CAGE MATCHES

Have you the nerve to try?
Have you the need for speed?
Can you crank out quality code in no time at all?

Put your reputation on the line and step up to the plate.
This, good sirs, is the true test of coding.
Hello, Omnimagician. Welcome to the Cage Matches.
This is where your mettle will be pitted again another strong competitor whose wants to prove his worth as well.
The rules of this are simple: Make a game of said theme within the time limit.

For starters, you must send me a PM with your programming languages so I can add you to the roster.

Every (other) week, starting in October, two random people will be the contestants for that Cage Match.
A contestant has exactly 24 hours to reply. If a contestant does not reply, another contestant will be picked.
When both contestants have done so, the deadline is set a week or two from the top of the hour.
(Top of the hour means that if the PM is replied to at 8:23, the deadline is a week from now at 9. All times are in CDT (GMT -5.)).
The theme will be picked at random.
The language will be picked at random.
If the language is C or ASM, some code must be sent inside of the PM to assure that a contestant isn't over his head.
The result of the contest will be based a poll that the community votes on. (I will also be casting my vote.)
The winner gets fame, prestige, and a userbar.

That is all.

Make the very best game you can think of in exactly 30 days.

Rules:

*This must be for the TI-83+.
*There cannot be a shred of Hybrid BASIC.
*No Axe subroutines.
*No ASM (unless it is on this page). Yes, I know that there is a loophole there.
*No late entries.
*No exceptions. At all.
*Submit to me ([email protected]) <- reverse the 'moc'.
*You cannot vote for your own entry.

Protips:
*Try not to make clones of other games.
*IF YOU SUBMIT A WRFNG PROGRAM, I WILL STAB YOU.

Same rules apply as well. This starts when over 50% of the people accept after the 20th.

Builderboy:
* Builderboy puts on tipless gloves *
* Builderboy takes out stainless steel 84SE *
* Builderboy puts on rimless shades *

meishe91:
* Meishe91 puts on a Ash Ketchum hat, turns it backwards and throws a pokeb...
Oh wait, wrong place...

* Meishe91 puts on a Rick Astley trench coat, shades that say "The" on one side and "Game" on the other, and starts eating his bag of peanuts.

DJ Omnimaga:
I don't think this topic was posted in Randomness Builderboy and Meishe91 <.<.

Sounds cool. I doubt I'll be able to contribute much but I wonder how it will goes. It would be nice to have some small contests from time to time.

meishe91:
Well there isn't exactly a lot we can say until he gets rules posted, so we are just prepping ourselves ;) Haha just kidding.

In all seriousness though, this really is a good idea I think. It will be good learning experiences and such too.
