The genre of the contest is somewhat open, giving programmers a choice of RPG, side-scroller/platformer, arcade, and puzzle. We will be accepting ASM, BASIC, and C games, and for any calculator model.
Signups start on June 16th, 2006, and will end on July 30th, 2006. Once you are signed up to the contest, you may begin coding. If you want or need to amend your contest entry, you MUST pm us on the forums. The contest itself will end November 30th, 2006.
This contest is meant to be fun for everyone. We will try to keep contest restrictions to a minimum. However, we will request each contestant refrain from releasing any detailed information, source code, or screenshots of the game to the public. You must keep it secret until after the end of the contest.
For more details involving the contest, and/or to sign up, visit the http://tifreakware.calcgames.org/contest/.
If you have any other questions regarding the contest, please send them to [email protected]

Yep... But the faster you sign up, the more time you have to work on your project. ;)
All projects due by Nov 30th.

I worked a little on two new projects, but I didn't sign up yet because I don't know which one I should do. I suppose I can just change my entry though.

At first I wanted to complete Day5 for a Nov30 release, but then I read it must be a new, secret project, and it hit me - oh wait it's a secret :)Thanks for this TIFW!

Also, as far as I know, you can have your contest info changed at any time, you just have to PM an administrator.

Coding style means the code needs to be optimized, after a fashion. No Gotos out of a loop, etc...

Ooo, cool... maybe I'll do something weird and actually submit something!
Speaking of which... their fake news is somewhat... odd...

Will you check to make sure the Goto out of a loop isn't ended with a end so as to create a sub-routine? I sometimes use this technique and want to make sure I'm safe doing so for the contest.

xlibman: I don't think any of the people that has signed up would be hackers since I recognize almost all the names from the ti community, and a few are from the European area, and I think I have seen there names on TI-Bank forums, but I am not sure.
Anyways, this shall still be very fun ^_^
On a side note, I might need to request additional space on the server, to make sure I have enough room for all the entries... O_O
