Wacky Fun Random Numbar Generator wins Axe Parser programming contest
« on: October 11, 2010, 03:45:13 pm »
There were many great Axe programs submitted to Omnimaga Axe Parser contest, but one in particular has managed to push the new Axe programming language beyond anything the judges could ever imagine. Thanks to everyone's patience and participation to the competition and survey, Omnimaga is proud to announce that Wacky Fun Random Numbar Generator v1.00000069 has won the Axe Parser programming contest, leading every other entries with a score of 1041.5 points out of 200 (1004 from judges and 37.5 from the survey)!

It came on the TI-86. It was ported to TI-83 Plus ASM. While it was ported to the TI-80 and TI-73, it eventually made its way on the TI-Nspire platform, both in C and BASIC, the latter also being by Snake_X. Now Snake_X has brought us by far the best Axe Parser achievement in existence, which drew so much attention from the gaming community that it brought us to 1 million page requests for the first time in Omnimaga existence, last month, with a total of 375679 downloads for this contest entry alone (the second most downloaded entry being Heroes of Might and Magic, with 139 downloads). This version, despite occasionally causing some RAM clears, remains true to the original.

As a reward for starting a new revolution in TI history, Snake_X has been awarded the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes for the contest. In addition to that, he will win four tickets for one of Justin Bieber Tour show, as well as Justin Bieber's entire discography for the next 5 years. 30% of the show profits will be given to Texas Instruments for future calculator development and the rest will be given to help the lobster industry.

With this new version of this ticalc.org classic, Microsoft also expressed interest in porting the game to the Xbox Live Arcade and Sony also expressed interests for a PSN downloadable version. Apple, however, plans to use the program for future OS developments.

Btw, this entry final score was 1000 out of 100 points. Due to the usage of 1 byte signed integers in scoring, its score of -5/20 in everything looped back to 251/20, giving a total score of 1004 out of 100 :P

j/k, but there's something I will reveal to those who don't use IRC: we went close to having two WFRNG clones for the contest, one other by Calcdude84se. :P
* DJ Omnimaga will most likely be busy this evening while he prepares the real contest results news article :P

A must download.  I've played it so much that I simply am addicted to it and have made it to level 102 as a red mage :P

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.
