Are you entering?

YES YES YES! Does it have to be turn based? I wanted to try a real time.

Can I enter with something that I released years ago?

It isn't really good as it's 83 BASIC which can't compare to current day Xlib enhanced games.

Hell yeah, I've been working on Ender's Game for two years! That's great that it happens to be a strategy game when I've already had one in the making!

Go ahead, but remember this is Basic. I think turn based would be easier.

No.

You can't enter a game you've started before the contest. I thought this would be obvious. If you submit a game that took you the past two years to make, obviously you're going to have an unfair advantage over someone who's just started.

Oh yeah, you're right... sorry, that was stupid.

I have a good idea, a game me and my friends made up. Dont worry, we played it on paper and it was never made into a calulator game, or even though about for 5 years. But i want to know if I can write assembly programs to handle graphics/map type things. I dont want to start until I know.

That's why we're not posting the official rules until the contest starts

I've registered for an account but it didn't send me a verification e-mail and the deadline is slowly coming...
