TI-Concours, a french programming contest for 68k/z80
« on: February 11, 2012, 11:13:49 am »
Hello world !
I'd like to announce that the "TI-Concours" (TI-Contest in french) has started last week. :)

What is TI-Concours ?

The TI-Concours is a french contest which was created last year. After a very successful first edition (17 participants, all in high school, only for TI-Basic z80 ! ), this contest has been internationalized and programmers who don't speak french can also participate.
You can't participate if you were born before 1986.

How does it work ?

You can participate with one or several or the following languages :

-> TI-Basic z80
-> Axe
-> TI-Basic 68k

The contest is divided in three parts :

- the first two parts last one week and consist to make the program you are asked to in the best way : you will have instructions to follow, and you will be graded on both the compliance of these instructions and program quality (the first program is a game, and the second one is... something else ;D );
- the last part consists to present on the website one of your projects during 4 weeks, on your personal web page : visitors will be able to watch it and will be able to vote for the program they preferred.

Your score is made in that way : your score for the two first parts * 1 + the number of votes you got * .25 + the score for the last part * 5.

Dates

13/03 to 19/03 : 1st part
27/03 to 02/04 : 2nd part
*holiday time in France*
07/05 to 03/06 : 3rd part

Final results should be given around 16th-17th of June.

Website

The website isn't finished for the moment, still you can subscribe there : http://www.ti-concours.com.
Note that your personal informations won't be published without your authorization.

What can we win ?

Last year the winner (loulou54) won a Nspire CX CAS. Because I had a lot of problems with my DataBase I didn't have time to work for it, your will thus know few days before the beginning of the contest.

Who is judging us ?

I you speak french you can be judge yourself, you just need to subscribe before the end of February.

--------

That's all, I encourage you all to participate, last year I received a lot of good reviews from participants, and I hope this 2nd edition will be as successful ! :D

Noël NADAL.

P.S. : you can see last year's programs here : http://ti-concours.e-monsite.com.

P.S. 2 : I'm not very good in english, sorry if there is some mistakes... ;)

Don't worry for registration, just write your nickname, there is too much useless information to write if you aren't french. x)

1) The first and second part will be imposed subject with a basic list set to complete. These subjects will be given at the last moment (13/03 for the first part, 27/03 for the second). Then If you want have a better rate you need to improved as best as you can but you have to return the program before the deadline (19/03 to the first part, and 02/04 to the second).

2) This third part is just a free project you have to make.

ah. ok.
when we choose TI-BASIC, does it have to be pure TI-BASIC or can we use the small asm utility?

Cool, I might participate, too o.o It depends on if I will have time, though :/ It will probably be TI-BASIC (z80), though ...

I'm still not sure what's going on - you get two projects, then one free project?

according to what I read, the first 2 is challenge: can you make the program that meets certain requirements
and the last one is the free project.

kindermoumoute's explanations are right, once again sorry for my english :-°
The website's english translation still has to be done, I'm now working on it. ;)
TI-Basic is pure TI-Basic, but for Axe hexadecimal codes (do we say this in english ?) may be allowed if you don't use too much.
Xeda -> It'll be cool if you participate ;)

By Axe hexadecimal codes, do you mean like small asm programs?
