freetz Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hi everyone, the year 2018 hasn't even started yet, but I still wanted open this thread for anyone interested as some of you may already want to start coding (or finishing unfinished) programs for the next contest. I'll post the (only slightly updated) rules on the ABBUC website soon, but here are the key aspects in short: - Deadline is again the 31st of July - The web portal is open from 1 January onwards and submissions have to be made through http://asc.abbuc.de - The coding rules have not changed this year, so it's still possible to submit programs which make use of extensions for the Atari - The only change in the rules limits the possible ways of voting to "just" three, i.e. the online portal, letter or directly at the ABBUC assembly Please feel free to use this thread to present your contributions whenever you are ready. Cheers, F. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gury Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Does Software contest also include utility and application programs again? Will they be separate from games contest or together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetz Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Yes and yes. But there have to be at least three contributions of substantial quality from different authors for the contest to take place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Can you provide a link to the rules and what categories there are? The link above is just about contest submissions and voting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetz Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Our third kid has just been born, so I haven't had time to update the website. However, the rules are the same as the ones last year, except some minor changes in the voting process. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Our third kid has just been born, so I haven't had time to update the website. Well, that's no excuse. However, the rules are the same as the ones last year, except some minor changes in the voting process. Can you provide a link to the rules for the previous year then?

+therealbountybob Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) Anyone want to create a title screen / graphic for my skiing game? The working title "is SKI-IT" with the two idea of the two I's being the skis Perhaps a skier jumping over some logs or fences or something?! Also want a "cheering cround" sound for the end of the race and a "tick tock" clock sound - these can be done in BASIC if that helps Edited April 28, 2018 by therealbountybob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could do the Rasta conversion part if you wanted, but I've never used G2F so someone else would have to load up the Rasta image and fix it in G2F.
