RE: Contest Idea
My 0.02 cents also...
I'd like to see an ascii-based or mode 19 DOS game contest...
With an added restriction for no external libraries, and a command-count
restriction.
Emphasis is on the playability, features, and 'fun' of the game, not speed,
graphical wizardry, or number of obscure tweaks beneath the hood.
Mind you, I'm biased towards something I have a chance to compete in.
