New Contest, Lance?

[airship]

I see it's been June since the last contest. Despite the dearth of entries for the previous two, how about another one, Lance?

And to foster more participation, how about making it SUPER easy, yet super challenging?

I propose a pure BASIC 7.0 one-liner contest. No SYS's, no PEEKs, no POKEs. Just BASIC. 40-column, 80-column, SID, utility, game, whatever. No holds barred.

This should make it possible for everyone to participate. I think that each of us should challenge himself to write the best one-liner WE'VE ever written. Never mind the fact that someone else is a '1337 kodur' and you know you're not. Don't worry if anyone else is going to write something 'better'. Just try to do something clever and interesting using what YOU know. I think the challenge for the '1337' guys is going to be sticking with pure BASIC. And for the rest of us, it's going to be doing something interesting in that short a space.

What do you think, Lance?

If this contest works out, we could expand it to TWO lines next time! Or keep it to one line and allow SYS's, PEEKs, and POKEs! The possibilities are finite!

There's already another going, isn't there? The Arcade Game Programming Competition, with a 30th November deadline. You could submit a one-line BASIC 7.0 program as your entry, as long as it's an arcade game.

That's something I'd like to see!

Actually next one might be a pic or SID contest I'm thinking.

cheers,

Why did I think there was no contest going on? Turns out you have to actually READ the other posts before you type your own.

Live and learn.
