83? BASIC? What kind of lame excuse for a contest is this!?

If someone manages to write a good BASIC version of Pong, I think they deserve to be recognized.

[Addition] ...and I thought the FLASH APP contest was pitiful. This contest doesn't even have real prizes; if the programs were featured on ticalc.org, that might be different, but I've never even heard of these other sites, it would be like posting winners on <i>my</i> website (yes, I know HTML is not allowed), that averages less than a measely 20 hits a day.

Other than my ranting, I'm glad to see someone finally hold some contests, and my salute goes out to you. It also gave me the idea to hold my own contest, and you can expect one from my website to be held over the summer, with all linkable calculators supported and T-shirts for the winners.

By the way, someone needs to review Vector Space.

Both Greenfire and Maxcoderz have some of the best programmers around. Remember Fire Track 2? That'd be Greenfire. Just browse the sites, look at the screenshots of the games they are developing. Those guys are REALLY good.

Indeed, and I am working on Metroid for the 83/83+ right now.

Thanks for the compliments :)

Sorry, meant to include a link.

That looks nice :)

No I don't remember firetrack 2.

Check the arcives. Its sweet!

It's for the 83+.

I retract everthing I said. I was feeling REALLY sick and in a bad mood when I wrote it, and I still am really sick, but a little more level headed. Oi. :P

Are you schizophrenic?

>>if the programs were featured on ticalc.org, that might be different,

Well, if the program is good enough to win the contest, it probably will be featured anyway.

MWM

They could write it in BASIC and use ASM routines.

the rules specifically say that is not allowed
except for omnicalc(sprites)

If you guys have any questions, feel free to post them on the Maxcoderz forum (click the link)

The reason why I'm not participating is because pong sucks.

Actually that's the reason why I'm participating. I am not really a pong fan so it'll be quite challenging to make a variation on it that will be cool.

Radial Pong all the way...! Too bad it's for the 89

Heh, good idea. Make a completely different type of pong and beat out all the horizontal pong games :)

Someone should make a pong like in the url I post.

That's hilarious. Loser starts a fight then they make up!!!

LOL! I've heard of that movie before, but I had never actually seen it.

Wow. Best use of flash i've ever seen.
