nevermind, let's say you have till Dcember 1st... I'll change the first post of this thread.

[Marco]

Little question left:

I sended only the source of the game now, not that of the libs (cause they were not made for the game). Should I send the lib's sources in spite of?

[Orwell]

I think you should better send the compiled program

[Andy.Davies]

i think he has sent the compiled game, and the games source, he just wants to know if he should send the Libs source aswell.

[Mohamed]

Oh my! I really forgot, when or why did we decide ASM/C games finish a month before programs?

Anyway, 2072: Does that mean they still have a month?
If so please take attention Marco!

AND WHERE ARE THE OTHER COMPETITORS?
Or did they think like me and mastermage?

[2072]

yeah they still have a month since that was mis-understood, I don't even remember why we decided that...

[huhn_m]

Well we evaluate the coding abilitys so please send the libs to.
So you'll probably get better votes.

Btw. I need to know what version of pascal you use in order to evaluate it

[Bija]

if the asm/c games deadline is 1st December, then the judges could begin to test the received games if their owner doen't want to modify it, no ?

[2072]

of course

[Roeoender]

I was away from 29.X to 2.XI so I have just received all competition emails.
So here is a short summary (for non-competitors and non-judges )
(No titles included as not to spoil the comp)

Basic games:
Casiokingdom
Genesis
CrimsonCasio


Asm/C/Pas games:
Bija
Marco (3x times )
Madjar
C@s!oMaX

No Asm/C/Pas programs.

This is also noted on the first post in this thread (btw update casiomax).

Asm/C/Pas games/programs surely can be developed further on (till 1. dec) even if they were already sent.

btw it is good to include prog/game name and forum username in the mail subject when submitting.

Roeoender.

[casiokingdom]

so may i ask...is there a judge with a CFX?

[Mohamed]

There is!

[casiokingdom]

can you tell us who? is it bob?

[Bob Vila]

i dont think it is me... at least no one has told me yet

[Marco]

Great: a full additional month - So I'll continue work on my (incompleate) game now .

Btw. I need to know what  version of pascal you use in order to evaluate it

I've used Borland Turbo Pascal 6.0, but the source should work under TP 5.5 too (not tested, however).

[Andy.Davies]

sorry to be offtopic, but Marco, why do you use Pascal? We are learning Object Pascal (Delhpi) in uni, and im sorry to say, but it seems like the most ilogical language ive ever used (and i have used alot). if u want to talk on MSN or somthing and try and convince me otherwise, please do! (i have many examples but im being offtopic so i wont list them)

[Marco]

Sorry to be offtopic, too

Yeah, Delphi is illogical in some points (because of compatibility reasons of advanced Syntax elements with old ones; I say only Strings) But if we speak about plain Pascal: no there`s nothing unlogic, I also find it a bit more logic than C in some points.

Pascal provides the same possibilities to you as C does, but offers them in a much easier way. So why don't use Pascal? Just because of its "bad" image?

...

This would go to far here, however (really long off-topic); I send you a PM, [crusade]hope that I can convert one more coder to pascal by that[/crusade].

[Orwell]

OFFTOPIC:

[crusade] what about C++?? [/crusade]

[huhn_m]

I think Delphi (O-Pascal) is one of the easiest lanuages (CLX / Cross Platform). (as long as it doesn'T come to file handling )

[Marco]

OK, sended the final version of my game now.
But got it rejected again (from Andies' account I believe).

Well, I think he's a BASIC cathegory judge anyway...

[huhn_m]

well, I got it so no problem ..

[Andy.Davies]

yeah, but Zip or RAR you game before sending otherewise gmail refuses them....oh and send it ot the competeition address

[CrimsonCasio]

zip is also refused sometimes... ive been just deleting the extension then putting it back on later.

[casiokingdom]

when will the results be announced?

[huhn_m]

Be patient!

Not een all have send their programs in ...

[casiokingdom]

sorry, i was just asking. i'm in no rush

[huhn_m]

we hope to have them announced before the new year starts

(note the "we hope" )

[huhn_m]

Andy and 2072 ... your e-mail addresse did not accept my mail (for the contest ...)

What format do you need it in?

[2072]

I got your email, it's one of the address where the email is forwarded that bounced. Can you PM me the whole error message you received?

Note that yoou should had RARed everything because some email server may reject 'dangerous' attachement like .doc or even .zip.

[huhn_m]

so the time limit has passed and many games were send in.
We close this threat now since there is no more discussion needed in here.

We'll open a new threat when the results are to be announced.
He hope to get it done before 1.1.2005 but no guarantee.

If the date moves we'll keep you informed.

BASIC:
- casiokingdom
- CrimsonCasio

- C@siomax
- madjar
- Marco

ASM/C Programs:
- huhn_m


The folowing have not:

Quite a bad quota ...

[CrimsonCasio]

umm, 4nic8 should have a program sent in, i even tested it for him (probably orwell too), check on that again (nic went mountian climbing about two weeks ago and I havent seen him online sense... im kinda worried something happend to him )

[2072]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Do you know his real name?

[CrimsonCasio]

yeah, i can find it at least. why?

[2072]

yeah, i can find it at least. why?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

So someone from Poland can check if something bad happend to him.

[CrimsonCasio]

its Jacek Malinowski, who can check and how? (i'll open the topic again)

[Roeoender]

Well I have just sent him an email to 3 mail boxes: @wp.pl, @interia.pl (bounced but it was an old one) and @casiocalc.org

nic went mountian climbing about two weeks ago

Do you remember the name of the mountains? (as in about 70% of polish mountains it is really hard to get hurt).

He may just be busy preparing for some exams (just as I am) or have problems with ISP

'Malinowski' is very popular name, and Warsaw is our capital (pop. 2'000'000).

Roeoender.

[CrimsonCasio]

he never told me what mountians it was... but i hope its exams or ISP problems. anyway, i can vouch that he has at least 2 submitable programs for the UCF comp ready before the due date, and i can probably find an older version on my hard drive...

[Deimos]

I think You can close the topic again - 4nic8 is alive and all right

[huhn_m]

good to know

Thanks ...
