In this forum you can write about anything that does not fit in other forums.
This includes generic Oric talkings and things that are totaly unrelated but want to share with people here :)

Lovebyte party - size coding

Post by Dbug »

If you ever wanted to give a shot at size coding, you have up to next friday to send your entries to the http://lovebyte.party I had totally skipped the date (I thought it was in may), but I should at least have a 256 bytes entry for the Oric (granted, it's a variation of an older one, so don't expect miracles).

Wow, this is challenging - I definitely will not have time to make something so small that is in any way interesting!

You probably know this quote by Blaise Pascal which is why I cannot consider it..
“Please forgive the long letter; I didn’t have time to write a short one.” :lol:

But I wish you best of luck! :)

No need to get luck, I'm not planning to win anything, I'm just trying to at least have one oric entry in the party :)

Well, short code is certainly not my specialty ;-) My ambition is 'working and not too slow' code for now :D Never made a career in programming after hobbying in BASIC as a kid (became an auditor instead, so I am the person that triggers you to write documentation you never had and you will never use nor maintain after I am gone). And only recently started to hobby somewhat in programming again.
But good luck to the elite coders here.

The deadline for the 256 bytes compo is today at midnight CET, hopefully I will be done by that time :)

The category was "16x16 pixels" using the "Sweetie 16" color palette.

Only made #25 out of 35 entries, but I've learnt a lot about what people like and don't like, so maybe I'll give another attempt one of these days, but spending the proper amount of time on visuals and audio :)

Also, it would be a DSK so I don't lose 14 bytes in the tape header :D

If you liked "Glich Love", you can vote for it for the "Nano Awards 2022" on either Pouet or Demozoo :)

It was not that awesome, but it does not hurt to try to make the Oric more visible :D
