When we started the Sat Dev section, we talked about having a Saturn Coding Contest. What contest would you want to participe in? There *might* be prizes. :cheers
On a side note, let's make up special rules. Like you have to make use of one of the Saturn's accessories like the backup cart or the multitap.
Yes, I though about 3 months. That should be ok.Oh yeah, give a few months for the contest to run, say until June 1st?
I would really like to see a homebrew platform game. I was very impressed with CMU's work on Sack of Flour, Heart of Gold. I think one more release would have resulted ina very professionally polished game. I imagine something like that with better graphics would be very doable on a saturn.
That is a very good idea! I will put that up on the contest page that im making.Also, have all entrants document everything they do, as detailed as possible. After the contest is over, we'll have tons of original notes to grow the dev scene. That way everyone wins.
Also a good idea. I though about adding Audio to the poll, but i removed it. Might have been a bad idea. Vote on other if you want Audio-programming.i think not only games should be thought about when talking about a contest. what about a mediaplayer or something with a textbased menu

yeah that'd be nice... I'm thinking of writing a 1993-style demo (i.e. Unreal or Crystal Dreams-like), but I know zip
about sound programming, nor am I able of composing my own tunes...

another major problem for me is that no compiler (as i expect after some nights looking) running on linux is out there and i'm too subborn (or stupid) to set one up by my own hands...

Kpit offers a "ready-to-use" Hitachi compiler on a RedHat package:

Look for GNUSH v0301 Tool Chain and download the one for COFF format.
It is fully compatible with the SGL and remaining libraries, as long as paths are correctly set.

this seems to me just like the word propriety would describe it best...
also the registration does not work.
