Go Ndless!  Nothing else would be possible without it (except WFRNG :P)!

Voted Ndless, since it allowed every other features to happen (and a Nspire poll)

idk yet, I'm tempted to votee for gbc4nspire since its developement started before Ndless was released, so calc84 had to do it without the help of Ndless, but Ndless did enable all that...
the good thing is, Omni is surely gonna get atleast 2 POTYs, since we have all of the Nspire features (if you count Ndless ours, since ExtendeD is staff), and a lopt of 84, including Axe.

I hadn't seen it from that point. Lots of so-called 'Omnimaga Projects' are very likely to win :)

I don't actually remember which one I voted for. I think it was gbc4nspire.

Ndless. Practically everything else revolves around it, just like Axe.

Yeah Ndless stands a great chance, but I am sure some stuff like gbc4nspire will also get a bunch of votes. gbc4nspire development was started before Ndless came out and the emulator was released the day after Ndless came out. As a result, it has some chances. Nleash has some too since it unlocked the anti-downgrade protections.

I had to vote for GBC4Nspire. I know Ndless allowed it to be able to work, but damn... GBC4Nspire was developed (as other have said) *BEFORE* Ndless was out and before much info on programming the Nspire was even available. Mad props to Calc84 for his ambition and accomplishment. Ndless of course, was also fantastic as none of these programs would even be functional without it and I'm sure tremendous amounts of work and countless hours went into it's development.

gbc4nspire, for aforementioned reasons

I voted Ndless, because of what it has enabled.
Although for your typical end-user, gbc4nspire might be more noticeable, since unlike Ndless (which sits quietly in the background working hard), gbc4nspire is quite entertaining :)

I believe that ndless will win because most people are not aware of gbc4nspire history :S

Yeah I think it has great chances. We never know, though. SOme gamers won't realize what made those games possible so they'll vote for games or emulators instead. If someone released Super Mario Bros or Zelda for the Nspire, it would most likely win, even if it was just a port of one of the NES games.

Also just to tell at which point some people quickly download stuff without reading, gbc4nspire would have more chances to win if it was called "Game Boy Color Emulator" instead of "gbc4nspire". -.-

I think ndless has a very high chance of winning ^^ unless we have hundreds of students who play gameboy on the nspire and chose that instead o.O

I think if the trend continues, there won't be that many votes from random students who never posted anywhere else, though. When I check POTY surveys from the past years, they generally don't get that many votes either. Last year the highest voted entry for the 83+ got 39 votes. However, if the many program releases in the last 1.5 years attracted new members there, maybe they'll get more votes.
