+nanochess Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Hi all. Here is the IntyBASIC Tiny Contest 2024. These are the rules: The contest is open from Apr/01/2024 00:00 GMT to Apr/30/2024 23:59 GMT to any member of Atariage. The game/program should be written using IntyBASIC. The resulting game can use a maximum of 8K words (based on the default mapping of $5000-$6fff) so no ASM ORG statements. The results of the contest will be determined by a poll open to all members of Atariage (to run from May/01/2024 00:00 GMT to May/07/2024 23:59 GMT May/14/2024 23:59 GMT) To participate, a single thread will be open on Apr/01/2024 00:00 GMT >>>HERE<<< where games can be posted: Name, Description, Brief Manual, Two Screenshots (or you can use animated GIF or link to a Youtube video of your entry), and ROM upload so people can test it. If the game is bigger than 8K words (16 kilobytes), the entry won't be considered in the contest. Each entry will be validated to be sure it was compiled with IntyBASIC before putting it into the poll. Extensions like extra RAM, ECS, Tutorvision, and JLP accelerators are allowed, just make sure you mention it when posting your entry so people know how to run your entry.

+cmadruga Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Not nitpicking, but shouldn't the entries thread be inside the programming forum for consistency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, because it doesn't require source code to be published, and the ROM files will be available to everyone for testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I'm hoping to make a entry. I'd like to at least win a catalogue from Rev. I did get a head start. I'm assuming that's okay. I did about 3 hours about a year ago, and about 3 hours today. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 8KWords? Man, I gotta cut out FMV, digital soundtrack, unreal engine 0.1, alcohol, coffee, chocolate flavored birds, and snow levels from my game. I'll think of something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are a couple of others I've made throughout the years, in case they are useful. I rather like the knight piece rendered in glorious 8-bit chunkiness. -dZ. Funny thing about that last picture, I just found the original photo I took for it, before processing it. Big difference! 😄 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timwylie Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 What's the best "getting started with IntyBASIC" guide? Side notes: I'm on linux, and I have the first book, which might be the answer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 The first book is an excellent place to start. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
