Contest 1
« Thread started on: Mar 3rd, 2007, 12:51pm » |

Hey guys. This isn't a contest that has to do with making games, as GameBASIC is not that powerful yet. Instead it's a contest that has to do with the compiler. The user as voted by the members of this forum that creates the best command for Syntax v0.02 and provides an optional but appreciated C++ translation will receive
1) Their name in the GameBASIC credits permanently
2) The use of their command in GameBASIC
3) A beta copy of the GameBASIC skeleton creator that allows fast creation of games.
4) A title with a new logo called 'Game BASIC Recognized Member'
5) A possible surprise.
6) A definite extra special surprise!

Hmm...
A translation of what I'm thinking might be a bit tough... I'll find out if it's even possible then post my idea.

you do not have to post a translation though it would be helpful.

Im going to start on this in a minute. Since I know a little of C++, and some of C, this is going to be fun to try.

One of my ways is using the select/case command. This should be easy.

One thing to add would be basic shape functions. Things like:
Code:
LINE X1, Y1, X2, Y2
BOX X1, Y1, X2, Y2 [ , FILLED ]
CIRCLE X1, Y1, X2, Y2 [ , FILLED ]
The '[' and ']' characters mean optional (in case you didn't know)
Another thing would be an outline for how you make things move. Something like:
Code:
MOVE charName, X, Y, Z [ , SLIDE ]
Things like that.

Hi.
it should have a special color function for eample:
ColorObject (blue)
FilledCircle \\just for th demo... (it is a filled circle in blue)
EndColorObject
Also i think is should ignore spaces... for example:
C o lo r O bj Ee ct
(also means igonre caps)
Also a random command:
A$ = ""
Input a
If A$ = a then
A$ = Random (circle, bmp : c:\calmbeach, Print "lalala")
End if
(a little like liberty basic but thats what i am basing it of)
