Axe Contest poll and judging starts
« on: September 16, 2010, 05:36:20 am »
CONTEST DEADLINE REACHED!

Now that Axe Parser programming contest deadline was reached over 4 hours ago, we have scanned all entries to make sure they meet the criterias and after lots of work, they are finally available to public!

There are 13 entries in total. After a slow contest start due to several authors being hindered by data loss, the first entry to have been submitted to the contest was Deep Thought's, on September 10th. Two more entries arrived on the 14th and the rest arrived yesterday, 8 of which arrived within the last 5 hours before the deadline. Here are the entries and authors, below:

-Parsec (_player1537)
-Simul (Deep Thought)
-Blur (FinaleTI)
-Mansion Impossible (guy602665)
-Splut (Ikkerens)
-Heroes Of Might And Magic (LordConiupiter)
-Axe Minesweeper (Michael Lee)
-THEaxeGAMEpack (shmibs)
-Advance Wars TI (SirCmpwn)
-Wacky Fun Random Numbar Generator v1.00000069 (Snake_X)
-Space Dash (squidgetx)
-Axe Platformer Demo (tloz128)
-Jump! (ztrumpet)

The contest judges are me, Builderboy and Quigibo. While we judge the many entries we received, we are running a community survey so that all forum members can vote on their favorite contest entry.

If you are viewing this article from the front page, please click here to access the poll! (You must be a registered member to vote.)

When the poll and judging ends, we will add the results together and determine who wins and announce the final results. The first place winner will win $100 in online gift cards, the second place winner will win $50 in online gift cards and the third place winner $25. The surprise prizes we talked about in the original contest announcment are an higher amount of money on gift cards value and a 3rd place gift card prize. (Without the surprise, it was going to be $75 for first place and $30 for second.)

Good luck to everyone!

You can remove the vote :/
Anyway, Dj, my game isn't open source.

I'll vote in the weekend. Judging by the titles, the software looks promising.

you can change your poll vote if you desire. I cannot change it myself as this would reset the entire poll. As for your entry thanks for informing me. Unfortunately I could not find anything stating in your e-mails/readmes that the entry is supposed to be closed-source and included the source. Fixed now. I also fixed the poll link.

For anyone else who did not want their source included, please PM me on the forums so I can remove it. Only one person has let me know via their submission. As a result, source for the other entries was made public by default.

Yeah, that was my fault.
I once told so on the topic forum, but forgot to note it in my  email.

My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

Anyway,
Neither I nor Quigibo can assure stability of Splut.
I know there are some errors in my game, but those will be fixed upon the actual release.
*Using Splut is at your own risk*

Just sayin' :P

Did you compile it into an App or a program?  It needs to be compiled into an App because of its size, I got it working fine for me! :D

Be aware that many of the games that are source-code-only have very specific compile instructions.  Sometimes they must be compiled as an app, or to a specific shell and sometimes there are multiple files that need to be compiled.  Make sure to read the instructions that the author provides.  If there are no instructions... the author should probably mention them now so as to not confuse anyone.

The minesweeper game works fine for me, make sure you're compiling it as an app.
