First of all:
Happy New Twenty Fourteen
Note 1: This contest is not in Omnimaga Staff's opinion ( in other words not official) and therefore Omnimaga Staff is not to be held responsible for any misunderstanding on the user's part.
Note 2: Read throughly once at least before starting
It has been a long time since the nSpire and its brothers came out. During this time, many languages have become available:
• Basic
• Assembly
• Lua
In the long run, Assembly and Lua have outrun Basic and left it far behind. Yet Assembly is not official for nSpire. So today ( Jan 1, 2014) we start the new year with a contest for programming only in official languages.
Rules
• Although the contest starts today (Jan 1, 2014), entries can be submitted that started after December 15, 2013
• The contest is divided into three categories
• The projects should be in by Jan 31, 2014
Note3: It is not required that the program is complete;functionality is the main concern;entertainment in the case of games
• THIS RULE APPLIES ONLY FOR THOSE WHO STARTED BEFORE JAN 1, 2014:
You have to remove the download link from your topic until nomination/ rejection. Do leave a note for the removal of the link
• You are allowed to have a topic for the project, but should not have any download file. (Screenshots allowed)
• More than one program allowed
How to submit
When you are done programming, PM the document to me with the following details:
• Your screen name
• Document name
• Document size
• Category
• Date of beginning
• Percentage complete when submitting
• If started before Jan 1, tell the percentage complete on Jan 1
• Topic link (if any)
Note 4:Once you send me the PM no changes can be made and your first PM for the document will be final.
Note 5:Each PM should contain only one program, if submitting multiple, unless they are interconnected.
Nomination
By Feb 7 all programs will ready for voting. Voting will start by Feb 8 and continue till Feb 21. Every 2-3 day the program(s) with the lowest votes will be eliminated
The Reward
I am not sure since this is my first mini contest, but i am thinking of providing a collection of best games and programs in lua and basic + all participants' programs for the people who have the top three number of votes.
Final Notes
Note 5: The reason for the long time for the programming is because it concerns lua as a language that needs to be tested before release and basic just takes a lot of time to make a simple program.
Note 6: This is also an excuse to know all nspire holders out there.
changes might occur in the following daysjudging rules will be up by jan 8
