I only see a negative point in the game:

Anyone who can have a tenth as much fun playing this game as I did writing and programming it (even the really frustrating bits that didn't work first, second, third, fourth or fifth time round), you're doing well. You have been warned about the crap bits already!
Now... it looks like I may have eight months to plan how I'm going to host CSSCGC21, at this rate. I have ideas...

Re: CSSCGC 2020
Download this game for the backstory, if nothing else. I was going to say it took longer to write than the game itself, but that would be an utter lie.
What took the longest was bolting all three programs together into the 4K RAM Pack Super Deluxe Edition and making it work properly! (For various parameters of "properly", since this is a ZX80 we're talking about.)

I don't want to think of what kind of edutainment you're getting from those; all those titles sound quite sinister to me.catmeows wrote: ↑Thu May 07, 2020 12:43 pmHa, edutainment!!!

Sorry, it was not funny, I have watched Sasha Cohen's Dictator yesterday and may mood tends to be little Aladeen today. Peace.

Information about the CSSCGC
Hello all,
My computer's hard disk failed this morning, and as a consequence, I have lost most of my files. I have been making backup copies of the CSSCGC data on a flash-drive, so nothing pertaining to the competition has been destroyed. However, I will have to re-install my software and also try to recover what I can of the rest of my stuff, so if you've sent me an email recently, please bear with me for the next few days, as I won't be able to answer it straight away.
Regards,
John

Re: CSSCGC 2020
It's a God's signal. Your hard disk is doomed.
I shouldn't have sent you my last game.
Don't re-install anything, burnt the HD and forget I had sent you the game!

Re: CSSCGC 2020
That's awful; hope you get it sorted.
Has just given me an idea for a crap game, though... A disc defragmentation game, were you manually have to move the blocks around on screen to get them into one long continuous block.
That sort of programming is beyond me, though... So someone else can make it.

Re: CSSCGC 2020
I used to strangely enjoy watching disk defragmenter on Windows. Obviously in the new world of SSD drives you should not use defragmentation.
There are two main reasons. The first relates to the lack of performance benefits, which is, after all, the entire point of defragmentation. The second reason has to do with the health of your SSD. It turns out that defragging an SSD can shorten its life.
Sounds like a good game idea though.
Sorry to hear about your drive failure [mention]PROSM[/mention]
