As there are literally no competions round here anymore, I'm gunna try to jumpstart it again.
The aim
The aim of this competion is to make any game, where the entire display is on a textbox, so everything on the entire game is made up of text in a textbox. Heres a game I'm gunna be working on for this, so you get the idea (ignor the numbers, there only there for debugging purposes). By the way, this is much harder than it looks.
The rules
- Only one text box.
- You text box can be put there in the authoring enviroment, or made using AS.
- You cant edit the TB's properties (other than its text). So you cant change its _x's and _y's.
- Any game is OK.
- Nothing can appear on screen other than text in that one textbox.
- Any version of AS is alowed.
- Loads of brownie points if anyone can make a game in the output box.
Tips
- Courier new is the best font to use, as all the characters are the same length.
- There are 54 courier new size 16 characters in one line for a 550px width textbox (what a mouthful)
- Dont use spacebars, they get extreemly confusing as flash doesnt create a new line for them.
I'll judge them (or if a respectable non compeeting judge wants to judge them, please say) and say the winners on the 17th of june sometime (which is next sunday).
Good luck!
