How do you create an entire game in one weekend? I thought it takes months of work. Maybe if you already have an idea and have it all planned out before you go to the competition, and then when you're there you just type out your code as fast as you can? Even then it sounds very difficult! And debugging is a lot of work, too so you have to leave time for that.

It all depends on how advanced you want it.
I could make a snake game in a couple of minutes.
Improve it with graphics, sounds, game history and scenarios, maps, enemies, weapons, bonuses, history, scenario editor, hiscore list, netplay, savegames, options, etc ..... and you could keep at it for many months and end up with something completely different.

Have you seen junkyard wars on discovery channel? Make a submarine or an airplane in 10 hours from scrap, it's amazing, and fun!!!
