You know how only .dm files count to the 8k limit? I was wondering if HTML files do as well, since they are used to pass info to the game and such and could technically be considered additional programming.

HTML files don't count. The only caveat is that if the bulk of your game is in JavaScript or something with DM really being just a stub loader, that's an obvious disqualification. (Using some JavaScript however is encouraged, if it improves the game interface.)

HTML files, savefiles, text files, .dms files, and maps do not count.

I would assume quality of the code is not something that is taken into account.

If you go download Lummox JR's 4k entry, Scream of the stickster, take a peek at the source code.
It's definitely compact code (very), but no way in hell is it actually *good* code.

(Well, it might be if it wasn't so compact and unreadable. Even if it was terrible programming form (inefficient, etc), you couldn't tell because you can't understand what 90% of it does)
