OK, 300 Drachmae and half a dozen Pavlidis Minis, final offer. :lol: Not the dark ones though.

On a completely unrelated note, if anybody is interested in throwing together an AY tune between now & mid December, feel free to drop me a PM & I'll let you know the sort of thing we are after.

@flatduckrecords check your PM box isn't full. That's why it might not be reachable.

As you were :)

Uh, I have something but not hopes to have it ready for the next Woot, sorry. And it's very crap (a bit less crap that my contribution last year, but it's relative), maybe better for the next Crap Compo.

But good luck, waiting for the Woot 8 D

Aye no probs (and I wouldn't call the N3 demo crap!)

If anyone has an unexpected burst of energy, remember a Woot submission doesn't have to be anything big - speccy amuse-bouches are more than welcome :)

I'm after a decent UDG of a sheep. Black pixels on white paper.

01011010
10101111

01010110

If anyone can beat this I'd like to include as part of a Woot gag :–)

Hard to make it out with just 1s and 0s. I find it just makes it look a bit wooly.

I had to scribbled it on a hand-drawn grid and it was like a magic eye. I couldn't see it then a sheep leapt out at me.

@R-Tape , If you're still looking for stuff, I have a silly little game that I just wrote in BASIC.

We've had some cracking submissions so far - thanks all. It's about a month to the deadline if you're still planning on sending anything. Though presumably most of us have already been subjected to tinsel, fairy lights and christmas songs in the shops, so we're well aware of the time.

(A month?! Bloody hell I'd better get cracking too!).

@Jbizzel I think you need to empty your inbox and sentbox before you can receive PMs :dance

Blimey, it's nearly that time of year! I can't wait for this year's release.

OK, little bit of progress on a game. I now have a main sprite moving around, animating, and some scenic graphics done. I wanted to try an Ultimate-like thing with inertia and XOR-Redraw, which was a bit of faff to get working. Need to add things to shoot with and things to shoot at.

Good news, everyone! After finally getting some inspiration I'm working on something right now. And as it's a [MOD] of an old Sinclair Programs listing, crapness is guaranteed. Maybe it'll hold your attention for 1% of the time it will take me to strip the listing into its component pieces and reassemble it in the way I see fit...

Whether I get the jukebox done or not is a different matter, but I'll give it a shot.

Perkele! How hard can it be to unpick someone else's game and modify it... slightly?

Looks like I've done what I need to do, to make it work my way... now for the fun bit, where I will add more extra bells and whistles than the Fat Controller taking the entire rail-based population of the Island of Sodor to visit every cathedral on the mainland... and then taking them through the Channel Tunnel to the Vatican, stopping at the wreckage of Notre Dame on the way. Also, more fluff than in Jabba the Hutt's navel.
