The new AAP Official Projects Squad has just been raised!
#11
To Sumojo:

I want to let you know up front that even though according to my new QBCPC 2004/2005 compo forumboard rules, about Oz saying that I am his hero, that is perfectly alright here and does not even violate the rules at all. There was no worship involved on that. Wink And I am not going to make this thread turn into a “religiously sensitive”-based one. I am just doing my best here to make the news targeted to focus mainly on QB programming and us exploring some NEVER BEFORE SEEN originalities out of that, that’s all. Big Grin !

Hey, I am only being honest with you without putting you down or anything like that at all. As well, I am saying this just to keep this thread channelled in towards QuickBASIC programming indeed. As you can see, man, I am just getting real with myself here. ^_^



And to the rest of you:

I just found out that my new site has suffered some downtime. Sad Normally, this lasts for somewhere between five (5) minutes to an hour, but then after that, it comes back. But other than that, my site works GREAT!! Big Grin !! At least having my site up on the web is better than not even having one at all, let me tell you!



You all have a *most* splendid evening now!! :bounce: !

P.S. At the time I have just written this post, my site *JUST* came back up!! How about that, huh? Cool !!

P.P.S. Currently on my QBCPC 2004/2005, I have just added an ALL-NEW forum today called QBCPC 2004/2005 Invitation Pre-Signup Questions, and, when you register in my forum (and I hope you do, by the way!), then on your log-ins, a forum called “Customized Category” Idea Booth will appear before you to give you a grand opportunity to select whatever genre — be it game or any QB programming genre at all — *YOU* want to see in this new compo, just like it was done just before my previous one!! Man, don’t that sound good? Big Grin ! And finally, QB45/QB71 community, _especially_ do not forget now to take the thorough and careful time to study all of my original new categories so that you all can ready yourselves BIG-TIME to set sail to conquer lands uncharted where QB programming is concerned, and tell me in this thread what you think when you do, alright please? Thanks so much!!

To Rhiannon:

You are *absolutely* right on that. Long read indeed ( :o ! ), but, the reason why I put the rules on my new compo in the very first place is because I want to help you and others create some positive originality in QB, I must say. Big Grin !

And also too, bear in mind now that just near the end of my rules, I graciously present to you some “freeware game”-based examples (including a brand-new one from Japan!) which, had they been made in QuickBASIC, would WELL have *possibly* followed all of my rules and thereby being TOTALLY acceptable by yours truly! Wink ! I am doing this not only to be a blessing to you and the QB45/QB71 community, but also, to make it _much_ easier for you, them, and other new entrants to adhere to and follow all of my new rules indeed.

I am doing all of that to help and encourage the CENTRAL CORE of the QuickBASIC programmer to just get out there and create something real, fun, and even freshly positive indeed. ON PURPOSE. ^_^ !

Thank you so much once again, Rhiannon, and you have yourself a *SPLENDID* new morning and entire day. :king:

You could make it much easier on everyone if your "new" rules (which are just the old rules with a few minor changes here and there) could kindly fall into a brook and never be seen again. Tongue By the way, who won the last compo?
I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.

Quote:your character is an angelic young girl, as you fire at the many enemies. BUT, to break away the familiarity here, she *also* has a baseball bat with which to score PLENTY of hits on them, and also, TO ACTUALLY DEFLECT THE ENEMY BULLETS TO BE FIRED RIGHT BACK AT THE ENEMY COMPETITION!!

Bullets?

Angelic?

Girl?

Enemies?

What happened to all-loving, no violence, no religious stuff, no idolizing rules?




*reads girl again*
Ohhh..... Will there be shower scenes? What will she be wearing?... Ohh man.. I'm really excited about this game, this is the best thing ever, I have the text copied and printed, I've put it above a small table with other stuff AAP made, my AAP shrine.
Seriously, this game is one I'm looking forward to, halfnaked angelic slayers, killing everything, spreading mass death and destruction, KICK ASS! Big Grin

Those rules kill creativity and insult other religions. Nobody will enter.

I like girls in bathing suits. Naked girls are much better, but I digress.

Putting too many limitations on a competition is like using a strainer. For each rule you add, you block more people from the final result.

Ok, that was a crazy analogy. Well praise Allah for helping me with that.

Anyway, I'm gonna go back to smoking and shooting my shotgun or playing some violent video game.

Oh yeah, wizards are cool.

Ok, im sorry to drag the subject back to this, after so long, but i just HAVE to!!

You dont allow people to use the phrase "I doubt it"??

Or the phrase "I'm afraid not!"??

Im sorry, but [Image: emot-wtf.gif]!?!

Seriously!!??!

And what is wrong with the 60s Peace symbol? It is about peace and love, which Im sure you, AAP, have no problem with!?

