The Competition Game Loader (CGL) is a program that manages a folder full of game coding competition (pyweek, ludumdare, pyday, etc) entries in an effort to make testing and judging them all as easy as possible.
CGL will attempt to run any of the submissions, but authors can quickly and easily make their game work specifically with CGL by creating a simple config file.
Get Compo Game Loader and test it to see what it can do for you!
