You can kind of copy/paste in Basic

First you create the program COPY
Then you recall the program that has the code in it into COPY
You remove all the excess code from COPY
recall copy to wherever you want

(Yes you can recall programs, its quite useful)

Well... I suppose, but it seems a bit excessive for a replacement of a simple recall  :-\

I originally posted this on TI-Freakware, but I would like Omnimaga members opinions as well. First I just asked in what range are the point values for each category? (0-10? 0-5? etc.)

Then this sentence came to my attention, "...judged by registered Omnimaga members through a closed poll.: This is all well and good, a community-driven poll, I have no problem with that. But I was wondering if anyone else saw it as being possibly problematic. For example, say 50 programs are submitted. Will every person that votes seriously go through and play all those games? It would appear to be a very big commitment. So if one doesn't run through and judge all programs, but still votes, isn't that a little bit biased?

My idea was to just have 2 or 3 trustworthy people, volunteers, (preferably noahboay and DJ_Omnimaga) go through and judge the programs, then submit the best 2 (given the cumulative score) to a closed poll for the community to vote. Or they could just pick the best 1, and label that the winner. In my honest opinion, that seems to be more fair and less biased.

Mhmm now that you mention it, this could be an issue. I personally don't expect that many entries to be submitted, since the only places where the contest was announced are Omnimaga, #omnimaga and TI-BASIC Developper Wiki Forums, but it's still Omnimaga. Because the discussion here are mostly oriented towards calculator games projects rather than general help and discussion and most other places won't give much support toward people projects anymore, the forum managed to remain the 2nd most active TI forum in the entire community even after a 8 months shutdown with the intention to not bring Omni back up. On top of that, each candidates can submit two entries (one in the BASIC category and another in the ASM/libs category). Because of that, now that you bring this up, this could indeed be problematic, especially since the contest will end during a period where most people are doing trips in other countries and going to camping.

I say we do it as planned for now, but if near the end of the contest there's a huge rush of entries, then some designed staff such as myself, noah or whoever desires to judge every programs will do it so we don't risk of having certain entries tried many more times than others.

Of course, when contest is finished, all entries that weren't disqualified for any reason will be posted to public, though.

No it's actually posted on uti and ti-freakware as well and for the issue I was thinking screenshots of every program to help people out.

Well that sounds good DJ_Omnimaga, I like that idea, as well as noahbaby94's idea. Screenshots will be able to help some bit.

So if we used 1 ASM utility that only copied archived programs to RAM (Like Resource) to save space, then it would be considered Hybrid? even if EVERYTHING else was Basic?

Sorry :(  I'm not the authority on this (so I could be mistaken), but from what I've read there's no leeway in that definition for this contest.
