Thank you everyone for the compliments!

I'm working on optimizing and adding the new export abilities into AxePaint right now.
The export command will open a new menu:

F1: top buffer
F2: bottom buffer
F3: both buffers
F4: 8x8 parts (splits the buffers into 8x8 blocks) (per squidgetx's request)
F5: return

Also, if there are any feature requests, let me know and I'll see if I can implement them.

Yea, it should work for non-Axe sprites as well.
In fact, I used the program to generate a MirageOS program icon for itself :P

Protocol.
This was a joint project between me and 3 other people, but it never was completed because it's difficult to coordinate efforts and ideas through pm/irc. I might revive this project though, now that Axe is available.

Some good entries here!
Ok, here's my breakdown on each of the entries.
(btw, please don't take offense to anything I say. I'm not criticizing.)

Parsec: Good concept, although currently there isn't much of a challenge. I'd like to see more variety in the AI/ships/weapons.

Simul: A new take on the classics! Adding multiple instances kept the game interesting. Level 2 was as far as I could get

Blur: Classic tunnel game on caffeine. I understand the inspiration for the name.

Mansion Impossible: I have to be honest here. I couldn't figure out how to play this one.

Splut: Other than avoiding the falling blocks, I couldn't figure out the objective. The flag is probably the goal, but without being able to move the blocks, I'm stumped.

Mines4: Classic minesweeper clone. The undo feature is convenient. Allowing the player to hit a mine on the first selection should be changed.

AxePak: 3D pong is definitely my favorite game in the AxePak. I suggest allowing the user to retry by pressing 2nd/Enter instead of only Y/N.

HoMM: The graphics are very nice looking. I'm getting RAM clears when I battle, so I'm not sure on the gameplay.

Advance Wars: There is definitely high potential here. I look forward to seeing this game completed!

WFRNG: Dude, it's so amazing! What can I say but one word? Epic. This random numbers generator takes random numbers to a whole new level.

Space Dash: Very nice game here. Simple yet entertaining. I think a bit more variety would make this game even better. The custom font looks amazing btw.

Exec: I like what's here so far. I suggest making the jump height a function of the keypress duration. Also, maybe decrease the momentum slightly.

Jump: Very clean and simple. Similar concept to Space Dash. Also entertaining. I suggest making multiple tiers (high/low) to add some variety.


Overall, a very close competition.

The AI only has 2 parts to it right now.

[1] weighted values for all the board squares
[2] edge routine to maximize successful edge capture

I'm a bit confused about the results of this code:

:.AATEST
:ClrHome
:4→X
:For(Y,1,255)
:If X and Y
:Disp "Yes",Y►Dec,i
:Else
:Disp "No",Y►Dec,i
:End
:End

Instead of getting all "Yes", I get groups of "Yes" followed by groups of "No".
The size of the groups are equal to X.

Since this is just 8 bit logic, shouldn't this work?

While we're on the topic of mashup's, how about this one:

Is this for the contest, by the way? If not, you could maybe post source code of what you are trying to do.

:.AATEST
:ClrHome
:"appvTEST"→Str1
:!If GetCalc(Str1,Y1) .Check if the appVar is in ROM GetCalc() always returns a non-zero value! (unless the appVar doesn't exist)
:!If GetCalc(Str1) .Check if the appVar is in RAM
:Return!If GetCalc(Str1,7)→P .Create appVar
:Data(0,1,0,2,1,1,1)→GDB1
:For(X,0,6)
:{X+GDB1}→{X+P}
:End
:End
:Return!If ArchiveStr1
:End
:GetCalc(Str1,Y1) .Read appVar from ROM
:For(X,0,{Y1-2}^r
:Disp {X+Y1}►Dec,i
:End
