vidak Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 - I started this thread in Contests, but that whole sub-forum is dead. I figured maybe this might be a good place to announce this idea. Okay. I got $250AUD for my birthday. This is the first discretionary spending money I've had since June last year. I was going to build something cool like a raspberry pi cell phone or build a homebrew 6502 computer. But it has all been done before. I always say I wanna give back to AtariAge because it has helped me combat my depression and psychosis, and has helped me develop as a person. I wanna use this prize money to stage a competition - is this allowed? Is this a good idea to promote activity on AtariAge? I am an ASM 2600 programmer, so my natural idea was to promote 2600 homebrew development - but I know there is a lot of 7800, Intellivision, and other consoles being developed for. I feel like it might be more fair to allow the competition to be a multi-platform contest. What do you think? If it was just 2600, I would put equal parts of the 250 towards dual first prizes for ASM and batariBASIC first prizes. What would be a good set of rules for a possible contest?

+DZ-Jay Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 We just started an Intellivision programming contest, you may want to take a look at how we do it. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/274391-intybasic-programming-contest-rules/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
