Awww darn :( I'll submit graviter somewhere someday xD

Yeah, as Madskillz said here, if you're submitting a non-original program, it has to be a rewrite :)

And these programs are generally timed (so people don't just submit the same program year after year to every single contest), so you might have some trouble looking for a contest that accepts programs already made.

Not enough time, unless you already have an engine in place and have a story planned (aka have it finished :P)

Yeah RPG would be tough to do in 3 months.

Can we do a port of a game, as long as we use new code and there hasn't been a port of the game previously?

Great!
I got bored, so I've already made the card sprites for the first 9 Pokemon as well as mockup one of the battle screens.


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.

So is this a computer/calc or just a calc programming contest?(If calc can I do an Nspire one)
I currently don't do much, but I am a developer for a game you should totally try out called AssaultCube Reloaded download here https://assaultcuber.codeplex.com/

It is a calc contest. Unfortunately I dont think any of the staff have an Nspire to test an entry on.

Yeah I think this will be 83+/84+-only, because two of the site the contest is ran by (MaxCoderz and Revsoft) are pretty much just 83+ sites.

wait, so is this separated into different programming languages? as in, Axe programs gets voted separate from BASIC programs, etc.?


Spoiler For funny life mathematics:
1. ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
2. OFFICE ARITHMETIC
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
6. LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)
*Girls=Evil credit goes to Compynerd255*

For Pokemon, it'd be cool to have an Appvar with all the card data, and when new cards come out, you could just post an updated Appvar, or people could trade appvars to get different cards.  Is this game allowed to be multiplayer?  Although I don't know if I'll enter yet...

Spoiler For =====My Projects=====:
Minor setback due to code messing up.  On hold for Contest.

On hold for Contest.


Spoiler For ===Staff Memberships===:






Have you seen any good news-worthy programs/events?  If so, PM me with an article to be included in the next issue of CGPN!
The Game is only a demo, the code that allows one to win hasn't been done.
To paraphrase Oedipus, Hamlet, Lear, and all those guys, "I wish I had known this some time ago."

I wouldn't be giving to many ideas out there on your possible entries. You are gonna want something that sets yours apart remember.  ;)

As for the languages being judged separately, as of now I don't think so. I think we are going to lump all entries together. But that could change by Monday.

The joint programming competition starts today. The contest will run until June 6th. The judges will be representatives from United-TI, Revolution Software and Maxcoderz. If you would like to enter into the contest, you may create a topic in the Programming Competitions section of the United-TI forums. The rules and scoring rubric will be posted on March 11th. As well as some information regarding the prizes. If anyone has any questions you can post them here or send any one of the United-TI staff, Revolution Software staff or Maxcoderz staff a private message.

All participants in the contest must create a trading card type of game.
We would recommend holding off on programming anything until the scoring rubric/rules are posted on the 11th.

All parties want to thank all the people who voted in the contest poll.
We are all committed to making this an excellent competition with excellent prizes!

Thanks again and good luck,
-Madskillz

Cool to hear it's starting. Should I wait until the scoring/rules are posted before posting a news?

Also what language is allowed? BASIC, ASM, Axe, BBC Basic, FastRPL, hybrid?
