We took the users' opinions and none of them chose it but you and Bob Vila.

propably because we are the only ones who still use the CFX thus our opinions should carry more wieght

[casiokingdom]

if genesis was still programming, he would support us....i think

[Andy.Davies]

no, it was a general question. when we say BASIC Programs we mean for the AFX and for the CFX, afterall i make programs for the AFX, but i dont see the point in a BASIC programs comp.

[Gemini_5]

I believe the BASIC program voting ended 6 to 3 against. I'd like to add mine, so it comes to 6 to 4! I don't see why we can't just make some programs, I my opinion the CFX is much better at apps anyway, as the speed limitations makes gaming nearly impossible (respect to the programmers that get it done anyway).

Besides, programs would be more usefull to the community, as everybody can play games on his cell or PDA. Programs actually add some usefullness to your calc during exams and schoolwork (greets to casiokingdom!).

And so what if not everybody wants to make a BASIC prog? 4 is enough for a competition isn't it?

[huhn_m]

Sorry but you are too late. I think the decission has been made and unless
the other admins think in another way I wouldn't change it now.

[Mohamed]

Still not enough, you need three more.

The thing I don't understand is, why don't you just make a fabulous program and present it here and get all the cheers?
Must there be a strong reason for the program like winning?

[Andy.Davies]

when i make a program, it is beacuse i need one, if you have ever looked at my website, you will find very little games (if any, i think there might be one ASM/C) the rest are programs. having said that you might excpect i would vote in fvour of a program comp, but i didnt. this is because i think that a program should be made for a need, not to win somthing, and try defining "The best program ever" it ould be difficult, as i find a resistor solver brilliant, but genesis wouldnt. a game however, can be difined as brilliant, as there aremore people with the same taste. take tetris for example, that is a brilliant game, it has hours of playability, it is world-popular, and it has been created on so many different systems (AFX, CFX, FX, PC, <{GNULINUX}>, Mac, Gameboy, PS1, PS2) find me a program that is that popular!

phew! i dont normally type essays!

[Mohamed]

Oh, now you're in a contradiction.
Now, why is there an ASM/C programming competition, how are we going to judge it?
My oh my.

P.S. You consider that an essay?

P.S. 2: You have to keep to the English writing rules if you want to remain a mod anymore , sentences start with a capital letter, use apostrophes, it's "don't" and not "dont", start new sentences/paragraphs in a new line.
Maybe I and Killer will make a tutorial for written English someday, and will add some wrong written words to the forum filter so it corrects them (I've already added 2, looking at Crimson ).
And who knows, might add them one day to the "Forum Rules".

[betoe]

Maybe I and Killer

Is Mohamed wrong or i'm still an english ignorant, but i think its "Maybe Killer and me". Anyway I must study english.

[2072]

What he wrote seems correct to me.

I don't remember if that's you who often write something like "He said that him classpad was messed up" (just an exemple).

You should write "He said that his classpad was messed up".

[CrimsonCasio]

curse you all... stop mocking my spelling! sob...

[betoe]

He said that him classpad was messed up

Yes thats me

[Overlord]

Correction : "Yes, that's me !"

[Andy.Davies]

hmm. we are getting off topic! and as a Brittish citizen, i talk and type like the Brittish do! MS Word puts the capitals in for me!

getting back on topic:

It is easier to judge an asm/c program, as you can look at the code, see the algorithems used, see how the program is constructed. It gives more to look at with a larger language.

Getting off topic again:

You should always use a double space after a full-stop!

[huhn_m]

double space after full-stop? Why then the whole text is
simply two chars next to the sites border. I don't see a sense in this ...

[Andy.Davies]

Hey, we were talking about proper English typing, ask any English typist (like my mum)!

A new sentence should start with a double space, but only after a full-stop.

[Overlord]

But when you type a multiple space, IPB changes it to a single space.

[/Off-Topic]

[Andy.Davies]

Everyone back on topic! this thread is for the 2004 Programming competion, not the 2004 Grammer competition!

[casiokingdom]

yeah, now that i look at the BASIC programming comp. it will be quite hard to judge. and i don't think 4 people is enough.
btw, i made a Venn Diagram program recently. It solves several combinations using algebra. very useful. i will add it to my site one day.
but for now here it is.
http://ck.earthforge.com/venn.CAT

i will also add it to filesharing.

[huhn_m]

why is 4 people not enough?

There is no difference wether they test 10 or 20 programs @4 or 10 people.

Everyone must test EVERY program and give their opinion.

[casiokingdom]

please download Venn from filesharing as that one has a readme attached.

[casiokingdom]

i meant 4 people participating in a BASIC programs comp. i'm not sure what you mean, though.

[Bob Vila]

i think that he is talking about judging...

[huhn_m]

Sorry! It seemed to me as if you were talking about
judging.

Of course 4 people for a program competition would be enought but
to hold one but the majority decided against.

Anyways how do you want to judge a basic program?
You can't compare an app for withsics with one for chemistry
but in ASM/C i expect REAL applications like
a word processor or such things and THEY are judgeable.

[Freakazoid]

its so easy: show us a good and fair system of judging the programs and i think the comp. will be possible!!!

[casiokingdom]

r u entering the BASIC games category Freakazoid?

[Freakazoid]

yes

but i've no prob if there is no programing comp.

[casiokingdom]

great! the admins will add u to the list soon

[Freakazoid]

thx

huhn wanted to add me (in the basic-game-section, i think)

[huhn_m]

good ... you haven't told me this yet on the DCF ...
you just said you wanted to enter and I asked you in
what category ... but you didn't answere.

*EDIT: Crimson already wrote you into the list.

[Freakazoid]

oh,
i'm sorry
i didn't read the post carefully
but you're right

can i make a program and a game?
if not i would make game (both in CFX-Basic)

[Bob Vila]

just a game

[Andy.Davies]

yeah, no basic Programs allowed, only basic games

[Freakazoid]

ok
