No poll this time. You must review and choose.

NOTE: I took mine out after seeing FinaleTI's.
Bug me about my book.

Seriously? Only two people entered anything!?  I can't wait for lunch break so I can try these out.
My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

Darn I am disappointed at how many people ditched their entry. I wish at least they entered a demo or something. That kind of stuff always makes me feel relunctant about doing a 2011 Axe contest.

Also Raylin could you post your entry anyway even if it's no longer participating? I would like to try it too. I'll download the other two now.

Axe contest? sounds cool! I would participate for sure!
I'm not a nerd but I pretend:

Yeah it would be like last year, although I am unsure when it would start. It would most likely be a similar deadline as the other, though.

Btw, I tried the Zadoth game and it's kinda cool and quite challenging at first, but then I found a glitch that allowed me to survive forever until I decide to let myself die. I scored 9818. O.O

Btw who made that Zombie game? ???

EDIT: I just tried FinaleTI's entry and it looks great, but there were two issues: Game was extremly slow outside battles (it took 3 seconds to render the character) and I got plenty of ERR:INVALID DIM everywhere, forcing me to reinstall the game over and over. :/

Huh. The ERR:INVALID DIM thing is something I didn't expect. I thought the problem would be more with memory errors.
Could you tell me where you encountered the errors?

My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.

I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

When walking and after selecting Attack in battle. During walking the error happened randomly while moving.

I'll be releasing my discontinued entry soon, after I work out a few bugs.

I'm sure an Axe contest would be much more popular than a TI-Basic one.

Also, I tried FinaleTI's and so many files to archive, I'll do it later.

I think the reason so many dropped out is because with school going on right now nobody had a lot of time to work on entries, especially in TI-BASIC since they can take a lot more concentration to crank out good speeds and such. That's why I couldn't anyways. I think if this had been done during the summer there would have been much more entries.

But I'll have to try these out later when I get a chance and cast my opinion. I'm really looking forward to Finale's since I know what it was looking like :) Good luck you two.

ZaDoth:

Game concept/originality: Great concept 9/10
Ease of use: 5/10 Although speed was good, in several places key presses did not respond at all, which basically led to me dying. Additionally, I couldn't quite figure out TNT. Also when you died you had to press right or something to properly restart which was annoying...
Graphics: ASCII is acceptable by BASIC standards: 7.5/10
Overall: 21.5/30: Interesting puzzle/reflex concept that had me excited as I started the game. Unfortunately some buggy gameplay sort of ruined it. This would be amazing if ported to Axe with a scrolling map :o

FMA:
Game concept/originality: It's an RPG, plus I love FMA 9/10
Ease of use: 3/10 I couldn't get this to work at all :(. Wabbit would give me ERR UNDEFINED's since Windows can't extract the statvar-pics properly, and I couldn't get enough RAM free on real hardware. Other bugs people have reported in addition to the slow rendering times seen in the screenies have also influenced this rating.
Graphics: 9.5/10 amazing!!! Only reason it's not 10/10 is because of the slow char render times...
Overall: 21.5/30: It probably would have been epic if I had less programs taking up VAT space in my calculator...

So...I guess it's a tie then for me. :P I actually didn't plan that at all. Great. Now I have to actually decide....

Glad you liked it, :)

I was actually thinking of doing a much better axe version. my first one had regenning dirt :P and only TNT.

Anyone want a nice screenie of the final?

Here's one

BTW zombies only move once every 2-3 (Dont remember) :P turns you can move/place. emphasis on can. they move crazy fast without the limit.

Wow. I didn't expect my game to be that buggy for everyone...
I'll try to make a hybrid version(at the very least I'll use XCOPY or CopyProg) so that it's more playable.
