The comp.sys.sinclair Crap Games Competition 2021: 25th edition extravaganza!
Re: The comp.sys.sinclair Crap Games Competition 2021: 25th edition extravaganza!
I don't know enough programming to get characters to move using 5 and 8 so i stick to text adventures or the like. I appreciate being compared to the guys nephew, it shows that i'm improving at least.
Waiting for the review

In Heck, there are two options for perpetual torment:
Eat the Puckerberry and suffer for eternity:
drink nothing but a cocktail of The Last Dab and Mexican Cake blended and served with
habanero slices

Meanwhile, back in the real world, Salvador Camacho's sixth contribution for this year - and fifth for the ZX81 - is Fall Palo T, a Green Challenge demake - if you can call it that - of Dr BEEP's Nohzdyve for the 1K ZX81 with hi-res (which is in turn a demake of a Spectrum game from an episode of Black Mirror). Yes, you heard me correctly: a 16K ZX81 game is a demake of a 1K ZX81 game! Work that one out!

See what I mean?

Re: The comp.sys.sinclair Crap Games Competition 2021: 25th edition extravaganza!
this is my FINAL submission. It works without any errors. My original plan was to cram it into 1k but i used 16k instead. It is by no means finished but I wanted to be sent off on a good note.
The reason for the Input a$ command with the map screen is because i couldn't get it to pause correctly.
I am sure you will something to nitpick about it but, until then, goodbye

END OF WEEK 45:
It's all been put into sharp perspective. When I'm posting these weekly round-ups, I start at Spectrum Computing, move onto World of Spectrum, then here, then the QL Forum, unless I've had a QL submission in which case I'll go there before here. Opening the SC forum, I was greeted with a topic titled "RIP Daren Pearcy". He ran the RZX Archive, which has been actively updated for 19 years, and has been one of the pillars of the Spectrum scene for all that time and more. I've made enough contributions to that site in the past, and I've met him in person, so it hurts. I have had to update the CSSCGC RZX in a way I really didn't want.
In short, this week, there were three entries, all for the 16K ZX81. Salvador Camacho's Fall Palo T was a successful demake of Nohzdyve from the interactive Black Mirror episode, Bandersnatch
{some of this post does not exist}
...and, retrospectively, that was it.
It's been a very hard kick somewhere that it really hurts, but come hell or high water, I will finish this competition. And I will nightly pray to the gods that I have never believed in that I can have just two more months on this planet, two measly months, to close the competition, award the awards, get the world's most dubious prizes sent out to their winners and fulfill all my responsibilities as the guardian of a Sinclair tradition that's a quarter of a century old.

Elsewhere on Sinclair ZX World, Crayon is attempting to make other "games" outside the remit of the CSSCGC, and I'm leaving that to others to put him on the right track. "Line 45... OMG, WTF! RTFM!" said XavSnap, who is French - so, obviously, English isn't his first language - but if he is the one who decided to take on the job of patent tuition so that Crayon may be able to perform simple tasks, so be it. I wish him la plus bonne chance. He'll need it.

On the upside, I've given the Links page a wash and brush up - knowing that I had to change the text for the RZX Archive, I've removed QLAY and added QPC2 and SpecEmu, which are much more useful in their own way.

Just heard about Daren, you have my sympathies. I will pray for his family. I trust you are well
