yeah im just gonna either start it with the asmprgm and if its good enough enter it in the hybrid one, if it isnt, ill just invert all the rest of the screen so that it has the same effect
Then again, maybe not...

why do you need to invert the screen? couldn't you just make it work without the inverting?

i need to invert the text, not the screen, because the background is black, and im trying to put white text on it, and white text sprites, too
Then again, maybe not...

Inverted games looks cool sometimes. It makes them look more old skool rather than gameboy-ish.

How about some generic help, such as "Go to Newgrounds and try to remake some of their Flash games as your own."

That's what I did with some other Flash game a long while back, though not from that site.

Feel free to delete this post if it infringes on the rules.

well I think this wouldnt really be help to make him choose a game, more a suggestion on how to decide what to make. Actually playing other existing games is the best solution to find ideas IMHO

If allowed, what would a BasicBuilder packaged game be? ??? (I may need a couple programs, unless you teach me about level-making WITH proper collisions, the BasicBuilder Multi-Program thing seems to be working, though.) My entry (maybe) is... text based :'( . I might need BasicBuilder because I use a different method than some complex engines, without filling all the memory. I can't use ASM, so I have no options other than:

A) Use BasicBuilder with the "standard method"

B) Receive a proper level engine



If August is the deadline, I might at least come up with something.

Using BasicBuilder will put an entry into the Hybrid/Asm category.  There's no limit to the number of programs/files an entry can be (you could have 100 subprograms if you wanted) as long as there are directions for installation.  If BasicBuilder must be used, then that indicates an entry is using something beyond the limits of pure Basic (such as the extra pictures or the fact programs would reside in flash), so it would be unfair for it to compete against the Basic entries.

If you think your reasons for using BasicBuilder are legitimate (and are not to exceed the capabilities of pure Basic) please feel free to PM myself or one of the other judges and we can discuss the issue again.

Hmm...
The qualms that this contest stirs...

Can we have a basic concept of how to apply platformers in pseudocode for all the folks out there?
Or is that too much help?

Care to clarify that? If you mean using pseudocode for other language id imagine that would be ok.
That's what she said!!!

Psuedocode. Meaning words for code. Example:

To make a HELLO WORLD program.

//Open program
//Display HELLO WORLD
//End program
