Oh, phew. I remember a site that took days to send me confirmation e-mails.

I also remember when e-mailing ticalc.org it used to send an auto-responder, but not long before they got rid of them, we would get about 10 when e-mailing ticalc.org once. One auto-responder would be sent every day or so.

Probably because people do that. PHP is supposed to do it automatically these days

I'm not even sure if Ticalc.org uses PHP. I think it uses CGI or Perl. Also the backend coding of the site is so ancient you were probably not even born when it was coded.

I voted Axe.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

I voted Axe.

So do I, a program that allows us to make more programs. And On-Calc Applications? Sweet.

DoorsCS is a good contestant too :D

Thanks! I think my biases are clear, but I think all the contestants are great projects, and I wish all the authors good luck.

Yeah, it was a tough decision and I almost voted for DCS, but Axe won out.

To me it wasn't even close, I had to vote for Axe.  If Axe hadn't have been featured, again it wouldn't have been close, as Doors would have won for me.  Beyond that, it would be hard.

As of right now, I hope the votes for the 2011 POTY are all for Exodus.  Let's make it unanimous! ;D

Lol Ztrumpet :P

Also so many good 2010 programs and some great oldies in there. It was a hard choice to make for me between Doors and Axe, but a lot of the other entries were amazing too. Good luck to everyone!

Axe. If not, I'd've voted for Doors, but then a third of the featured programs are made with Axe...

Just like me!! I think that Axe and Doors together allow me to do ON-CALC programming but Axe is unique and a shell, there are a few and I can always Asm( and download Celtic III and xLib. Since Axe is unique, I'm going for Axe :D
