Official SmileBASIC Source Programming Contest (July 6-August 5)
Root / Site Discussion / [.]
The demo was amazing.
(i accidentally flagged?) Anyways, Perska's demo was really noice. It felt almost like a finished game, except for the fact that it ends really short. Cannot wait for the full game! (if you quit making TLOC after this contest perska, many people will be mad)It's only been a few days. Maybe people want to talk about the contest some more? Don't let silly users get you down~Perska has Pers-vod-ka in his bar. >get the pun?I think it's time we lock this thread.
*celebratory trumpet*
Someone remind me to join one of these next millennium. It looks like everyone had a lot of fun making these.
Also why would we kill this thread over a joke about vodka when there's been several posts that are just pictures of anime girls with no explained relevance?

You were saying?Now we just have to run contests every two weeks to get a steady flow of submissions.Quality over quantity, though
Well, look at SmileBASIC Source Chat Simulator. People worked on it turn after turn and... well, it didn't become a good submission but yeah you get the point :P Back on the topic, I'm the one who voted for UAG Drumpf. A challenging game with cool visuals!It'll be a pain if more than two people work on the program.I'm open to other ways to encourage high quality (NOT High Quality) submissions, though.I'd love to participate in some kind of collab.
Glad you liked it. On a side note, a collaborative project would be great, but I think that coding practices would have to be standardized before any work could be started. I've noticed that not everyone codes the same way here. A while back I floated the idea of a community project. At the time I thought a Mario Party-esque game would have been good. Given that most of us only have one 3DS system I think it might be better to make a Warioware kind of community project. This genre would allow for more originality (hint, hint). Plus, it takes less effort and time to make mini-games as opposed to a full fledged title. I don’t want to clog this thread up, so I’m going to make a thread about this in case anyone is interested. BTW: forgive any typos...I'm using my phone. :/Well, look at SmileBASIC Source Chat Simulator.

I have bad memories of when I forced a collaboration contest back on the PTC Wiki.
SB really isn't suited for it, and I'm still looking for that patch and diff utility I know I saw. It's too bad.
Honestly, I thought people would go a different direction with the theme. I tried to suggest it with "meaningful use of color," but a lot of the entries ended up being "emphasis on colors." I don't think it was restrictive, I think people got confused, and I have some ideas I'm willing to try to prevent this for next time.

400x240 is not high quality.How about 320*480? Anyway... What if we did a challenge where you had to make a "tool" program, since I often see people entering those in challenges, but they never get any votes. However, I feel like we already have way too many of those, so maybe that's not the best idea. I also think a OSP/QSP challenge would be nice, but I'm sure other people wouldn't agree...
