People,
TWO LINERS GP
RULES
Yep! Let's shake the MSX scenery. So, we decided to create the Two
Liners GP, which will choose the best two lines program, into any
of these classes: Utility, One Line, Game or Demo/Fun, all of them
written in MSX-Basic.
There will be four classes, although there will be needed to create
another classes:
Utilities : Programs which you can use to do little tasks. These
little pieces of code should be really useful, please
do not write a program which changes all occurrencies
of 'duck' by 'ape' into a textfile.
Games : Programs which can be used as relaxing and pleasure.
You can have any game: Action, adventure, strategy,
etc.
Demo/Fun : Programs which can't be classified as above, so they
aren't useful and playable either, but you can have
fun with them, using sound and graphic effects, etc.
The prizes weren't chosen yet, but all the programs will be placed
on the free disk "Food for your MSX #2", from the zine MSX Force.
The best will be chosen based on objective avaliations like size,
program's logic, performance and subjective avaliations like ease
of use, etc.
The best programs (in each category: Utility, Game and Demo/Fun)
will receive a prize. There will be the people's choice too, where
everybody can vote and say which program is the best (when the
subscription's period will be finished, all the program will be
put on a homepage where can be taken and used), and finally, the
special prize to the smallest (SMALLEST) one line program.
You can send almost three programs per class (nine programs in the
end). The judges can send programs too, but they can only have
subcribed software into the 'People's Choice' category.
So, you should write down this paper below and send it to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject "% Two Liner GP", in order
to avoid problems with the mailing filter. So, you'll receive a mail
telling that your program had been subscribed to the GP. Please send
your program as a compressed file (ZIP, ARJ, RAR, PMA, Gzip or
LHA), attached (UUencode, MIME or BinHex), with your first, last
name or nickname (the way that you're best known).

The deadline is July, 15h. Then the softwares will be examined (from
July 16th to 22th), and finally, in the 3rd MSX User's National
Encounter/Brasilia 98 (July 25th to 26th) the results will be told.
But first, please read some considerations:
* Any BASIC extensions won't be allowed, like KunBASIC and its
similars, like NestorBASIC, XBASIC, Turbo-Basic, Screen IV, etc.,
as any external commands implemented by any cartdriges. You can
use the CALL commands which are related to:
- MSX-DOS (_SYSTEM, etc..);
- MSX-DOS 2 (_SYSTEM(), _CHDRV, etc...);
- JIS Driver (KANJI ROM);
- MSX MUSIC and MSX AUDIO (FM PAC and Music Module) or other
audio card;
- MSX-BASIC own extensions, like _PCMREC, _PCMPLAY, _PAUSE, from
Turbo-R.
* The program can't read from the disk-drive any external executable
module, musics, Assembly routines, character fonts, pre-drawed
screens, etc.
* The program should be 100% MSX-Basic, it won't be allowed to use
any BIOS routine or Assembly files.
* You can use any VDP and PSG commands, you can use any commands like
SET ADJUST, SET SCROLL, _MUSIC, etc.
Any doubts, please send us a mail.
