“Write a game in 10 lines of BASIC” is the slogan of the fourth BASIC tenliners development contest. In 2011 and 2013 the contest was an internal competiton of the retro computer meeting NOMAM in Lübeck / Germany, but a lot of contributions came from all around the world in 2014 and only one was produced live on the meeting. So if you are able to develop a BASIC program for one of the following systems, you can send in your contribution (other BASIC dialects are approved if you show your program on the original hardware live on the NOMAM meeting at 11.04.2015):

Systems:

  • Atari 8-Bit
  • Commodore 64
  • Commodore 128
  • Amstrad CPC

Authorized BASIC dialects:

  • Atari BASIC (A8)
  • Turbo BASIC XL (A8)
  • Altirra BASIC (A8)
  • OSS BASIC XE (A8)
  • OSS BASIC XL (A8)
  • Commodore BASIC V2 (C64)
  • Simon’s BASIC (C64)
  • Commodore BASIC 7.0 (C128)
  • Locomotive BASIC 1.0 (Amstrad CPC)
  • Locomotive BASIC 1.1 (Amstrad CPC)

You will find more information about the BASIC tenliners contest in the CPCWiki forums.

The 16k ROM game development competition is over and we have 4 new ROM games for the Amstrad CPC. Great work!!! Now it is time, to download the games, play it on your CPC and vote for them in the CPCWiki forums. Unfortunately not all competition entries were finished in time, but anyway a big “Thank you” to all participants. Let’s hope that some of the other entries will be finished some day, too.

And this are the competition entries:

After seeing some successful competitions on other platforms, SyX thought that it is a good idea to start a ROM game development competiton. The reason for the 16k limit is to open the compo for more participants, because small games are more probable to get finished than big games. Another reason for the ROM game competition is, that we have a lot of ROM boards around these days (e.g. the Megaflash or the Symbiface II) and we are also able to produce new cartridges for the Amstrad Plus since the ACID chip was reverse engineered, but we are missing more ROM games. You can read more about the competition (e.g. the rules, the prizes, some example code, etc.) in the CPC Wiki forums.

So if you have a great idea for a game, it is a good time to start working on it now Smiley.
