It's finally here! Over the next few months, QB Express will be hosting the Qlympics 2006, where we will give recognition to all of the best work from the QuickBasic / FreeBasic community!
Check out QB Express #19 for more details.
The Qlympics 2006 will be open to *any* FreeBasic or QuickBasic program released since January 1, 2003. We have not had a community-wide awards ceremony since the 2002 Gaming Gold Awards, and it is due time for QB / FB programmers to get some recognition.
CURRENT CATEGORIES AND NOMINEES:
This month, I need help compiling a list of all eligible programs for the 2006 Qlympics. That means EVERY QB / FB program released since January of 2003. Each entry must be accompanied by a working download link, or a link to the official site. I want the nomination list to be EXTENSIVE, and no eligible program should be left off.
How do you nominate a program / person? Just tell me their name, the name of their program (if applicable), and a link where I can find the work.
For nominations of websites / articles / tutorials (for the "written" category, just list off any article series or site that you think should be considered for the category. The same thing goes for Best Villain / Gaming Hunk / Gaming Babe, and Most Groundbreaking Program, etc.
Any questions? Post 'em below!
