It's been a while since there's been a news article, and Cemetech has been somewhat idle while everyone works hard on their studies and their employment, so no exciting project updates. However, Cemetech and Kerm Martian have recently passed or soon will be passing several significant milestones. The largest number of important is the total number of topic views, closing in on five million. There are now nearly 85,000 posts in close to 3,000 topics since Cemetech moved to an independent forum system in the summer of 2004, an average of 28.75 posts per topic. By default, pages show 20 posts, so the average topic page has 14.375 posts, so depending on how thoroughly readers read each page, Cemetech could theoretically have up to 71,455,753 total post views, or 847 views per post.

In addition, Kerm Martian (yes, me) has reached and surpassed 700,000 downloads on the premiere community site, ticalc.org. Unfortunately, I've slipped from #12 of all time to #13 with 709K downloads, behind Marcos Lope with 713K. I remain confident that if and when I ever get the motivation to release some new projects, that sad state of events will be remedied. Finally, I have a graph of posts per day made on Cemetech over the past four years, displayed below. The X axis is one year per major tick and one week per minor tick. There appears to be about two months of data missing from late 2007, which I'm working on resolving.

Here's to 85,000 more posts!

Yup, they're finally here, the results from the contest that ended in July. Kerm has been busy, as you people have been quick to notice. The topic of this contest was puzzle games, open to whatever spin and interpretation you guys wanted to put on it. Our only requirements were pure BASIC or pure ASM. So without any further stalling, here were the entrants:

• CPlusPlus with Mortle, a Portal-Scorch crossover


• foamy3 with Platform Swapper, similar to PuzzPack's DinoPuzzle


• Igrek with Rubik's


• JFabi82 with KeepAway, your classic shell game


• Keith J with CoinGrab, a fast-paced game against the calculator, and


• ZagorNBK with Link's Puzzle Challenge (LPC), more of an extensible engine/SDK than a finalized game!

So I know you're all itching to know who wins... do I care? Maybe just a little. Here are your winners:

• In 6th place, we have JFabi82's KeepAway. Better luck next time there; but we just couldn't like this game.


• 5th place is none other than foamy3's Platform Swapper. A proven concept, but it was much too slow.


• In fourth is Keith J, whose game was playable and even enjoyable, but not quite as good as the top three.


• Third place is occupied by Igrek, whose Rubik\'s cube game was well designed, but it seems to be a game ill-suited to monochrome graphics.


• In 2nd, we have ZagorNBK's LPC, which was a cleverly designed game, but lacked some pizazz.


• And finally, in first place, we have CPlusPlus with Mortle! We both quite liked this game, which has a unique concept and good execution.

Discuss below, offer your congratulations/condolences/whatnot as you will, but keep it civil as always. Detailed score breakdowns will follow in the attached topic tomorrow.

After being in my projects queue for about two years, I have finally gotten around to finishing Clove 2, the second prototype of my dataglove. Clove 2 is a bluetooth dataglove used for one-handed typing. It uses a 31-combination finger chording design with three modes to allow every key on a standard keyboard to be typed with minimal effort. The bluetooth functionality removes the need to tether it to a computer, and since it profiles as a standard HID Keyboard, a simple translation layer to perform key remapping, sticky modifiers, and mode switching is the only software required. It consists of three components, the glove itself, the bluetooth module, and a custom charger for the Bluetooth module.

I have released photos, a video, and full plans and instructions for building your own Clove 2, including parts lists and schematics. Check out the video below and click through to the Project Page for all of the information. Welcome to all you Engadgeteers, Gizmodo, Hackaday, and Slashdot visitors.

For its fifth official contest, Cemetech has announced that the topic will be puzzle games. Two classes of entries are being accepted, pure BASIC and pure ASM. Note that hybrid BASIC (ie, BASIC using Xlib or similar) does not constitute a valid entry. The topic is pretty broad, so the contestants have some latitude in where they go with the idea; so far there are about six BASIC contestants and two or three assembly contestants. Entries must be received by contest@cemetech.com where .com is .net by 11:59pm EDT, Friday, July 25, 2008. The full rules of the contest as debated by the current entrants:

1) Only pure BASIC or pure ASM programs may be submitted. No code may be borrowed from other programs, but ASM programs may be made for a shell such as Ion, Doors CS, or MirageOS to take advantage of that shell's libraries.

2) All entries must be new projects or previously-unannounced projects. Announcing or publicizing your entry before results of the contest are revealed will lead to disqualification.

3) Prizes are not finalized yet, but there has been discussion of Cemetech merchandise and/or calculator hardware, accessories, or carrying cases of some kind.

Please make a comment in the attached thread indicating that you'll be participating in the contest if you haven't done so already, and good luck!
