Thats a 19Hr contest


Techlord(Posted 2007) [#3]
@H&K: LOL. Ok, time extended. Get coding!


Vertigo(Posted 2007) [#4]
There are some of us in EST time zone being 1am now, and having 5 hours of sleep plus 8 hour work day... not much of a deadline... I like the idea of a slave coder though. *taps fingers evil like* I have always wanted to completely fill a 32bit signed integer's with pointless data. You know Value0 = 0... Value1 = 1... all the way until the total number of values = the byte length of an int :) Oh and no cheating... I want a fraps shot of you typing them in hahaha.

Deadline has been extended to 2007-09-14 00:00 GMT.


mintybreath(Posted 2007) [#6]
Awesome. My boredom and random idea to make a pong game inspired an entire contest.
Cool. :)


Techlord(Posted 2007) [#7]
@mintybreath: I expect your Pong Game to be the first entry :)


mintybreath(Posted 2007) [#8]
Thanks, but i dont think i qualify. I have been working on it for more than a day. :)
I could help judge, if you need someone for that? =)


Techlord(Posted 2007) [#9]
@mintybreath: Your entry is mandatory! hehe.


Techlord(Posted 2007) [#10]
Time is a tickin! STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING and GET YOUR PONG ENTRIES IN!!!


iprice(Posted 2007) [#11]
Hmm... seems to late for me. I think that's a cool competition but well, I even haven't Blitz3D ^^


mintybreath(Posted 2007) [#12]
I dont think mine would be done in time to tell you the truth..

I am not a coding guru, so making a pong game is a little bit difficult for me. Everything keeps going wrong. I am trying to make a player number thing, saying that

While player$=one$
testAI()
wend

but all it does is make my person not move. I am going to need to figure this out. And i dont think i will do it by the deadline..


Techlord(Posted 2007) [#13]
Deadline has been extended to 2007-09-16 00:00 GMT.
The contest will stay open until we get some more entries!!!

The competition is stiff, B32's Pong is off the chart!!!... and is in first place!!!!!


SoggyP(Posted 2007) [#14]
Hello.



Goodbye


Techlord(Posted 2007) [#15]
@SoggyP: LOL.


Techlord(Posted 2007) [#16]
B32's Pong entry is currently in First Place and I must say one of the best single player pongs I've played in a long time.

Does anyone else dare challenge B32's entry?


mintybreath(Posted 2007) [#17]
Ya b32, that is awesome. Really fun.

Gonna be hard to beat. I dont think i can do it. But ill enter anyway i guess. Ill TRY to.


Jerome Squalor(Posted 2007) [#18]
mine is almost ready!!

my brain hurts from all the coding! :P


Techlord(Posted 2007) [#19]
The 24 Hour Pong Making Contest has been extended to The 168 Hour Pong Making Contest!!! --> 2007-09-18 00:00 GMT.

Kip's enters with a strong 3D version of Pong.


b32(Posted 2007) [#20]
Looks nice, Kip!


Yo! Wazzup?(Posted 2007) [#21]
Darn it I mightve entered but Kip's is too good *sob*
(Dunno what I would use the prize for either)


big10p(Posted 2007) [#22]
I would've liked to do a vector version of Pong using my vector entity lib - unfortunately, it's not finished, yet. :)


Jerome Squalor(Posted 2007) [#23]
thnx everyone!


mintybreath(Posted 2007) [#24]
Kip, that was awesome. I dont think mine will stand a chance when i enter it.

:)
Edit:

Mine is almost ready, the only problem is i am not very familiar with the in program drawing that blitz offers. I was using images i made in Corel Paintshop before the contest. I need to figure out how to do the create images command, or whatever i use to draw images, to substitute for the current images.

Would i just be able to enter mine as a save game file folder? I doubt i would win because my paddles and ball look OK.
Either that or some help?


Techlord(Posted 2007) [#25]
If we don't get more entries i will be forced to enter this contest. hehe.


Techlord(Posted 2007) [#26]
@Yo! Wazzup?: Cluck, Cluck, Cluck
Are you Chicken? Hope NOT, get your entry in here!!!!

@mintybreath: Where. . . are. . . you ? ? ?


Yo! Wazzup?(Posted 2007) [#27]
Yep, I'm chicken, can't make a pong game anyway o.O


Techlord(Posted 2007) [#28]
mintybreath's enters the Contest with a Colorful Contender. Awesome work!!!

Yep, I'm chicken, can't make a pong game anyway o.O

mintybreath(Posted 2007) [#29]

Judges: Blitz Community. Cast your Votes here.


Ok... I vote for Kip!


mintybreath(Posted 2007) [#31]
I dont think i can vote because i entered.

If i could, i think it would be.. B32.

i liked both, but B32 was alot different then the normal pong game.


Techlord(Posted 2007) [#32]
I have a entry buts its only 75% complete. I will only enter into the competition with the permission of the other contestants.

PS: Can someone help me with testing my Pong game over the Internet???


mintybreath(Posted 2007) [#33]
I have no problem with you entering the contest.


Jerome Squalor(Posted 2007) [#34]
go ahead


Techlord(Posted 2007) [#35]

mintybreath(Posted 2007) [#36]
I tried it, but it said a function could not be found..

dunno if that is just my computer or something?


Techlord(Posted 2007) [#37]
The primary Blitz files are HPv1.2.bb (Lib), HP_Game.bb (Server), and HP_Player.bb (Client).

To test the Server/Client locally: Run the HP_Game Server, followed by the HP_Player Client within the Blitz3D IDE.

Please provide a timeframe (GMT) when you are available, so, that we can test together. Sincerely, appreciate your assistance.


mintybreath(Posted 2007) [#38]
Ok cool...

Im in school right now. Computers Class, but ill post later when i can get on. :)

I was trying to add online to mine, but it confused me too much. :D


Jerome Squalor(Posted 2007) [#39]
WHO WON?!?!?!?!?!?
TELL US ALREADY!
PLEASE!


Yo! Wazzup?(Posted 2007) [#40]
Nobody voted yet, and FPS has't turned in his entry. Wait--- maybe FPS is taking so long to do it so his is the best, then he will get the prize and won't have to code for anyone. Smart person LOL jk


mintybreath(Posted 2007) [#41]
He did turn his in though.


Jerome Squalor(Posted 2007) [#42]
He did?


Techlord(Posted 2007) [#43]
Guys, I was waiting for someone to help test my network code that is 75% complete. A few unexpected real world issue have popped up. However, if i can get some help on the network testing I will complete it and submit it.

Otherwise everyone is welcomed to vote without my entry.


Techlord(Posted 2007) [#44]
PS: I know who I'm voting for. hehe.


Jerome Squalor(Posted 2007) [#45]
