Don't wait till the last minute!

AAAAAAAA I just finished recovering from the last contest!

yay this is amazing! im getting started right away, but as usual just to make sure, i CAN use sprites i have already made in the past..?

"Don't wait till last minute!" Story of my life.

Good luck to everyone! I will try my best to manage my time and release a good game. I want a little more than the participation badge this time ;)

Ohhh heeeyyyy...! I have to think of something real fast

Cool, I gotta think of something

I say “Good Luck” to everyone who is participating :)

i honestly think the one i'm developing is going to come in last place. honestly i don't know what to do in that game. white isn't a theme. what am i supposed to do? make a white screen that never ends?

I've gotta participate in this one!

“Another contest? You asked for it!” Me, Yesterday “January 1st seems best, right now would be too early, we had one just a month ago. Having it even later than February 14th would be too long a wait.” Umm

i'm sorry. if i had voted for jan-feb, it would be then.

Getting a bit off topic lol but anyways I'm here to introduce my games idea One detective, One crook, and One man. when a man is asked by unknown sources to cut power to a building for a hefty amount of money, he soon realizes what is happening but goes with it, after he later does it he is soon on his way home from work, but during his drive he is stopped because of a police shootout, soon realizing what is happening he takes a turn for the worst. He takes part in helping the police take down the criminal network responsible for a recent string of crimes, join us on this game as we are taken to the farthest depths of the criminal network and follow along as the story gets push smaller because of time limits and watch as you get a small 10 minute game with ONLY ONE CRIME (THAT LAST PART WAS A JOKE BTW) (i may have been watching a few honest trailers lately) (just a few) [poll=p256][/poll]

I might come out and shine from the shadows on this one, had a game idea in mind. Nothing too complex, i say that and i’m going to work on it and probably flop over asking why i wanted to do this but that’s ok. Yay.

I've become pretty familiar with coding, but what is a library? For dummies.

A library is a collection of reusable functions and code in general. For instance, this website uses a bbcode library to parse the bbcode because I didn't want to write it myself.

https://smilebasicsource.com/page?pid=957 is my entry. It’ll probably lose. At the end it says it’s the worst game on SmileBasic Source
