christmas prog. comp. – crazyishone

crazyishone Member Posts: 1685 From: Registered: 08-25-2004	yah, so pretty much this is self-explanatory. its a comptetion of who can make the best program by the end of 1 week. the comp ends next saturday. no real criteria...it can do anything. doesnt have to be a game. it can be command line. doesnt matter. we'll vote right here on the site, and I along with {some volunteer} will judge as well. so u can win the pop. vote and/or the jugding. winners' prize: nothing more than respect and experience. ------------------ yah. i should think of something funny, amusing, or wise.... not right now. too taxing on my feeble and exhausted mind.

crazyishone Member Posts: 1685 From: Registered: 08-25-2004	i said it could be command line i u want it to be. its more about the prog itself, tho good gfx will prob get you more votes from the people. As a judge, i won't take off points for no GUI, but if some1 else has the same kind of prog as u (christmas spending tracker, perhaps?), and they have a GUI...they're gonna get more points. see what I mean? ------------------ yah. i should think of something funny, amusing, or wise.... not right now. too taxing on my feeble and exhausted mind.
buddboy Member Posts: 2220 From: New Albany, Indiana, U.S. Registered: 10-08-2004	Yah that's what I meant... Guess I'll have to get coding.. Wish I actually knew enough code to make something useful lol!! i have a chance tho... <EDIT> We could have divisions so a game isn't competing against a Christmas spending tracker... Cuz everyone likes games... Whatever..</EDIT> ------------------ In the stock market, you must buy high and sell low...Wait! That's not right! -------------- Yes, I can be intelligent at times!!

Ereon Member Posts: 1018 From: Ohio, United States Registered: 04-12-2005	If I get enough work done on my flight sim project I'll post it in as well. the idea is to make a WWII fighter MMORPG eventually, but the single player is almost playable. BTW, I'm still working on Soul Catcher, just struggling with some level design tool issues. This is just a side project. Alot of cool stuff though, like real time reflection in the cockpit glass and really cool smoke, engines that can flame out, oh and explosions (always a fan favorite) All the sound and textures work, and you can fly the plane, no enemies or particle effects yet though. ------------------

crazyishone Member Posts: 1685 From: Registered: 08-25-2004	well, my program is making progress, but I don't think it will be done in time... I'm considering releasing a beta. Is there anything more primitive than beta? is alpha more or less advanced in the dev. process? whichever one means super basic general idea, thats the one you will see. ------------------ from the moment we are born, we begin dying.
Jari Member Posts: 1471 From: Helsinki, Finland Registered: 03-11-2005	alpha would be more primitive than beta.

buddboy Member Posts: 2220 From: New Albany, Indiana, U.S. Registered: 10-08-2004	I keeep getting the same error.. expecting end-of-file.. it's coded in Blitz... problem is I asked for help on here and nobody could figure out anything wrong with it... I put it in the new game posting i started... Do you have a Blitz compiler? If you do, can I send you the source and you see if it will work for you or if you can fix it? (I hate to ask for help, but I would really like to have a chance at winning the first comp i participate in...it would be cool) ------------------ In the stock market, you must buy high and sell low...Wait!

Klumsy Administrator Posts: 1061 From: Port Angeles, WA, USA Registered: 10-25-2001	ok here is my entry, its about 5 meg download, most of that being the song. it may not run right on all computers here are so possible problems.. 1) on some graphics cards, you may see squares instead of objects sometimes 2) in the stars part , the background might be a whiteblue rather than black 3) the music might stutter on slower computeres 4) the timing will be messed up on a pentium M other than that enjoy i only had about 3 hours to knock this together so its definately not polished and has some bugs, maybe i'll fix some of the abovementioned bugs after the fact. it lasts about 4 minutes I know the music isn't christmassy, but really it is about christ in a serious way so its christmassy to me, and has the message i want to potray, excuse the audio quality as we'd just recorded it with only vocals and a keyboard in a hurry , more as a demo than anything. (song written and sung by a church friend of ours)... the photo of my daughter i thought just went well with it, though that is 2 christmas's ago now.. i just noticed in the form i accidently put 2006 instead of 2005, oh well i can't compile it again now.. http://www.godcentric.com/CCNDEMO/GCchristmas.zip cheers, Karl ------------------ Karl /GODCENTRIC Visionary Media the creative submitted to the divine.

