Game programming competition....

Post by song »

Hi, I notice that there is a game programming competition. The game theme of the competition is Halloween. In fact, participant can use any programming language to make game. Perhaps some of you may want to join this competition.!

Probably a bit late now as there is only two weeks to go.
Apart from a couple of games like "Toad on Fire" I am not sure how many FreeBasic game programmers there are left?
Haven't they all moved on to other languages designed for writing games?

I still dabble in making games. I am no good at it, but I am trying to get better.

Not good at the code or not good on the ideas?
As you might notice I have spent some time on the basic mechanics of a game but never wrote a large game myself.
There are so many games out there any game, unless particularly special or well promoted, will tend to be lost.
I see the Halloween theme is well used.

Mostly ideas. If you look at the stuff I have posted lately it is mostly engine/helper stuff. I obsess over the HOW and end up struggling with the WHAT.

I did a Halloween facsimile , but I cannot believe six years have since passed.

32 bit fbc now and then.

I haven't aged too much, but have less teeth, and require specs for close up things.
