I guess you mean just the 14 Atari titles, because this year there were 146 entries in total for all the 8bit machines, and that would be a very long show ? 8 minutes per game for a two hours show seems good for those 14 titles. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMSDOS Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 No, I meant every game, though I would simply present an overview of each game for 1 minute, while presenting a bit of the action. I have never made a 10-Liner game which lasted for 8 minutes and I think some of them would be struggling to make the minute mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preppie Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) Made a little routine for moving enemies around, maybe the start of a 2022 10liner Edited September 13, 2021 by Preppie 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the HSC, we took a stab at the A8 games from 2019. I played through 15 of those (some not published, some not really games) and my play time ranged from 1-13 minutes per game with an average of 4.5 minutes. That was not play testing, but to really try to set some scores. But even limiting yourself to 1 minuter per game with nearly 150 go through would make the stream 2.5 hours long plus time to switch between emulators etc, probably closer to 3 hours if you happen to find some game that deserves a longer play.

It is doable, but not LIVE. This is more like an EDITED REVIEW of the contest entries, commenting an overview of the game while showing the best part of it. BTW, it was really a shame that @skr couldn't do the live review of the entries that where in the podium this year.

Some of my games have a time limit, other became hard to beat after a couple of minutes, but there are many that behave like an endless runner, and a few ones that can take the whole day to play a single game (like The Children).

AMSDOS Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Nobody watches things Live these days (at least not here), so I was referring to it being a fully edited 1 minute presentation of each game from the BASIC 10-Liners 2021, if that's too many, then perhaps a look at the games which didn't rate highly? I'm somewhat Biased though because my game scored poorly this year, it lacked Sound and I changed the controls because my earlier games we too responsive, though it did everything I wanted it, I guess it wasn't challenging enough. I could adapt the code I made from 'Pick a Path Red' to move the scenery and have a Boucing Ball, boucing between the walls and avoiding certain coloured walls, which would make for a more challenging game.

Preppie Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Last 2 years I didn't start coding 'till the event was announced, getting in a few early jabs this time May not come to anything, but it's a fun little routine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 I was thinking about Nebulus/Tower Toppler (and various other names used on the NES/Famicom ports). FastBASIC really is amazing. Fortunately it doesn't fit the PUR-80 category, so other formats still have a chance of winning that category.

OxC0FFEE Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I'm looking forward to the 2022 Basic 10 Liner contest. My current struggle is figuring out which one or several of my ideas is good enough to give it a shot. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current struggle is figuring out which one or several of my ideas is good enough to give it a shot. My guess would be that the 2022 BASIC 10 Liner contests deadline will be the NOMAM meeting in April. (8th - 10th) That would give you just under three months to try something. Why not try out a couple and see which one(s) lead to something? Sincerely Mathy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vitoco Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I just found that 2022 contest is open. https://gkanold.wixsite.com/homeputerium Deadline is March 26. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMSDOS Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Yes since Tuesday, the Rules have also altered slightly from Last Years contest and I think people can also wish to have their entry withheld until after the due date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitoco Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 6 hours ago, AMSDOS said: I think people can also wish to have their entry withheld until after the due date. From the contest page: Quote There is a change in the presentation. A detailed overview of the submitted programs can be found at bunsen.itch.io. The information is presented in a reduced form on the homepage. Every programmer can choose whether the program is published immediately or only after the deadline I think that all the entries will be shown in the contest page when they are received by Bunsen. What could be chosen to be delayed is the publication of it at the site bunsen.itch.io, where all the entries are published in detail, downloadable, with instructions and source listing. Quote 3. Programs may be compiled (source must still be submitted) This new rule allows crosscompiled programs, but also allows slow programs to be interesting to play. Somehow, I feel that now I can submit a FastBasic XEX without blushing, even though I've always sent the 10 lines of source code and the FastBasic IDE to load it, parse it and run. Quote 10. The program must be listable (The LIST command must produce a readable program listing) Even though there is no LIST command in FastBasic (you can edit your code in its built-in text editor), you can expand abbreviated source listing using option "-l" of the crosscompiler. The remaining changes just make more explicit how to send an entry, specially for systems that might not be known by the panel of judges (not experts on every platform/emulator). The categories are the usual 3 ones and WILD for other programs. Now, I have to think in new ideas to submit in Atari BASIC for the PUR-80 category.
