That seems like a really good idea and I would want to enter. This would also help a lot of people with development time of some games.

well since it has general consensus, which routine to do first? (my preference zelda

)

Why not just do a speed coding one, those are more fun.

I am not sure what you mean...if it is a draw, I will just choose one from the tied options.

threeefingeredguy means a coding contest where you have very very limited amount of time to program something, like 2 days to make a platform engine or any kind and best one win

I would really like platform ^^

Come on peeps... pick the inventory one...

I already have one of the greatest inventory systems ever... ^_^ At least for BASIC anyways... -.-

necro · « **Reply #22 on:** September 13, 2006, 07:20:00 am »

but already created code would not be very useful as you don't have any clue what the specifications will be until I make them.

tifreak · « **Reply #23 on:** September 13, 2006, 07:49:00 am »

With what I have, I can make it flex to whatever situation that is created... Besides, it says "best inventory routine" so

I dont like the idea of a speed contest i have school at minimum i would be able to get something done in 4 or 5 days

necro: DL meant that he thought we were gonna do like a bunch of small contests for each of the routines...and then the winner of the most would win the whole thing...so he just meant that you should pick the first one, and then go onto the next one and the next and the next (I think thats what he meant)

Dragon__lance · « **Reply #26 on:** September 13, 2006, 02:43:00 pm »

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant! It'd kinda be like a speed contest, but more like 3-5 days to code, preferably. Could you specify all the details for the routines?

necro · « **Reply #27 on:** September 13, 2006, 05:15:00 pm »

each routine is different so as to prevent people from re-using code. I can't specifiy which I would choose or any of the details before the game begins as that would encourage people trying to pre-code and stuff. If the first is sucsesful, I will write up the rest all at once...and I would try to make them inter-changeable so a game could be made for instance with a combination of routine 1, 2, and 3 with a certain amount of input and graphics and maps, while substituting one of those routines with another would result in a diffrent game entirely.

Of course, I will have a lot less time starting next week as i will begin working towards my CS accociates degree and my parents say I have to get a job soon.

good luck in your school stuff necro!

as for poll results we need to break the tie

maybe we should start a new poll with those options?

Best inventory routine   [ 2 ]     [20.00%]
Best platform routine    [ 2 ]     [20.00%]
Best movie scripting routine   [ 2 ]     [20.00%]

By speed coding I meant you have 2 hours.
