Speed-IF is a [[minicomp]] usually run from [[ifMUD]] and giving a two-hour (soft) limit to author a game based on a predetermined premise. Someone develops a premise from suggestions or from their own imagination. The first [[Speed-IF]] was done shortly after the [[1998 IF Competition]].

Here is a description of how Speed-IF came about: "I started the first SpeedIF back in October of'98 because I had just finished coding Cattus Atrox and was going through what I call, 'Coding Withdrawal'.  So I asked if anyone would be interestedin a speed if contest.  We started at one hour and eventually realized that two hours was about the right amount of time.  The games are usually setup with a madlib questionaire session, but there have been afew variations.  The segmented SpeedIF worked well, if you ask me. the most important part though is that you have a good funny 'feel' for the evening.  It lends to better games. We have almost always done these from the ifMUD on weekends at around 8pm to 10pm." - [[David Cornelson]]

Speed-IF is a minicomp usually run from ifMUD and giving a two-hour (soft) limit to author a game based on a predetermined premise. Someone develops a premise from suggestions or from their own imagination. The first Speed-IF was done shortly after the 1998 IF Competition.

Here is a description of how Speed-IF came about: "I started the first Speed-IF back in October of 1998 because I had just finished coding Cattus Atrox and was going through what I call, 'Coding Withdrawal'. So I asked if anyone would be interested in a speed "IF" programming contest. We started at one hour and eventually realized that two hours was about the right amount of time. The games are usually setup with a madlib questionaire session, but there have been a few variations. The segmented SpeedIF worked well, if you ask me. The most important part though is that you have a good funny 'feel' for the evening. It lends to better games. We have almost always done these from the ifMUD on weekends at around 8pm to 10pm." - David Cornelson
