Iron ChIF (Season One Episode 1)

Iron ChIF is an intfiction.org "forum show" modeled after the Japanese television series Iron Chef.

Over the course of five days, two authors compete to create a working game from the same "challenge ingredient" -- a conceptual seed similar to the type seen in SeedComp. Their goal is to score highly with a panel of official judges, and to win the audience's vote for their game.
