Ideas for another non prize competition: BEST Tutorial program -You need to make an interactive tutorial on one of the Functions in Smile BASIC. Your choice, could be as simple as full guide for PRINT (if you are a beginner) or one of the crazy ones (if you are an expert). -in your program try to explain the full concept, or at least try to go in depth, with whatever functions you choose. -have a 2nd (or how many you want) simple example program, that has an error in it, that can be solved once you finish the tutorial. (by asking the user to enter the source and fix it, probably no more then 2-3 lines that need to be fixed. Example for a print error sample...
Spoiler
'FIX the lines below, then run the program.
X$="WORDS"
'get the first line to PRINT "WORDS", by fixing the syntax error
PRINT "X$

'fix the syntax here by placing the missing divider
PRINT "I like "X$

'with what one single symbol, you can PRINT this line?
 "This is the string to print"
There is a lot more you could do with a PRINT test, but I left this super simple in case someone really wanted to do an in depth one.
Isn't there a thread for contest ideas?

Are you talking about this https://smilebasicsource.com/forum?ftid=1342 ? Because that did not appear to be a all suggestions here thread.

Thats a good idea!

I like the idea, I'm so so sure about the 2nd part, ("have a 2nd (or how many you want) simple example program, that has an error in it") but other than that yeah, I'm down with that idea.
SwanBot#185
i would do a contest and offer 10$ if i had enough people interested or i good theme..
SwanBot#186
i mean 10$ reward btw

Maybe I should clarify that the 2nd part is a short separate test program with errors included, so that the program will not run without the directed fixes. The idea that there should only be a few "questions" per test program is so that the user can easily figure out where the problem is, if incorrectly answered. So if you really wanted to, you could have more then one test program included. (Since they will most likely be very small.) but since this is a competition there is only a single test program required. Essentially make a test program, and then make your tutorial around everything that is required to understand the topic of the test. (For fastest prototyping)

I like the idea of making more help and tutorial information, but it doesn't make sense to prepare it as a program and not for submission to a contest in this manner.

I just came back from camp and I realized that my project that was put in the folder wasn't my final version of the game. This is my final version: http://smilebasicsource.com/forum?fpid=16603#post_16603. You don't half to update it if you don't want to. I'm just a bit upset.

Spoilerto me, the game was one of the best even if it wasn't the full version, though I don't see how you could POSSIBLY fit anything more in your code
Simeon#191
Final update, this project is now compressed far beyond anything should ever be. Huge Platformer OSP- current key: 4RF5Z3N3.

I knew somebody was going to take advantage of overflowing CHR$ to allow for two or more characters to be stored in one. I'm really impressed you were able to do that with such small overhead!

Thank you everyone who voted! The winner is Calc84maniac's game FrogGuy, while in second place we have 12Me21's Asteroids. Congratulations, and thank you for your entries! [poll=p184][/poll]
ProKuku#194
I must say I'm surprised by how many votes I got.
Yolkai#195
oh my goodness my plants tied for sixth, is it? I'll come back when I'm ready to take things seriously, hm?
calc84maniac#196
Yay, glad people enjoyed my game! Anyone manage to beat it? (Sadly there wasn't enough code space for high scores, so I couldn't tell you what mine was...)

Eh... I'm over it. This contest was one of my favorite ones so far. I had a blast creating and compressing my entry! And the theme was simple enough for anyone to join in... I think this should definitely be recreated.
Morgan#198
7 Votes? People are easily pleased I see, because my game was pretty bad overall.
SomeThing#199
What?! I can't believe there was a person who actually voted for my game.
SpoilerYes, I did vote for my own entry. I knew I wouldn't win either way.
JustGreat#200
I'm satisfied with a middle of the road ranking for my effort on SLOTS. I'm just glad so many people participated this time around. It was a genius contest idea!
