Though if an external file of instructions is permitted, I'd love to do that. But if everyone else was forced to give up bytes for in-game instructions also, I'd hate to be the exception and have an unfair advantage. I love the restriction of the contest, and want to comply with it -- I just messed up.</p> <p>It's really my fault for not paying enough attention to the rules -- I think I got confused -- I'm used to "readme" files being read <em>before</em> playing contest entries -- I didn't think of it as being a "readmelater". :)</p> Thanks — I actually ripped out some other code and re-submitted my game just under the wire that included some bare-bones in-game instructions.

It’s really my fault for not paying enough attention to the rules — I think I got confused — I’m used to “readme” files being read before playing contest entries — I didn’t think of it as being a “readmelater”. :)

Argh.