crazyishone Member Posts: 1685 From: Registered: 08-25-2004	well, the reason i have been slack with the deadline goes along with what you are saying. it's nice to see apps being dev.'d by people on this site. mine wont be done in time anyway, so I have given up on making the deadline, lol. Anyway, whoever the other person was that said they would judge, go ahead when u feel like it. I am still working on a consistent internet connection (installed new OS, kubuntu linux.) You will have my descisions on New Years. Sorry to hold up those of you that have finished, but I'd like to see as many apps as possible. You guys are turning out great work. After this we should set up a more long term programming/app creation competition, as lava had suggested.

[B]best game::[\B] tho i was impressed by lava's adventure demo and have high hopes for him, i really liked jari's game. It was like ...early doom/quake gameplay....with atari graphics...and christian principles..

crazyishone Member Posts: 1685 From: Registered: 08-25-2004	ooh, they werent. just the maze style level gave it similar gameplay::: i.e. u can only see so far down a hallway, and other stuff like that. It just felt the same, play-wise, as some of the first FPS levels were built.... i know, i know, doesnt make sense. try to bear with me. ------------------ "quote" -quote man.

crazyishone Member Posts: 1685 From: Registered: 08-25-2004	haha, nice. what did you write that in? i imagine u did it in c++, but u mentioned GUI....so.... perhaps i am wrong about the c++ (just from my knowledge of your skill level....around the same as mine) ------------------ "quote" -quote man.
buddboy Member Posts: 2220 From: New Albany, Indiana, U.S. Registered: 10-08-2004	yah i did it in C++, that's about all I know (except a little BLITZBasic... but not much) I didn't know how complicated a GUI was at the time, plus i was just wondering about the specifics... besides the point tho... ------------------ In the stock market, you must buy high and sell low...Wait!

crazyishone Member Posts: 1685 From: Registered: 08-25-2004	yes, im still on chap 7 of the same book u have. i had to stop for the holidays. family was over and there was nowhere to lock myself in and read. GUI seems much easier in Blitz than it will be for me in C++. oh well. i've got lots of time now. ------------------ "quote" -quote man.
buddboy Member Posts: 2220 From: New Albany, Indiana, U.S. Registered: 10-08-2004	lol, i don't know how to do a GUI even in Blitz, but now i don't use Blitz anymore, as of today, i got rid of my BlitzPlus demo... i was using it for the xmas comp but it wouldn't work... ------------------ In the stock market, you must buy high and sell low...Wait!

crazyishone Member Posts: 1685 From: Registered: 08-25-2004	haha, i did the same thing. lol. But a GUI in blitz seemed like it owuld be easy to me. perhaps i wasnt seeing some big complication. ? ------------------ Instant Messengers are the scourge of productivity.
buddboy Member Posts: 2220 From: New Albany, Indiana, U.S. Registered: 10-08-2004	huh? so do you know how to do a GUI in Blitz? I don't really care anymore anyways... I don't use it lol!!

crazyishone Member Posts: 1685 From: Registered: 08-25-2004	haah, i dont evn think they cover it in C++ for dummies. you'll have to go pick up a book on Visual C++ after learning the command line stuff. ------------------ Instant Messengers are the scourge of productivity.
buddboy Member Posts: 2220 From: New Albany, Indiana, U.S. Registered: 10-08-2004	yah i know... but i don't use Visual C++, but i guess same principle applies.. but i will need to learn all the command-line stuff first!
