I was wondering if anyone was planning to pariticipate to the contest? I didn't check the projects section for a while and it seemed most of the Nspire userbase vanished lately, so I was curious who was planning to submit an entry?
-
I wanted to participate, but then again, it's only two weeks left, it's not enough to make an entry.
-
I really would like to submit something, but I don't know if I'll be able to finish it on time :/
I have lots of work at my home, and still need to study :(

Study? It's July. Well, good luck with your house and your studies :) I'm sure the guys from nspire-lua will all participate (hope...)
-
Maybe he got school 12 months per year in his area or he has summer classes.
And yeah I hope they participate. I mean in Europe (from experience on forums in the past few years) typically most people don't care enough about calculators to post on calc forums during vacations, let alone program for calcs then, so as a result, almost our entire european Nspire userbase is gone and TI-BANK is very very quiet.

Jim Bauwens doesn't go to school, he studies at home and takes exams.
But yeah it's the French guys I hope participate :)

I'm from Europe and i care enough abouth calcs to keep programming them and posting on calc forums during summer
But I won't be participating becouse i don't have an nspire (I never even saw one IRL, actually)
-
Oh right I forgot he was studying at home. And Ben_g nice to hear. I just noticed a lot of the people from there vanishes during Summer. Example: Hoffa, Wierden, Compu and Levak hardly ever post anymore now and people such as Adriweb are hardly active either.
-
I think pianoman is. I still haven't learned lua yet...
-
Just saw this. I am :D
-
Well, I don't think I will participate, because I'm at my grandparents house, and I did not bring my calc...
When I'll go back home, It will only remain one week.
-
You can make a great game in a short amount of time. I started my entry to Omnimaga's Axe contest last year less than 8 hours before the deadline and still placed 5th. I'm pretty sure you could make something awesome in just a week. :)

one week is more than enough. Look at sirCmpwn's contest entry ;)
-
True, and it can be a smaller game too. It doesn't have to be to the same extent as Bobby Carrot.
-

It's just that I was away during my summer break :)
Don't worry, I'm back now :)
-
Good!
Hope you will have some more Lua fun :)
-
Oh good already two people are participating at least, but then again, some people that don't come to this topic will also like the French guys :)
-
Can I submit my Music Composer for the contest ?
:P
(meh, it's not really a game, nevermind)
Who knows if I will have time to do something before school starts...
-
Well, the rules do say it has to be a game, and the fact that it requires custom external hardware (not just using an adapter like on 8x calcs) means that unfortunately, it will most likely not get accepted. You could try making a simple game that has sound but is not required to play the game, though.
-
Yeah true. It could be like MTVMG where you can create music, but have a jam sessions game or something. It would have to focus more on the game, though, so people can easily find it and play, and the game would need some ways to win/die or close, so it's not just a beatbox.
-
Hey, you misspelled my name :<
I still follow the projects section, but my motivation is really low at the moment.
At least, there will be a little contest entry from my side.
-
I don't have an Nspire, and I don't know Lua, but what the heck. I'm joining :D
We're allowed to join multiple contests, right?

Yes we are, good luck Deep XD

I realized that I haven't said I am participating here yet, so yes, I am participating. My thread, if you haven't seen it:

I'll have to check those entries. I didn't with the 8x ones except for trying them when contest judging started. X.x
I'm glad some people are participating to this one too.
-
It's a good thing that we have Lua, as ATM I am the only one using C in my contest entry. (Then again, that would mean I win the contest >:D)
-
Hmm, I think you can make Lua games that out perform C games ;)
Its just a matter of picking the right one, and spending lots of work on it.

Haha, i thought exactly the same :P
-
Nice to see more people participating :)
-
Sent it in w00t!
-
hmm, i wonder if i can figure out lua in time...
what tools did you use to make yours, dt? i don't have an nspire either :P
-
Basically just this: http://www.inspired-lua.org/2011/05/2-setting-lua-environnement-with-the-preliminary-scripting-tool/
And nspire_emu for a more realistic run.
-
Alrighty, changed my vote to yes.
If all goes well I'll be finished in time :)
-
Going to make a random project during 2 days ...
-
Finished \o/

Newegg gift card looks very tempting. It would mean I can finally upgrade to a graphics card that can actually play StarCraft II at at least the lowest settings. Then I can finally learn how to play (even if it means I have to use the Starter Edition).
If I have time and the deadline is still ~37 hours from now, I might whip up something real quick.
-
Hmm if you ever get Starcraft II you should PM me your screenname/code so maybe we can play ;D (although with starter edition it can be harder to form teams, like in the original Starcraft game lobbies).
Good luck if you work on something :)
As for gift cards, Omni often went with such thing before because of our younger userbase in general. Most parents have control on what comes into the mail or what people here do with their money, and as a result of internet security paranoia, they'll freak out if they discover their kid received a prize from the Internet. In fact, Builderboy had to get his 2009 prize to Bwang because his parents didn't know he did calc stuff and didn't want him to go on calc forums.
-
Would it be possible to also have the choice of a prepaid credit card as a prize?

Ouch, that sucks (what his parents did), but at least he got the prize :)

I don't know, but I think they want to limit it to online stores really. I might be wrong, though.
Also, we're 1 day away from the end of the contest! :w00t:

Well, those can be used online at basically anywhere that accepts the prepaid card provider (visa, amex, etc.), and the card number can be sent online if someone doesn't want their parents seeing them get a physical card in the mail.
Also, we're 1 day away from the end of the contest! :w00t:
IKR, that time has gone by so fast!
It's crunch time for me.
-
Meh, I really need to hurry >.>
My problem is that the computer software shows stuff different then on-calc :/
So its hard to make it good for the CX, if you don't know how it will look.
-
I finally managed to finish my entry, even if I don't really hope to win, since my game is really basic...
This is a FreeCell game, written entirely on-calc in 3 days (OCLua for code and nSpaint for images).
Tomorrow, I'll go on holiday and I won't be able to go to Internet for 2 weeks, so I really had to finish that today. (It's almost midnight in France...)
-
Just sent mine in. Not that great, and not "Easy Game," but at least there'll be one more (Ndless) entry (so Ndless won't feel so underutilized). At this rate, we might have as many, if not more entries than the Axe contest!
All of these Lua entries are pretty amazing. Kind of makes me with I had a CX to try these out.
-
@SolusIpse: What are you making? So far you and I are the only ones with Ndless entries.

Yay, more variety is good :)All of these Lua entries are pretty amazing. Kind of makes me with I had a CX to try these out.
No need for a CX; any Nspire with an OS greater than 3.0 will do. Or you could even try them online on TI's Document Player.

It's just a a simple mini game (with buggy physics) that was inspired by Dimension Shift and Darl's other minigames.
I haven't sat down and actually used C for years so it's pretty poorly written and unoptimized. I ended up brute-forcing a lot of things just to make it work. Just put in a couple hours of relearning C and figuring out the Ndless SDK to write a first (and probably last) contribution to the community. It would have been faster if I knew Lua and just used Lua, but I've never used a scripting language before.
So no, it is not an uber awesome grayscale raycaster with variable height walls and the ability to look up and down. And it's not SirCmpwn's "Easy Game." It's closer to Levak's and ephan's entry, but no sound.
Lol, I actualy don't even own a calculator so I don't know if it actually works outside of emulating it on a nspire_emu with OS 2.01 and clickpad.

Does it emulate the sound? That's what will really sway my vote.
-
Wow, that's awesome you're developing for a calc you don't even own. :D Just make sure the key layouts would make sense on real hardware.
