I decided to enter your contest (I am a Cemetechian); Runer said it would be alright.  Also, I can only hope that this topic is in the right place.

My entry, which is in TI-Basic, is pretty much unnamed, for it is of an abstract theme, but is, at least for now, named Plot+, pronounced "Plot Cross".  I believe it to be a sub-par name, but it sort of beat the other ideas, Pixel, Firefly, or Starlight. o.O

In it you are a box, navigating from the right side of the screen to the left, through a lot of plot crosses.  The thing is, it places a plot cross in the direction that you move, making movement very difficult.  You advance through potentially infinite levels (though practically one cannot get past 8 ), each one having more plot crosses on it than the last!  And you are given a certain number of bombs, which destroy all the plot crosses surrounding you, to assist you somewhat.  As far as I know, the idea is original, and without making any claim to have all knowledge, I hope you fellows shall concur.

Here is a screenshot:

Hello Caleb. I've seen you around here and there. The wooden calc you made and posted on Cemetech looked fantastic! Anyhow, you are certainly welcome to enter, and I'm really glad to see another BASIC entry.

Yeah it sounds really cool. I should work on my contest entry but I'm too lazy.

He made a wooden replica of a TI 83+, non functional but very nice looking.

Thank you all for the positive comments.   I am actually making a functional (TI-82) model that is mostly complete!  You can see it at http://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9193&start=20&sid=49a490ab1e0deae5dac8147d9b6b14a8 ; I encourage you to post about it there, though when it is finished I'll post a dedicated topic.

I would really love to see a TI calc with a wooden case/shell in action.

Just make sure to keep such calc protected from elements. For example, when coming back home if there's a massive downpour and your backpack or pants gets soaked.

Lets go, Sorunome! Lets go!

I'm unsure if I am allowed to help since I am not admin, but make sure that every rule are followed on the contest news page. For example, don't forget to send a copy of your code that is commented with the game.
