Title: Prizm Contest: Who's participating
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on July 28, 2011, 02:58:37 pm

I was wondering if anyone was planning to pariticipate to the contest? I didn't check the projects section for a while and it seemed most of the Prizm userbase was less active lately, so I was curious who was planning to submit an entry?

I'm not participating, I'm not a PRIZM coder, but I hope some people participate :)

I'm not entering since I don't have a Prism.

What ztrumpet said.  I don't think there will be that many, since its still quite new.

Well I hope there are at least some people lol, though. I would hate to see this contest end up like the United-TI contest a few months ago X.x (they got no entry).

Try to not do something too big at first, though. Start with the essential then add if you have time, that way you can do something in time.

That's in case z80 was working on Crysis O.O

/me hides the Crysis code
yeah no Crysis would be impossible on a Prizm. I don't know what you're talking about  ::)

How could you? ???

Oh well, maybe a ROL1 port. :P But seriously yeah don't go witha  project that is too big lol. (and backup often)

Backups aren't nearly as important with the Prizm as with z80 calcs. The processor is a lot more modern, so it uses error handlers instead of automatic RAM clears. The OS also makes constant flash backups of the upper half of RAM.

That said, keep making backups :P

/me hopes there are still people participating besides Ashbad and that all will be able to submit their entry in time.

 (Also please, no entry with 80 levels, lol. Demo is fine. Judges are in the middle of school, now, and they won't even have time to test more than one or two level :P)

Even more exciting will be the result after the contest (more programmers will likely start coding for it) :).  That would be nice.
