Awesome! Would the card games be like TCGs (Trading Card Games)? Because that would be really cool! Especially if somebody allowed calc-to-calc trading!

Well, depending on the length of the contest, RPG could be added as an option as well.

Well it's a 3 month contest, I would think that might be kind of hard to do. However if it was longer I would say yeah.

Yeah, it might be cool to go with RPGs, but that could seem rather daunting Sad

I like RPGs... but it might be too much for this time frame (unless you are DJ and you can program 3 or 4 RPGs a day Razz

)

I want to make a utility.

I really want RPG too...even if it's short one.

I think this is going to be quite interesting, to say the least! I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants a TCG Razz

RPG has been add then. Very Happy

Hmm... I don't know what to vote for now! Neutral

I'll give it a bit more thought, but I think trading card games might be fun... The interesting thing is that most categories can include elements from other categories anyways ie puzzle/rpg platform/puzzle action rpg etc. This should be very interesting. Smile

Right, I mean you could make an arcade game that is a shooter and a platformer. Or like Xeda said on Omnimaga, an rpg that has tcg elements. I would say pick something that fits your needs.

RPG could work if it's a small RPG, but I chose platformer personally. TCG could work too, but as long as it's not like Yu-Gi-Oh with 2000 cards or something.

Are we allowed to do rewrites?

I meant spcifically, can we enter a rewrite of a program we've made in the past. I was planning on rewriting a small BASIC game I made, either in BASIC but better, in Axe, or perhaps, if it's in time, hot dog's new "Correlific"

No, correlific is a new part of correlation, a new interpreter.

If it has been released before, you cant put it in as an entry. I mean if you remade the program using Axe or xlib or something that was far and beyond what the original BASIC version was. I think that would be fine. But I mean it cant be a few optimizations to an old program or something it has to have a lot of effort behind it.
