I want to run a super-quick competition. I'm talking about 1-hour long. The restriction is: You may only have 1 source file as your entry. That is, there are no other files allowed. You have to generate images and other media (you may load _FILE_), and give compilation instructions as a comment in the code. I put up a quick page to give a countdown here: http://cgamesplay.com/minorhack/ Please participate if you are bored and have an hour to spare [append] -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

Does it have to be allegro? And why post here? ------------ |

Yes, Allegro, and post here because that is how we compare entries, of course -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

No, no, I mean why post in Programming Questions? I don't have allegro on me at the moment, but I could do a pure C program. ------------ |

Pure C in console? Well, if you can do something interesting, go for it Programming Questions because it felt most appropriate... It's not design, and it's more on-topic than most off-topic threads. So yes. [append] -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

Quote: By the way, you know allegro.cc has precompiled binaries, right?
Yeah, thing is I'm at work. We have linux servers, so we got the whole gcc setup, so pure C is the only way for me atm. Why I'd be participating whilst at work is a topic for another day... ------------ |

Well if you want to draw up a quick text adventure over lunch or something, it'd be good in my book. Just don't use platform-specific thingies Yeah, I'm scrambling to get soem work done now so I can take a slightly-longer-than-normal lunch to do this in -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

I'm also in, though I don't think an hour is long enough for me but I will try. "Stupidity isn't punishable by death. If it was, there would be a hell of a population drop." -Anita Blake: PSN: leogorerd |

Not a whole game, a crappy thing you throw together really fast mh.win.zip - A fun game I coded between 11 p.m. December 31, 2005 and 2006. I just wanted to copyright something 2005. -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

You could do a pong / breakout game in an hour. Snake is another good one. |

You're in then? Good, it will be refreshing playing a text adventure Or better, a C-style-IO text action game. Those are tricky -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

I would do a 2 line MMORPG. printf("Go out of your parent's house, take a good look at the big shiny ball called "the sun" and interact with other players/NPC"); I only ask for a 30€ monthly fee ___________________________________ piccolo: "soon all new 2d alegro games will be better. after i finsh my MMRPG. my game will serve as a code reference. so you can understand and grab code from." |