To all of you who have written since my last post in this thread:

Right off the top, I am gonna prove this point ONCE AND FOR ALL to all of you with these point-blank brutally glaring factors:
  • 1 • The QBCPC 2004/2005 is all _entirely_ about CREATING CLEAN AND MASTERFUL QUICKBASIC PROGRAMMING, not religion. To even *dare* to cross the line into religion here would be flat tacky and so senselessly rock-bottom stupid, and guess what? THAT WHOLE RELIGIOUS STUFF SURE DO NOT AND WILL NOT EVEN WORK AT ALL, because on my compo, I am taking POSITIVE originality — and never even a negative-based one — to the big extreme in QB programming dead-seriously, because that is the main focus here. DEAL WITH IT. Big Grin !

    2 • It *do not* take any portrayals of smoking, faeries, elves, wizards, the physical violence of human beings against human beings, zodiac symbols, blood, gore, lovemaking, nudity (whether partial or not), or stuff that is not allowed in my compo at all for games and projects to even be good to start with! Just look at the arcade games Vulcan Venture, Air Buster, Image Fight, Mappy, Galaga, Solar Fox, Frogger, and even the original Pong, too! Also, while you are at it, why not take a look at the Atari 2600 games Atlantis, Demon Attack, Circus Atari, Pitfall, Frostbite, River Raid, and Combat (originally a “two-player”-only game where you shoot down tanks and planes to score points — ANOTHER GREAT GAME!! Big Grin ! ). These are such games where THE GAMEPLAY REALLY MATTERED THE MOST rather instead of all of those bad things at all!! And how about DirectQB and even UGL as well, hmm? JUST TRY ALL THEM AGAIN AND STUDY THEM DEEPLY FOR YOURSELVES, PEOPLE, AND YOU *WILL* UNDERSTAND WHY! Big Grin !

    Quote:QBCPC[/i] Forumboard Rules of Conduct (which *definitely* applies to my compo entry rules as well!), the notice simply and so clearly"]N O T I C E :

    Right up front, my forumboard rules will say — where portrayals are concerned, at least — that there is to be no smoking, wizards/wizardesses, witches, fighting games, 1st-person shooting games, magic potions, fairies/faeries/fays, elves, and such like. One of the reasons why I will *not* allow these in my forumboard is because they are very overused material often found in video gaming, fantasy novels, and/or some other stories (and apparently even animés, too!). In this compo, we are looking for some quality and FRESHLY INSPIRING originality in QB programming here, even for old-school arcade gamers as well! COME ON NOW! Wink !
    ...............and they were written for such a reason here. Period, end of the conversation.

    3 • Dark_prevail, the clear reason I will not allow the phrases “I’m afraid not” and “I doubt it!” in my compo at all is *simply* because of these: did you know that the two phrases are fear-based and fear-supported, and that the lettering of the word “fear” stands for “false evidence appearing real”? To find out some of why, please go to the article entitled “The Secrets to Stress-Free Living”, as this will really help you see the positive side of my compo and just enjoy it rather instead of even bothering to find my rules negative and a put-down at all. (I will bet *A LOT* of you need this too, believe me! ^_^ ! ). And by the way, since this is a compo that encourages positive originality indeed, such uplifting phrases as “I WILL NOT BE AFRAID!” or “I may feel afraid, but I will not give into it at all!” ARE wholly acceptable, which is the rather reason I will update my compo entry rules TONIGHT!! Big Grin !

    4 • There are gonna be absolutely no shower scenes in my original game “Star Angelic Slugger”, nor will there even be any blood or gore at all. You know why? Because, the purpose for the game is to make it fun and exciting to play, and *never* to make anywhere perverted at all. EVER.

    5 • As for women and girls in bikinis, I am not gonna even get into that discussion on this thread at all. :-? Since even talking about it in the least will _likely_ drag this thread off topic, sorry, please do not do it.

    6 • If you want to know who won my last compo (QBCPC Summer & Autumn 2003), they are:

    ________________________________________________________
    • Neo Deus Ex Machina • NeoLib 1.6b (Grand Prize Winner)
      Selected Category: Customized Category #3: A Subs/Functions Based QuickBASIC Library

      Lode Vandevenne • Flaming Morphing Shapes (Honorary Prize Winner)
      Selected Category: Original Category #1: Graphics Demo within 25 LINES OR FEWER!
    ________________________________________________________

    And the download to the two programs will be showing in my compo forums as I write my “QBCPC Summer & Autumn 2003 Wrap-Up” this weekend there. And I WILL do that. You just hold on!! Wink !

I can say all of this probably around 684 times, and yet, there would still be some that would _completely_ miss it, because there is a *very* fine line here. And there is a balance that needs to be kept in order in order to make such SPLENDID QB projects in this new compo. That is why it is called “THE *ULTIMATE* QUICKBASIC CHALLENGE”. Period. :wtnod2: !

See you later, and I *most certainly* hope you all get a much clearer and positively supportive sense out of all of this.
