| I'll enter. But don't expect anything extremely graphical. |

Sounds fine.
Remember, all "idea entries" are due 3/26/06! This is VERY simple and is provided on our site. You can read the rules online here. |

| When you say "we will test them on an emulator" do you mean that you don't actually have a 68k calculator? |

| Exactly what we mean. We have TI-83+'s and TI-84+SE. |

| Then I sincerely hope that you're using the OS's and not a ROM, as that wouldn't be legal. |

Back Pocket Calc will make sure that we follow the rules. Thanks for reminding us.
So, is there anyone here that will help us publicize this contest? |

Alright, something in there looked a little suspicious to me.
Quote: This file should be formatted in ASCII Text (no html, rtf, etc.)
This file must contain the following:
- Description of all included files in the archive.
- Instructions for Installing, and Using the program.
- If program requires an assembly library such as (Omnicalc, XLib, etc.) and if so which.
- Credits to Authors for any code contained in the program that was not written by yourself.
- Any addition information you find pertinent or wish to include
Now, I copied and pasted that directly from http://www.backpocketcalc.com/?q=contestrules
This tickled an old memory so I went back and checked, yup, that's exactly what you did too- from http://basiccontest.unitedti.org/rules.php 
I don't know where else you did this, this is the only bit I caught -- but maybe you should actually bother to write your own rules next time? :?
[EDIT]
Ahh:
Quote: Some of these contest rules have come from other contests that have been held, in order to streamline the contest process. These include United TI’s Basic Contest and Detached Solution’s ASM Contest.
Sorry, didn't notice that. However, I'm still of the opinion that that doesn't make it right- at the very least you should have asked permission.

No prob re: SourceCoder and the 1337. Just don't let JPez get to you, he can be a bit territorial sometimes.  |

Yeah, our db got corrupted. WE are fixing it.
About the permission- I figured they wouldn't mind. Sorry to anyone who would. At least we credited them. We wanted to streamline the process for all.
And it's the only place we did that. The rest is just ideas "stolen" from other contests. |

Several questions/statements:
1.) I already finished the game, without actually coming up with the idea seperately. That is, I programmed the game pretty much immediately after I came up with the idea (I tend to do that, or I lose my ideas). Is that OK?
2.) I'd rather not give my name out, First or Last. Would the pseudoname 'Thanatos' be fine?
3.) Ditto goes to the description information. I pretty much am paranoid that way, and the only things I'll tell you are the things everyone else on the IRC channels know.
4.) Go on the IRC channels. It's much better than the forums, in my opinion. That way, you'll be able to talk to the UTI/Omnimaga members, and get some help from Weregoose & Others at #Optimize.
5.) Like I said, the program is already done and made. I will be including a .txt about how to play the game, although it should not be hard to pick up. Seeing as how I have no Calc <-> PC link cable, the entire program is in a .txt file. I think that's how you wanted it originally? Because your rules include adding to the .txt file on how to 'install' the game? Might help to clarify this.
Other than that, thanks. Oh, BTW. If any of you have AIM, It'd be great to chat with you guys. Also, it'd be my preferred method of sending you the file and generally telling you ANYTHING about me. Or on the IRC channel. Whatever you prefer.
I'm done. |

I can't use the IRC channel on my computer.
If you write a works cited page in MLA format you should be legal and UTI couldn't sue. |

To Thanatos:
1.) As long as it hasn't already been released, you can submit most anything.
2.) Pseudonames are fine, but a first name would be nice. However, we understand privacy.
3.) Description information can just be a little bit about you. What you like to do, why you call yourself Thanatos, and a bit of your programming history should be good. That should be acceptable to you, as it doesn't reveal anything. This is so that, if you win, we know somewhat about you, which would make us feel a little bit more comfortable about having a stranger on our site, posting to the front page.
4.) Thanks for the tip!
5.) If it's in a .txt file, please convert it using one of the SourceCoders. By the .txt file, we mean a basic readme file that comes with most programs. Please use the format that we described. If you have any questions, you can PM me on the TICALCS2 forums, email me, or PM me at any of the other forums I am on. My email is birdmanx35@gmail.com.
I have AIM- try commonercast or birdmanx35. |

Not if they followed my advice and swapped to using the OS. |
