hey, i'm in highschool. i don't have any cash on hand to invest in shares. I'm just playing this game for fun

[rjstephens]

ok

i wanted to participate in this competition, but i wsan't going to until now, because i kinda dropped my cable down a drain and broke it.

i finally got round to burning myself with the soldering iron again and fixing it. - it works.

I'm participating. I saw a movie the other day and i've got something planned.

do i need to give you any more info?

[Mohamed]

do i need to give you any more info?

Yes, in what category?
ASM/C or BASIC?

And are you sure you'd be able to finish in time?

[CrimsonCasio]

rj is basic

[Brazzucko]

I have finished my game?.. Finally

[CrimsonCasio]

great, send it on over. simjake AT msn.com, make sure it has Competition in the subject.

[Bob Vila]

brazzucko, is your game for the CFX or AFX?

[rjstephens]

1. yes the game will be in basic
2. the movie was called speed, i was going to do somehting like that but i changed my mind. i have a new idea now.

[Brazzucko]

It's for the AFX, but i'm working in one version for the CFX....

[Bob Vila]

hope it's not too big

[genesis]

What... do you have to say if you are entering? Oh well... I'll never get this finished.

Would you prefer a 3D shoot-em up game or an enormous RPG?

As for websites, I have found a good host (freewebs.com). Now I'm making it in Flash.

BTW. How do you see all of your posts again? I forgot.

[casiokingdom]

you can open your assistant and click on "view my last 10 posts"

1. This topic is NOT about hosts.
2. *edit* [No longer valid ]
3. Brinkster HAS traffic even on the most expensive accounts
5. Only offers 30MB webspace and 500MB Transfer.

Please do NOT advertise companies with offers they do not have. And do NOT advertise in gerneral an topics not related to
it.

This also applys to you, genesis.

*EDIT* after andys post

[Andy.Davies]

2 things:

1. sorry for posting hosting stuff here.

2. brinkster dose have a free acount, i just checked, they dont advertise it on their front page tho.

[Brazzucko]

Well Bob Vila the AFX version of my game has 62Kb

[Andy.Davies]

wow, how on earth can u compress that down to fit onan AFX? 28Kb of user mem only!

[casiokingdom]

wow, how on earth can u compress that down to fit onan AFX? 28Kb of user mem only!

you mean on the CFX, AFX calcs have more mem

[Andy.Davies]

oops! yeah thats what i meant

[CrimsonCasio]

brazzucko, are you counting all the picture memory? also you have to remember that pictures on the CFX take up about 3~4 times as much space as they do on the AFX (~1500 to ~4000) the graph memory also takes up more space and is slower... also the CFX only has 6 pictures.

ps, I got your e-mail, I cant respond right now but I will in a day or two.

[genesis]

I know what you mean by our models being slower and taking up more picture memory, every model of CFX before 9850 GB+ was faster and in black and white. Except for 9850 G, that was fast because it wasn't bugged down with features you rarely use (financial calculator? Plus, does it have 2 kb more memory?).

HINT: Using BG-Pict makes the screen flashing less obvious and your program faster but how do you change the BG-Pict again, or turn it off?

[Andy.Davies]

in a program press Shift' /> MENU' /> F6' /> F5' /> , [ f1] gives you bg-pict, and F2' /> gives you bg-none

[rjstephens]

my calc has "gone missing" so i am going to have to pull out of the competition, at least until it reappears.

[casiokingdom]

good luck on finding your calc

[rjstephens]

well i'm wondering if i will. i don't think i lost it, i think someone took it but i can't be sure.

Maybe it'll show up

(after overhering a conversation between two of the girls today, somehow i doubt it will)

[Andy.Davies]

ouch, thats really harsh, if it was a normal calc, id be a bit anoyd, but a graphic

[Scatnut]

Hi. First time on here, saw the comp on page one and thought Id enter. Then I saw it was 8 pages long, but you seem to still be talking about it, so am I too late or what? Even if ive only got a week or so, Id still like to take part, Im always making games and stuff. My m8s jokingly call me Napster, if any of them want anything made they come to me and I make it. Anyways, if its not finished already, When is the deadline? And if it is finished already, will there be a new comp coming up ot what?

Cheers, Scatnut.

[Andy.Davies]

welcome ot the UCF, this is the first competition on the UCF, and it was crimsoncasio's idea. as far as i know the com hasn't ended yet, but for a dead line you better wait until somone who has entered posts.

i havent entered simply cos im a program maker, not a game maker

[CrimsonCasio]

hi, sure you can enter, you wont have the time everyone else has had, but it will be good practice. the competition ends November 1st if you are doing a basic game and December 1st if you are doing a game in ASM/C. I do need to know what catagory you will be participateing in, so please tell me. Also, I suggest you read the first post, It has lots of info.

[PerCasioAdAstra]

Hello there
I am also new to this board, though i have been reading it regularely. I wish to apply as a contestant to the Casio Basic coding, seeing that's the only type i know anything about. Deadline first of November. I'll get to it!

Kinds Regards
PerCasioAdAstra

[CrimsonCasio]

sure thing.

[rjstephens]

well good news everyone, i did just loose it. It didn't get taken. I'm back into the competition now.
--edit--
but i'm not sure i'll have time. I'll try anyways.

[Scatnut]

Cheers. Did read the first post, very informative. Thanks for the suggestions. Ill be doing a casio BASIC game. What format do you want it in, i mean what file extension? I know youll probably have more details soon, but its good to know. Anyways, thanks for that, ill keep checking back for details. Cheers.
Oh, and feel free to email me, dunno y ude want to, but if you did, scatnut AT wouldilie.com is the one to get me at. Bye.

[rjstephens]

i'm not running the competition so i'm not sure but usually we use .CAT around here.

[CrimsonCasio]

thats correct.

by the way, we now have 20 people in the competition.

[casiokingdom]

20 people means more competition. I have a feeling that a lot of top qualtiy games are going to be released after the judging.

[genesis]

Wow! This competition is big, I won't stand a chance. I must say, it's made this site really popular, members are joining everyday. November 1st is what... 10 days... uh oh.

[casiokingdom]

what month are you living in? 10 days to November! Check your calender. You have heaps of time to create a game.

[CrimsonCasio]

its october, then november... lol, dont worry, I do that all the time.

[Brazzucko]

What????

I was thinking that the dead line was October 1st

I already add one more ( and not selectable ) fighter and new movements, I just have to add new features and my game will be great, they already has 91233 Bytes, and he will be more big??

And happy birthday Crimson?..
