gameplay, a little taste of what it's going to be like but not enough to really constitute as part of a game, whereas a beta is enough progress that it's starting to look more like the start of a real game than just a game demo.

    Hmm alright. I though that's how far your demo went lol. What's really the difference between an alpha and a beta :/

    Except a beta; all it has so far is an alpha, with a single mission. The hacks showcase requirement calls for a beta that goes through the first two "gyms" in the game (or, I assume, the first two gym-equivalent events). ToxicPurple's alpha hasn't even gotten past one gym-equivalent event. I'm not going to submit it to the hacks showcase until there's some gameplay worth showcasing, not just a demo.

    Hey, have you tried to submit Toxic Purple to hacks showcase? It has all the requirements.

    Good luck in your hack, by the way. I'm ready to release an alpha of mine ^_^

    Nice formula in your signature. Way to divide by zero, dude. XD
