Official SmileBASIC Source Programming Contest (November 15-December 15)

well... time to get working on snailshrink again

That's not encryption or industry lol

it was gonna have a (bad) encryptor function. anyway compressing the data makes it entirely unreadable because Huffman coding

I think that if your game has an offensive word on the title or in code, then it may be rejected by smileboom.

Can confirm. I believe my text adventure got taken down either for having swear words in it or "graphic" depictions of violence. Basically, offensive words. And now, even though I've made it PG friendly, it still gets taken down.

Pretty sure my text adventure got removed too. Mine was pretty light on violence and no harsh language, but I did have satirical names of pharmaceutical drugs and the game had you buying and selling them so that could be why?

I announced on MiiVerse two weeks ago what my entry would be. It is a Rock Paper Scissor Game that based on your pick raises or lowers the stock value for your pick. "Rock Paper Stocks" I have been having several problem in my development, and things are moving very slowly lately as my careless code is causing bugs galore. I am in the middle of deciding whether to start over with a better loop series, or tough it out and keep patching bugs that I have been causing (as I know that it's not the 3DS's fault that the buggy code won't run perfectly). I still hope that I'll have a bug free game by the deadline, and I plan to post more about the general development of this project after the voting has ended. (I still am posting weekly teaser updates on MiiVerse)

Don't forget: the last day to submit programs is the 15th. You still have 9 days, so make sure your submissions are in the "Programming Contest" category before the deadline!

I feel you @Giant_Gamer! My game isn'y buggy, in fact I was very careful when writing it so it runs perfectly. However I didn't build the code all that dynamically like I should have, and now that I have a map system, coding the actual map functions has become very difficult and confusing and it's kind of halted my progress! Sucks but I just have to keep going, I've literally coded so much sprite interaction that going back would be nearly impossible. (I have separate sprites, two for nearly every button/interaction. One sprite for normal, and one for selection.)

just so we're clear EDIT it took me far too many tries to make the link work sorry

But I already discussed this on the first page lol. Guess it's good to put it again, though.

You only have 4 more days to submit your programs! Make sure you get them in before the deadline!

Due to final exams I ain't gonna make it in time. On the plus side, I have some good resources for a new project. I'm looking forward to trying out the submissions...when they get released.

One of the worst times to end a programming contest.. should've been December 21st.

I agree, definitely the worst possible time of the year I'll see what I can make at the last minute

OK; thanks for all the negativity.

Hurray! Rock Paper Scissor Stocks v1,0 (RPSSTOCKS) has been submitted to the soon pile of games! I can't wait to see everyone's projects!! https://smilebasicsource.com/page?pid=658 Hopefully I flagged it properly this time. lol And now I can finally play Pokemon Moon! EDIT: Yeah I there are still a few things I need to fix, like removing the MONDAY button prompts, but I am going to be very busy until this Friday, so I guess everyone will just have to look past the "suddenly now I see it" flaws. I hope everyone dose well during the remaining CRUNCH TIME!!

Time to create a spaghetti coded industrial racer.... where you carry boxes as fast as you can from one area to the next to save the world from its energy crisis.

Well I had overlooked a problem with the end game, and left out an important check, so that and the "suddenly now I see it" flaw has been fixed. V1.1 should be the final submission to the game... pending another major flaw getting uncovered. I have updated the main page with the new code for V1.1 . (I'm just glad there was less work then expected today, so I had time to get this patched and out.)

It looks like unless something is released tomorrow (or there's an extension), Giant will win by default...

Yeah I'm in the same boat, I've lost a whole week that I could've worked on and likely finished my game. Now I have to try and finish at least 3 major coding functions in less than 2 days.

We have 3 entries so far! That's practically more than 7!
