	The '''Summer 2010 Dualstream Day of Zeux''' took place on July 17-18th, 2010, and was hosted by [[Lancer-X]] and [[Terryn]]. Two games of note came out of this Day of Zeux -- "immortality" by [[Kom]] and "King Yu's Tower" by [[logicow]], which split the judges evenly, the hosts favoring the latter and the rest of the judges favoring the former. Otherwise, the turnout was rather standard-fare, with an RTS by [[GreaseMonkey]] and a highly-thematic game ~~bby~~ [[Baby Bonnie Hood]] coming in 3rd and 4th. GreaseMonkey's friend and tracker-scene composer [[coda]] submitted a joke entry, purposely choosing the Theme-Heavy sheet so it would not be disqualified.

	Despite the general quality of the highest scoring entries, both had major technique bugs that made both games much more difficult to play than they should have been. "immortality" had a flawed bullet routine that could slow the game to a crawl by the 3rd level, machine dependent, as well as the potential to trap the player in pits, albeit ones that are fortunately easily detectable by the player before they become an issue. "King Yu's Tower" had a very flawed player detection algorithm in the bosses' vector bullets, causing them to damage the player at inappropriate times ([[Lachesis]] complained incessantly about this bug after the DoZ and finally proved it exists in 2012).

	Another interesting entry is [[Mr_Alert]]'s DOS port of the then-current version of [[MegaZeux]], 2.83.		Another interesting entry is [[Mr_Alert]]'s DOS port of the then-current version of [[MegaZeux]], 2.83.

The '''Summer 2010 Dualstream Day of Zeux''' took place on July 17-18th, 2010, and was hosted by [[Lancer-X]] and [[Terryn]].

			There was no DoZ drama generated from the scores of this competition.
