Create a game for the Casio fx-9860G calculator. Anyone outside of Australia can enter.
Read details...

But it will last for about 2 months. That's just an estimate for now.
@vanhoa, I decided you don't need an fx-9860G calculator this time. So you can enter.
BTW, if you don't know what a Meizu miniPlayer is, read this: http://dapreview.net...php?content.296
I recently bought one and I think it is great!

I said GAME. So it can be in BASIC, add-in etc. As long as it is a game.Is this a contest for the best add-in or for the best program (the built-in language kind)?

this will be an incentive for more people to learn the SDK and C, so in fact it makes the world a better place (everyone knows C programmers are nice people)

two months i am happy, i first need to learn the sdk better, should take me some time. If it was a shorter period only a few could enter, like kucalc and vanhoa
Yes, that would be true. I only know three people who have written games so far with the SDK: me as in kucalc (Pong, Space Invaders, BoxWorld), vanhoa (Aspirin and Sodoku) and Muelsaco (Snake).
By the way, how many games can we submit?

One more question though. The contest is for FX-9860G games, but will I be disqualified if I intentionally make it compatible with other calculators, like the CFX-9850GC+? I don't like limiting my games to one calculator when a few simple steps can be taken to make it work on others. I assume this is allowed, as long as it'll work on the FX-9860G?

And I prefer making games based on the character sets... they seem faster than graphic games to me. I guess that means it'll just have to be even better, though >_>;

My main problem is that I often lose interest in the project... usually somewhere halfway through, sometimes even close to the end. Anyway...
...the project I think I'm gonna make is an RPG. I'm hoping to make it compatible with older calculators as well as newer ones, so no FX-specific characters or functions. That's gonna make it a bit more difficult, but I guess it could be done. The hardest parts of an RPG always seem to be making enemies, writing a good story and the damage formula. Damage = Atk - Def is just not good enough... I think I'm gonna borrow from pok?mon there >_>;

It's less than 2 months away. It's also the date the Australian programming competition ends. I think it's a good date.
I think it?s a bad date. I am just starting to get the hang of making graphic games, but it is going to be hard for me to get any graphic game ready for April. How much does it effect if the game is more text based when it could have been more graphic?

Graphics is only one part of the judging criteria:
* Graphics
* Speed
* Gameplay
* Replay Value
* Quality
* Programming Skill
* Originality
* Overall Impression

The owner of miniplayer.info has decided to sell her business. This means she will probably NOT provide the Meizu miniplayer as a prize anymore. I'm trying to contact her regarding this, but she is very slow in replying.
I'm sorry if this disappoints you.
However, there is still one prize left: Casio fx-9860G SD supplied by Calculator's Online.

Better than noneAnyways, that is bad how there is only one prize now for the contest...
I'll try to get another prize but I don't think I'll be able to in time. I get better success with Australian stores however they don't ship worldwide. That's why I have more prizes for the Australian competition than the International one.
I apologise again. I didn't expect miniplayer.info to go on sale.

I dont think shipping take much $ for me (from Au to Vietnam is not so long).
