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!

From the Qlympics rules in the issue...

Quote:Demo versions of programs will be accepted, but when it comes to judging, preference may be given to finished programs over unfinished ones.

Tubez is the only FB game I've completed so far. It was basically just a way to learn more ogl functions, bit it does exsist. :lol:

In QB, I made Pacenstein, Checkers, Tankwars and The Game That should Not Be, but I don't even have a link to those anymore. :roll:
