Hi,

As planned for months, there is supposed to be an Axe contest again this year (the rest of the staff have worked stuff out about hosting and contest prizes for the three contests, since Omnimaga is here to stay). However, the difference is that this year, Axioms will be allowed. However, Axioms made after May 15th, 1 AM GMT-5, will not be accepted. This includes updates. If Runer112 decides to update his Axiom after May 15th, you cannot use the update, you have to use the versions released before May 15th. This excludes, however, MemKit, which comes with Axe Parser.

Basically, if you want to allow the enhancment of Axe language through axioms for use with the contest, then you only have 10 days left to release it. Any Axiom or Axiom update released after this date other than the official Axiom MemKit will not be allowed.

This is to prevent, for example, somebody from coming up with a 8 level grayscale variable wall height raycasting engine, release it here, then everyone releases their contest entries like "L@@K! I MADE A 8 LV RAYCASTAR IN EXE!!1!one".

lol, load axiom, jump to code.  I wins!!! Sounds interesting, any word on prizes yet?

Yeah someone will make an axiom where you type starcraft() and the entire game is done for you. All you do is choose if you want sound, grayscale, 2D or 3D.

Prizes will most likely be the same as last year, or something similar. We do not give material prizes, though, because most users here are still under the wrath of their parents and their parents won't allow them to receive items shipped from the Internet. So yeah it will still be online prizes like gift cards or the like.

Runer112 did one

J/k but yeah I also thought about requring that ASM code remains to a certain level in games. For example, someone won't be able to use 6 KB of ASM and 1 KB of Axe.

Seconded. Also, when does the contest end?
