Cool, wish I could program ;p but can't wait to see the results!

If I wasn't so darn busy lately I could try to whip up something like that...oh well.

Excellent news, good things always come out of competitions like this

You double-posted this on the front page. Evildragon beat you to it.

This seems like fun

Kojote, a lot of Game 'n' Watch devices have static graphics printed over the LCD, in various colours, to make things a bit prettier. Any chance of relaxing the "only 2 colours" rule to allow more colours for static graphics/background, but only one colour for the "LCD elements"?

Just a suggestion

 

[Kojote]

I heared this suggestion already, but i want to know who can deal best with the 2 color limit

 

[Sdw]

OK, so it's 2 cols only, and this applies to the intro screen aswell?

 

[mattmagoo]

remember its only 2 @ a time, so u can use as many different colours as u like but only 2 at a time, which means u could use illusions to make it appear as if there were more colours at once

BTW: Does white count as a colour, or will the background need to be similar to the lightish brown on the G&Ws

 

[Kojote]

black and white does count as colors

No fair, using ICQ is cheating!

I dunno how people like Evildragon are able to post News so fast it is supernatural.

Is this a "Who can post news faster"-competition?
Kojote is a good friend of me - and if you take a look at the page, you find me listed in the jury... easy to be faster that way

Don't worry, there'll surely be news where you are faster than me

And... using ICQ is smart

 

[mattmagoo]

black and white does count as colors

so the background colour counts as a colour? Which means u can only really use 1 colour

do u reckon i could use a Gigas Engine game if it was cleverly adapted so it wasnt a bog standard RPG

 

[Kojote]

don't forget that it needs a intro too. not sure if you can do that with gigas...

 

[mattmagoo]

yeah u can have an intro in gigas now, so am I allowed to, obviously i will give the prixe to Pirotic WHEN I win

 

[Tobriand]

Oh, of course... cut scenes

Actually, a 2-colour GIGAS game could be quite interesting. I suppose you;d technically have to send it to Pirotic, though, to get it FXE converted, so as to remove the multi-colour menu for selecting the game, though... Or am I being simply pedantic?
