Does the platforms HAVE to be sepperated? or can they be more floor-like? _________________

Hmm... I think I have an idea... but if I attempt it there is 50% chance I won't be able to finish on time (as aposed to now where there is a 25% chance ). |

I know what I will do if I do it at all, and I have a simple system for generating the platforms (originally it was going to be really complicated and be generated at the beginning of each level. It was somewhat ingenious method of storing the levels, but I bet it would have been really slow...)
Is it ok if we use time fuctions in the programs? _________________ Any fool can use a computer. Many do.

I would love to enter this competition....But I think there should be a basic contest, and a asm one...Not in the same, because I believe many of us are at a disadvantage on this one. _________________

The judging is separate for the two separate sections. _________________

hey, now don't say that, you have just as much of a shot as everyone else. If you put a lot of effort into it, it will show. _________________ I am the eye of the river

I'll stay out for now; but I'll maybe compete in the next one, depending on what it is.  _________________

I say this because I've royally failed at every game I've ever tried to make... I might give Super Senor another chance though, seeing as I learned how to use Xlib correctly. _________________

I know. I wasn't relating to the contest.
Super Senor is a game where you're put in the shoes a a super senor (Failed senor year once before) and the only way you can pass is to pass the last exam of the year in math. You have three days before the test, but you must use your time wisely. You have to juggle between studying, sleeping, going to class, and working if you want to have any chance to pass the test. You can study alone or with a tutor. (Each having their own effects on your status points.) You can cheat, but you have the possibility of getting caught. You can skip class the day of the final, but once again you could be seen sneaking out, and you'll either have to give yourself up...or run to various areas of the building. (Each having different effects on whether or not you get caught, and what your consequence will be.) At the beginning of the game you don't have the necessary materials pass the test. (Calculator, pencil, etc...) and you'll have to work in order to get the money. When you either run out of time, or decide to take the test early, you answer a few random math related questions...This will effect one portion of the final grading system. The other is based off of your intelligence points gained throughout the game. If you get above a 50% you pass high school. A high score system will be developed to keep final grades, and the students name.
Sorry if that was hard to read through...I'm not really sure on alot of the fine details. _________________

"Senior." The word is "senior," not "senor."  _________________

0x5...This is why I shouldn't make a game. I can't even spell one of two main words going to be on the main menu.  _________________

I am still in the process of creating the engine. Once i get it going though development of the rest of the game will be quick and painless. _________________
