Opry99er Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Are there specific types of projects that are desired? I have (Just this week) started writing a text adventure game for the TI-99/4A Home Computer which is a sequel to an old BBS game running on original hardware. I don't know if this would qualify.

It's pretty much anything you want to do that fits within the rules. A text adventure for the TI would work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 The text is correct, the embedded link is wrong. It should be http://www.retrochallenge.org/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linville Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Yes, please use http://retrochallenge.org for access. The person controlling the .net and .com versions has not updated them since retrochallenge.org got moved to the new site, or something...

JamesD Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 John, were we supposed to submit entries to you? I didn't see it on the rules so I only posted the release to my blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2600problems Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 i'm lost, what is retrochallenge? a gaming competition? a coding contest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 C) All of the above. You pick your own project: hardware hacks, repair, software development, interfacing, cataloguing and so on. Rather free form, and you document your progress during the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackel192 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 is it still going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 no it ended quite a while ago, typically there is a january, and a april challenge lasting about a month each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Actually it used to be January and July but due to some kind of popular demand the Retrochallenge was shifted to April and October, which means the next challenge should begin in a month from now.
