The 2016 Halloween Layout Contest (Rules and Submissions)

Link Thread Closed

Welcome to the 2016 Halloween Layout Design contest!

I know a few people were expecting some sort of hacking contest, however I decided to do something a little different this year that everyone can participate in!

The Contest is simple. Make the best Halloween themed layout and submit it to this thread by the deadline. Judges will then pick the best 3 entries for a Gold, Silver or Bronze badge along with a downloadible game prize! Users will also vote after the deadline on their favorite pick for an additional badge and prize.

The Rules of the Contest are as follows:

- All submitted entries must adhere to the General SMWC Site Layout rules located here. Points will be deducted for each infraction.
- You may only submit one entry
- Teamups are not allowed.
- You may change and update your layout as many times as needed up until the deadline. After that, no changes are allowed

Submissions will be entered as Follows:

-Post in this thread by the deadline.
-You post must have layouts disabled in your post. You will then submit your code in the post.
-Post must also include Normal text describing your layout, sample [code] text, Sample [quote] text, a [url] link that directs to a screenshot of your full layout and finally any other specialized text you many want to point out.
-All Entries must be entered by October 31st, 2016, 7:00pm CST

Scoring:

Scores will for the most part will be based off of overall design. Because there are various methods for coding a decent layout, the code itself will not be judged. However, keep in mind that if any of the code does cause issues by breaking any of the SMWC general forum layout rules, you will be penalized accordingly

PLEASE ONLY POST SUBMISSIONS IN THIS THREAD. KEEP DISCUSSIONS IN THE DISCUSSION THREAD


Good luck and may the best layout win!.

Spoiler in quote test!

This is a spoiler.


Code
Temporibus autem quibusdam et aut officiis debitis aut rerum necessitatibus saepe eveniet ut et voluptates repudiandae sint et molestiae non recusandae. Itaque earum rerum hic tenetur a sapiente delectus, ut aut reiciendis voluptatibus maiores alias consequatur aut perferendis doloribus asperiores repellat.

Here's a screenshot to the layout, updated to a somewhat cleaner look.

I think I'm done. I just need to make sure the spider moves around in all browsers (did you notice that?). It doesn't on Android's default browser, but way too many layouts also don't work there. EDIT: I fixed a bug and now it works there too, cool!
I hope you like!
Oh, and this is a signature written in Comic Sans MS and auto-lowercased.
Dunno if I should keep it as a joke or replace it lol
After not gathering many ideas for layouts as of lately, here's one I just came up with in a few hours!

I'm a sample quote and there are more interesting things to come!

Code
org $009E25
db $09 ;start with 10 lives

Differently colored link! (Now it leads to a screenshot of the full layout)
This layout may be subject to change since I'm really picky about changing or fixing things and it hopefully is functional in other browsers, but regardless of which, I hope it's at least enjoyable in general.
i tried. that counts right

By the way, try selecting the text in my layout.


Code
 LDA !RAM_AirFlag,x
 BNE .GroundCode
 LDA !RAM_TimerA,x
 BEQ .AirCode


Wow! Different color links!
I wasted the most time making the spoilers LOL

I'll change some stuff probably. I'm mostly glad this is easier than making a level, lel
Signature box. ofc it stretches ;)

This is my first attempt at making a layout, so I definitely don't expect to win, but I really wanted to give it a try anyway. Also, thank you RanAS for this wonderful layout making tutorial!
Sample signature.
Quote
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc vulputate mi in consectetur molestie. Sed tristique lacinia tincidunt. Suspendisse nec dictum metus, id imperdiet erat. Aenean mattis justo augue, ac imperdiet mi dapibus a. Ut bibendum ut magna et aliquet. Nullam quis lobortis ipsum, eu vehicula magna.
Quote
Etiam aliquam pulvinar nisl sed iaculis. Donec lorem velit, molestie eget consectetur ac, finibus eget massa. Phasellus non ipsum magna.
Pellentesque ut tellus ipsum. In leo magna, blandit sit amet maximus at, tempor ut ipsum. Nullam sollicitudin mollis nisl, in sagittis sapien pellentesque eu.

Code
INC $19

Screenshot. It's pretty much done now. idk what else to say about it. The pumpkin bg scrolls diagonally, which hopefully doesn't affect anyone's performance that much. I won't be using it so I might give it out if anyone's interested.
There's nothing here.
BOO!
Signature - link 1 | link 2 | link 3

Spoiler.

It's very improvised, but I think it worked out well.

Some sample text here too, it uses a custom font.
Spoiler.


Code
if (powerlevel > 9000) {powerlevel = 9000; document.write = "Not today!";}
"Signature goes here, I like using italics here because I generally quote stuff." --RanAS
