Hello world !
I'd like to announce that the "TI-Concours" (TI-Contest in french) has started last week.

What is TI-Concours ?

The TI-Concours is a french contest which was created last year. After a very successful first edition (17 participants, all in high school, only for TI-Basic z80 ! ), this contest has been internationalized and programmers who don't speak french can also participate.
You can't participate if you were born before 1986.

How does it work ?

You can participate with one or several or the following languages :

-> TI-Basic z80
-> Axe
-> TI-Basic 68k

The contest is divided in three parts :

- the first two parts last one week and consist to make the program you are asked to in the best way : you will have instructions to follow, and you will be graded on both the compliance of these instructions and program quality (the first program is a game, and the second one is... something else );
- the last part consists to present on the website one of your projects during 4 weeks, on your personal web page : visitors will be able to watch it and will be able to vote for the program they preferred.

Your score is made in that way : your score for the two first parts * 1 + the number of votes you got * .25 + the score for the last part * 5.

Dates

13/03 to 19/03 : 1st part
27/03 to 02/04 : 2nd part
*holiday time in France*
07/05 to 03/06 : 3rd part

Final results should be given around 16th-17th of June.

P.S. : you can see last year's programs here : http://ti-concours.e-monsite.com.

P.S. 2 : I'm not very good in english, sorry if there is some mistakes...

I don't think so.. in which langage you will participate ?

Don't worry for registration, just write your nickname, there is too much useless information to write if you aren't french. x)

1) The first and second part will be imposed subject with a basic list set to complete. These subjects will be given at the last moment (13/03 for the first part, 27/03 for the second). Then If you want have a better rate you need to improved as best as you can but you have to return the program before the deadline (19/03 to the first part, and 02/04 to the second).

2) This third part is just a free project you have to make.

I think it will be pure Basic, but noelthebest didn't post officials rules for the moment.

I'm still not sure what's going on - you get two projects, then one free project?

Well, good luck to everyone who enters! And to Noël as well, I guess.

By Axe hexadecimal codes, do you mean like small asm programs?
