Two new compos at QBTK

[Pyrodap]

There are two new qb-compos coming to QBTK!

The WEEKLY COMPO:
Every week we'll have a new competition. Idea's will be proposed by people, voted upon, and coding will commense!

The first weekly compo:

November 29th to December 5th

Okay, I'll start off the weekly compo, just to get us rolling. The goal for this compo is to make an ascii-based platform engine! Now, if you want to make a whole game then be my guest, but for this compo all that's required is a character to be able to jump around a bit and achieve some goal. The goal can be just to get to a certain location on the map or find an item, avoid an enemy (NPCs aren't required) or anything you want. Simple right?

RULES:
*No graphics
*No libraries
*Contained in a single file
*The character must achieve some goal

All entries must be recieved by December 5th, and then we can vote on the entries.

Enjoy!

THE QBTK BI-MONTHLY COMPETITION!!

The first QBTK BI-MONTHLY COMPETITION will begin on December 1st!!! We need suggestions QUICKLY so preparations can commence!!!! THIS COMPO'S GUNNA BE BIG!!

Two months of coding, and when finished, the best of the best will be given the QBTK BI-MONTHLY COMPETITION CROWN for two months. But the winner will have to defend his or her title, because another compo will start immediately afterwards!

That ASCII platform game challenge sounds really cool.  Maybe if I find some spare time in the next two weeks, I'll make an entry.  (Probably not, though.  It will be finals week at my college....if there was a longer deadline, though, maybe.)

If you posted this news just a few hours earlier, I could have included news about it in QB Express.  Toooooo bad.

ALSO: Did this post screw up the front page layout for anyone else?  Hopefully it's not just me.

Yeah it was to do with the quote block being split half way. I just posted a quick summary and a link to here to fix it.
