For those who haven't noticed on TI-Planet and Inspired-Lua, they are currently running a TI-Nspire Lua contest, affiliated with Jarrety store, and the deadline recently got extended to November 7th. There are 3 TI-Nspire CX CAS prizes to win! You only have to create a Lua program for TI-Nspire in connection with one of these three categories:

To participate you must write a TI-Nspire Lua program that matches one of the following categories: Mathematics, Physics/Chemistry or Games. Only one program can be submitted. You need OS 3.0.1 or higher (preferably 3.0.2) to participate. Also, the contest is now open to the entire world instead of just France, although if your program contains text, make sure it is useable by someone who mainly speaks French.

More information about the contest can be found at the following links:
-Official contest page on Inspired-Lua (English and French)
-TI-Planet topic (French)
-Contest rules (French)


Besides this contest, there is a new z80 one that recently started on yAronet Z80 TI board. It is called zContest 2011. From 2006 to 2008 that forum ran zContest, but then it got discontinued. We are happy to announce it was finally revived 3 years later. It is also open worldwide and there are 3 categories: Pure TI-BASIC, hybrid TI-BASIC/Axe/BBC Basic and ASM. A game must be programmed.

For the prizes, the programmer that comes first in a category then wins against the other two first place programs will win a TI-Nspire CAS CX. The two other first place winners will get a TI-84 Pocket.Fr and the second place winners of each category will win a TI-76.Fr!

This contest is affiliated with TSPromotion. More info on how to participate are located below:

It seems a lot of Omni ones did so far, seeing their forum and also here.

I was supposed to enter Illusiat 13: The Final Chapter for zContest 2009, but they never started one :'(

I think 82 games are competing against 83+ ones, though.

darn it. I wish it was a separate grading

Nice. Also I hope they announce their entry on forums so more people can give them feedback, providing of course they announce them within the contest rules. I also hope they don't wait at the last minute to work on them.

Btw are the rules in the PDF also available in English?

zContest looks interesting!  There is a small sliver of hope that I might enter! 

I just have seen this topic...
And I've posted another topic here : http://ourl.ca/13269/247501;topicseen#new

DJ_O: Should I delete the other topic?
(maybe not because this topic is not dedicated...?)

There's _at least_ 2 winners by category... (and I'm looking for more prizes currently :p).

But technical challenge is a part of the grading

You talk about asm 82 game?
It looks interesting because 82 asm is slightly different of 83 asm which is slightly different of 83+/84+ asm.
And 82 speed is limited, technical challenge is bigger

More prizes? Soon everybody who enters gets something.

Maybe TI-84+SE with OS 2.71 installed?
