vidak Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) Okay. I got $250AUD for my birthday. This is the first discretionary spending money I've had since June last year. I was going to build something cool like a raspberry pi cell phone or build a homebrew 6502 computer. But it has all been done before. I always say I wanna give back to AtariAge because it has helped me combat my depression and psychosis, and has helped me develop as a person. I wanna use this prize money to stage a competition - is this allowed? Is this a good idea to promote activity on AtariAge? I am an ASM 2600 programmer, so my natural idea was to promote 2600 homebrew development - but I know there is a lot of 7800, Intellivision, and other consoles being developed for. I feel like it might be more fair to allow the competition to be a multi-platform contest. What do you think? If it was just 2600, I would put equal parts of the 250 towards dual first prizes for ASM and batariBASIC first prizes. What would be a good set of rules for a possible contest?

Although game must be original pre-existing code libraries can be used. 4. Developer retains all rights but agrees ROM will be freely available via AtariAge.

Your ideas are good but I don't see this "competition" going anywhere. I only say that as it's received no traction at all since i'ts posting in February 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Yeah, I didn't realize I was necroposting at the time. Pretty sure this could have been promoted better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
