I've been rating games this LD, and I see there are rating categories for game design, art, and music, but there's no explicit category for programmers.

You could say that the innovation category is meant to satisfy that, but I feel like that is a split between game design and implementation, kind of an all-rounder.

I don't know what category could be added to rate programming, and I realize it's a rather challenging thing to add, since you can't expect every person rating a game to look at the game's source code (might not even be available). The best I got would be something along the lines of "technical achievement", which would once again be slightly difficult to rate, since you'd have to guess what is and isn't a technical achievement, but maybe it's better than nothing?

I'd like to hear other people's thoughts on this.

Oh, and if you're in the game-rating market, my game is available: Sandwich Drop
