I was going through all the games on the FBGF and I noticed there were no driving games! Does this sound like a challenge or future competition to anyone else?

No Driving Games in FBGD?!

I've got absolutely no free time at the moment, which is why I'm just popping in here for 5 minutes every now an again, but if someone wants to organise a challenge, I'll put up the prize money as follows:
1st Prize - 50 GBP
Two Runner's up prizes of 25 GBP
Or if you want to allocate the 100 GBP differently then that's fine by me.
Ideally, if the judging were to finish around the end of February that would be better for me, as I'm likely to be away quite a bit over the next few weeks.

Well I think a beginner challenge needs to be more than 2 days. At least 7-14 days for a good attempt. Especially those of us that work for a living! :-)

Shees, let's make a 5 minute challenge!
Anyway, what about Caddy's Rampage? Heh, since the darn FBGD (FBGF?) was your source I see how you made that mistake. :P
But seriously, I wasn't sure where to put Caddy's Rapage. It isn't really a proper driving game. Strangely enough, not many driving games in QBasic too. I know only of 8, 2 of which are proper ones (Groov Buggies, Ghini Run). I assume they are not that easy to code as one would think. Otherwise we would have more of them.
Yeah, I'm for a challenge, but definitely not a super-short one. Those compos never produce anything noteworthy.

How is OpenGL and SDL considered beginner? These comps are supposed to showcase the power and features of FreeBASIC IMHO. This is where I start to vote on the side of restrictions.HD_ wrote:I agree. I would like to be able to use OpenGL and possibly SDL if I wanted.So, what kind of restrictions would this impose? I'm for it, but not if it's got severe restrictions like the other competitions. ;)

Using FMOD or FBSound is one thing, because FB doesn't really have any native abilities to play sound/music well. But FB does have a very robust gfx library so I would propose a challenge within these guidelines. I, for one, am fully capable of making a game within these boundaries (And I will, regardless of any competition).
