During the previous Cemetech Contest, On Rails, we challenged contestants to make complete train-themed games for a graphing calculators. This contest generated a good amount of interest, and resulted in the production of at least four new calculator games. Cemetech members reviewed these games and decided that Unicorn’s entry “Switch Operator” deserved first place commendation, followed closely by Rico’s “RailMaze” and Kydapoot’s “Railroad Empire.”

For Winter Wonderland, you are challenged to create three programs over the course of four weeks. At the beginning of each week, a keyword will be posted in this thread indicating the theme of that week’s programs. Each program must fit into one of the categories listed below, provided that you have not already submitted a program in that category. Programs must be submitted within 7 days of the weekly keyword posting. You may only submit entries for three out of the four weeks.
