Programming contest!

benol · Post by **benol** » Tue Sep 18, 2007 2:43 pm

I propose we have a programming contest! All those who agree, get to programming!

RULES:

1. The program must be runnable on most computers without the assist of any extra programs.

2. The program can be any type. Applications, games, emulators, ect.

3. You can use any programming tool or language. C++, Java, Pascal, VBS, GameMaker, Notepad, HTML, or whatever else floats your boat.

4. The program MUST BE INTERACTIVE. However, there are no rules to how it must be interactive. The program does not have to be graphical, i.e. text adventures.

5. Be creative. Don't program something that millions of clones exist of like Tetris. If you do program something like that, make it have a feature that doesn't exist in any other clones.

With all of that said, Ready, Set, CODE!!!

Now, would a game in RMXP be aloud? Oh, and can I enter multiple times? mkay

EDIT: If you downloaded this before my edit then re-download it because thats an old bugged release.

I think it should be a rule that you can't submit old code...

Me thinks you needs to shut up

I don't see the problem really...I mean, nobody ever said anything about a Time Limit so technically I could have done it 80 days ago. I mean if it's really that big of a deal then i will post my other game.

Considering it is a contest, and not a 'Who has made the best program' thread, you should have to start it now.

Come on people! The deadline for the contest is Saturday, September 22, at 12:00 AM Eastern time. Begin submissions now!

@harshboy: I played your game for a while, and I can't figure out where to go after you get the sword. Also, sometimes the game wants to think bridges are walls.

One question, is there a prize of any kind?
