RavenOfCode · 07:24 PM

To make the forums more interesting, I thought a contest would be nice

Rules:
1. Max game size is 2 MB for more advanced programmers try to get 1 MB

2. All entries due by Sat. Jan. 17th
3. Forum Poll will judge
4. The game play must be longer than 1 minute

Have fun and good luck,
RavenOfCode

A 1 megabit limit might cause a few problems

I'm pretty sure he meant 1MB :P And it is a good idea. Maybe have a few more rules added.

Like the game needs at least an ending of some sort(game overs would count)

Must have the ability to reset the game and play without using the restart button that Alice gives.

Game has the ability to be played longer than a minute.

Game played longer than a minute is a good suggestion. However I think beyond that isn't necessary as that will just make people like it less.

The only problem with 1 MB is the game is still going to have to be very simple. there isn't much you can do. I would say make it 3 MB. That would allow for some better and more worthwhile games.

Thats kinda the point of the game, is a simple game, to make it more fun you need to be creative with what Alice gives you and create a small but fun game.
Its not supposed to be a wowing game (even though that is possible) but the best game for a very small size.

I did this once before when I was in an Alice class, my original game was only 157 KBs and still fun
