Summer Programming Contest 2017

As snail_ stated. The "one file" rule relates to the initial configuration. If the functionality of the program includes file management, that's fine.

Your game doesn't fit into one screenshot. It fits into three actually.

Coming! I'm lazy to make full-fledge gaims with such tiny space, so i made a quick tech-demo of shadow casting (sort of. What actually does is cast a copy of a sprite). Also, is a tech-demo, so there's no need to press anything since the program will work by itself. Key: N3A8EJQS

https://smilebasicsource.com/page?pid=841 I also made a DELUXE version, which has more control in comparison. I'm going to post this key on Miiverse to avoid confusion here:

You're right. Wrong file, sorry. I don't even think that version of the program runs/does its job correctly. I just uploaded the correct one right now, and a screenshot is on its way.

so I dont have to put a lot of effort? I dont need to know a lot about coding? Count me IN!

you should still put in effort...

though if you dont know coding you will not have the luxury of shortening it and making better/easyer stuff

Im not in it to win yet...At least not now...I just wanna enter my first coding contest

I know this is a competition and all, but do you have any tips on reducing over all size?

Numbers (not vars or constants) and return funcs (INKEY$()) can be directly before a keyword. Such as IF BUTTON()AND 16THEN.

I got a simple program that somehow took 2 hours (one little mistake made it that long) The key is DWEZEWD

Wouldn't it have saved you a lot of space if you put it all on one line?

im just surprised how well that worked and confused as to why there are so many spaces left on purpose. its truly awesome.

my game has i think 6 lines filled so far and will take me a while to complete.

This could probably fit in 1/4 of the screen if you remove all the extra spaces

Flagthrowers. KEY: 12R3E38E

Remember to use the syntax highlighter to see what is allowed. : and spaces are usually unnecessary. You can put numbers directly before function calls and variable assignments (unless the function/variable starts with E) Most symbols can be right next to other things (use the syntax highlighting to check) Also, you can use . instead of 0 to save space:

SPSET 0,1
SPSET.,1

Replacing ENDIF with a line break can save space if it goes past the end of a line.
