I'll try to enter this one, right now I have no ideas, and I have a feeling
that free time might be a problem in the immediate future, but, well see.


EDIT: No I will not participate in this one, I seem to lack programming
motivation in general...

[Dio]

this is the first thing that came to mind: (which evadently is usally a bad thing)

FB:

Code:

? "RULES:"
? "press the space bar when you are over a gap."
? "to exit, press Esc key"
dim cb(1000)
sleep 5000
screen 13,,,1:randomize timer
line (0,0)-(319,199),2,b
for y = 0 to 197 step 2
line (0,y)-(319,y),2
x = int((314-4+1)*rnd+4)
if y > 0 then line (x-2,y)-(x+4,y),0
next
for y = 197 to 198
for x = 1 to 318 step 2
  if x = 1 and y = 198 then x = x +1
  pset (x,y),15
next
next
get (1,197)-(318,198),cb
x = 1:y = 1
windowtitle "I rule!"
dc = 15
do
  setmouse 0,0,0
  if y = 197 or y = 198 then locate 8,16:print "YOU WIN!" :SLEEP :END
  ox = x
  if a = 0 then x = x + 1:if x = 319 then a = 1
  if a = 1 then x = x - 1:if x = 1 then a = 0
  for dlay = 0 to 10000000:next
  pset (ox,y),bgd:pset (x,y),dc
  press$ = inkey$
  if press$ = chr$(27) then end
  if press$ = " " then
    if point (x,y+1) = bgd then pset (x,y),bgd:y = y +2 :goto 1
    if point (x,y+1) <> bgd then
      cc = point (0,0)
      select case cc
        case 2
          for cy = 0 to 199
          for cx = 0 to 319
            if point (cx,cy) = 2 then pset (cx,cy),44
            if point (cx,cy) = 0 then pset (cx,cy),15:dc = 0:bgd = 15
           
          next
          next
          put (1,197),cb,pset
        case 44
          for cy = 0 to 199
          for cx = 0 to 319
            if point (cx,cy) = 44 then pset (cx,cy),4:dc = 15:bgd = 0
            if point (cx,cy) = 15 then pset (cx,cy),0:
          next
          next
          put (1,197),cb,pset

        case 4
          locate 8,16:? "YOU LOSE!":SLEEP :end
      end select
    end if
  end if
1
loop

edit: update
edit: i'm really obsessive as it turns out.

I'll be entering this compo (have some work to do before I have something to show)

That game you posted there looks interesting, but it's far to small in windowed mode to play

[moochthemonkey]

Are brain waves allowed to play the game?

If so...I might be able to enter a challenge for the first time..

yeah i know, that's what Alt + Enter are for.

speaking of which, how would i get it to open fullscreen automatically?

Simple solution

Code:

screen 13, , , 1
do:loop until inkey$="g"

Hehe I'll think of a game. I was going to enter the old one but didn't

I was going to enter the old one but didn't

Me too :) I had an awesome game called the running man, where you had to make a man jump over obstacles while running. Pretty tricky, but fun none the less :D

Rules question:
Could mouse clicks be used as the "one key" if only the status of the mouses buttons were monitored?  Positioning of the mouse wouldn't matter, only the fact that it was clicked.

[whitetiger0990]

Couldn't you easily replace that with a keyboard key?
