This year our contest is about what makes gaming on the calculator fun. That means simple games that make you want to go back and play over and over again. Not because they are technically challenging or visually the most interesting, but because the concept makes the game stand out as an enjoyable item to have on your calculator. For this contest, we are focusing on the TI-83+ series (TI-83+/SE,TI-84+/SE). Please see below for the list of categories.
We have 2 categories this year:- 1. BASIC
- 2. Axe/Assembly/Hybrid BASIC
Contestants should email their entries to O M N I M A G A 2 0 1 3 @gmail.com by November 5th 2013, 12:00 AM UTC-5. Please remember to include a readme file with your entry and instructions on how to play your game. Also remember to include information on any libraries that may be needed in order to run your game.

So people were having issues with telling what style programs we are looking for so I figure I would add screenies and links to some games that fit the description. Now this isn't saying there would make good entries its just the style of game play we are looking for. so here you all go
