Title: Another PRIZM contest: Make a BASIC game or tool in 2 days!
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 24, 2012, 06:16:57 pm
Planète-Casio is starting a new 48 hour Casio Programming Contest. This one is for the Casio PRIZM and you must use BASIC as programming language. You must make a game or a tool.

The chosen theme is movement. You only have 48 hours (2 days) to create your game or programming tool. The deadline in GMT-5 is Sunday February 26th 2012 at 5:59 PM and in France time (GMT+1) it is Sunday February 26th 2012 at 11:59 PM. You must submit your program here (http://www.planet-casio.com/Fr/programmes/soumettre_un_programme_casio.php?calc=-1) before that deadline (the most up to date version of your program is the one taken into account)!

The program must contain a minimum of 2 colors. Black and white do not count as such.

Your program must be in French or English.

The maximal size of the file is 550 Kb. The programs have to be under format g3r or g3m, contained in an archive (zip or rar) if there are many.

This contest is open to everybody, whatever your level or your age, as long as you register on Planète-Casio website and provide an e-mail address.

Any breach in rules will result the disqualification of the participant.

Scoring Criteria:
 - Quality of code, programming, bugs: 3 pts
 - Originality: 3 pts
 - Graphics and presentation: 2 pts
 - Gameplay and ergonomics: 2 pts

The game will be tested on Fx-CG 20 with OS version 1.03 (link (http://edu.casio.com/products/cg_soft/cg_agreement.html)).

To win: One Fx-9860gII (Graph 75) provided by PC's sponsor Casio Education.

For shipping costs reasons, the prize will only be shipped within the European Union (Norway, Switzerland and Luxembourg included).

Have fun!

Regrettably I won't be doing this :( all though it seems fun :) I just don't have enough time to make anything winnable :P

By the way TBO, have you figured out PRIZM text wrapping with strings yet?

methinks that it would be possible to use StrLen()
check if the string is longer than the distance between the start of the string and the end of the screen(I suck at explaining stuff), and if it is, continue displaying the string in the next row

I guess for the prize, if someone in Europe is willing to ship the calc to you and you trust him you can always get it shipped to him then he ship it to you.

I live in the USA so I decided to try this just for the challenge and not to get a prize. Therefore I didn't submit it at CP because I didn't want to confuse the judges.

Anyway, here it is! (More refined -- and larger -- version coming soon!)

He can submit it to the contest even if he posted it publicly here before? I know the Omni/Cemetech contests usually don't allow this, but maybe it's different for this contest.

I'll probably try it later. I'm curious about how much people will be able to do in 2 days actually :D

Looks like a real fun game though I'd like highscores :P All around its great lots of fun for when the teacher gets boring I mean when I'm bored at home and have finished hw :P

the only problem I found was that it does not always respond when you press the arrows to move. If that could be fixed it would be a lot more fun

I can probably fix the key problem through optimizing, etc.

I'll do Hi scores with matrixes or lists.

Title: Re: Another PRIZM contest: Make a BASIC game or tool in 2 days!
Post by: Yeong on February 25, 2012, 08:57:15 pm
also, try to utilize => (JUMP F3) as much as possible.
The syntax is:
Condition=>Condition if true[:Condition of false]

yes that is one of the reasons why I am not planning on participating :( I'm on college visits and won't have as much time to perfect much, but Good Luck to those who do paricipate

Post by: Yeong on February 25, 2012, 09:09:48 pm
for example:
A=3:Goto 1:Goto 2

If A=3, it jumps to lbl 1. otherwise, it jumps to lbl 2.
Title: Re: Another PRIZM contest: Make a BASIC game or tool in 2 days!
Post by: saintrunner on February 25, 2012, 09:11:39 pm
So A=3=>goto 1:goto 2
          ^^  with the => key after the condition? aaah this will help a ton thanks :)
Title: Re: Another PRIZM contest: Make a BASIC game or tool in 2 days!
Post by: Yeong on February 25, 2012, 09:12:40 pm
yes. it's much better than simple If/Else stuff. :D

Post by: saintrunner on February 25, 2012, 09:14:01 pm
how is that text wrapping coming? do you understand all the str( choices? like left right mid (I'm assuming is for string location) and the other things?
Title: Re: Another PRIZM contest: Make a BASIC game or tool in 2 days!
Post by: Yeong on February 25, 2012, 09:14:42 pm
What I do understand is StrMid(.
It works just like sub( in TI-BASIC! :D
Title: Re: Another PRIZM contest: Make a BASIC game or tool in 2 days!
Post by: saintrunner on February 25, 2012, 09:15:41 pm
ok cool thanks :) that was what I was mainly wondering about, where the sub command was, or more so what it was
Title: Re: Another PRIZM contest: Make a BASIC game or tool in 2 days!
Post by: Yeong on February 25, 2012, 09:16:23 pm
also, you can't do Str1=Str2.
You have to do StrCmp(Str1,Str2)
It returns negative number if they're not equal.
Title: Re: Another PRIZM contest: Make a BASIC game or tool in 2 days!
Post by: LincolnB on February 25, 2012, 09:21:54 pm
This is a really good idea, like Ludum Dare if any of you know of it. Maybe we could do something similar, but for Axe game making?

Thank you guys, with you we have 9 entries, for a programming competition on 48h, it's exceptional.
Your games were linked on the official topic (http://www.planet-casio.com/Fr/forums/lecture_sujet.php?id=11160) of this second 48h CPC.
Results will be given in 1 or 2 weeks max.

About the deadline, I made Gravity Duck (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggUt390bmAo) for the first 48h Casio Programming Contest ;)

Wow awesome. I'll give them a try if I have some time later. I have been kinda busy dealing with the old Omnimaga board merge/conversion to SMF and testing the Cemetech entries. Good luck to everyone :D

And it's amazing how you made an entire add-in in 48 hours O.O

The level on Planet-Casio is very high ^^

I have fun to test your programs. I found School Escape pretty special, why i had to leave school ?

Post by: Yeong on March 11, 2012, 03:30:47 pm
well, there was no reason. You just had to because you were told in the game. :D
48hrs in not enough for developing good storyline. XD
Also, the game was meant to be kinda "WTF? I died for random reason!" stuff, which is basically simple comedy value.

Yes, your game was very "WTF, why i die for this reason ?". Try to improve School Escape with a story and a little less linearity ;)

idk if I mentioned it somewhere or not, but school escape was the "port" of my first calc game programmed.
I ported the first one (there was 13 of them :P) since I didn't have enough time (and I'm busy most of the times.)
I think it was school escape 9, and that one was actually freakin long (26 floors) with no continues.
