asm compos?

[saida]

I was just wondering if there has been or maybe going to be any compos on the board?
When i was learning asm and was chatting in #asm on efnet,
they had some really funny asm compos there, like 256 byte demos that had to boot from the bootsector of a floppy etc etc.
Also some really weird rules, like "all bytes in code must be viewable in notepad as a char" hehe
It was a blast to see all the entrys people made. I think they had a months deadline or something like that for each compo.

If anyone else like compos, please drop a line

There's never been an asm-specific compo here, but I've always admired the Hugi competition for having original ideas and a bomb-proof set of rules to play by.  http://www.frontiernet.net/~fys/hugi/hcompo.htm
You could go back to some of the early comps (they're all archived) and see how close you can get to the other entries' sizes.

I've also checked the finances and there will be some cash up for grabs this time too.

Hi all.  Just moved over from the yabasic forums.

I'm keen for an asm comp.  I'm not real great but you might get a laugh if nothing else

Shockwave, dont overdo it, i personaly dont care if there is any price money in the compos - im just doing it for the fun (and to share source).

I second this. The majority of comps should be for fun only. Although small prizes with symbolic character are ok imho.
If big companies give away prizes thats ok (because it is for advertising purposes anyway).

However, I guess shockwave knows about our attitude towards comps in this forum

off topic a bit but great to see you here sg

Lol, it's not going to be hundreds and hundreds of pounds Just a few quid for the winner so that he or she can have a few drinks or buy a good bottle of wine

I will offer my right arm to the winner.
Second place is my whole body.

You have to wait a few years though.

Speaking of liquids ... it's a shame that noone invented a beamer until now.
I would really like to have couple of beers with all of you. 
This forum is really cool and all members I "met" so far are very helpful and friendly.
I really enjoy visiting it every day !

I'd like to have more than a couple of beers with you guys

[ninogenio]

yep 5 - 6 lagers to start then onto doubles of jackdainels and coke 

[Shockwave]

Sounds like a good plan.

Poured a cold one just now.  
I have a theory, that I might pick-up this assembly language business easier when I've had several more!

Bottoms up

Start here!

mov ax,13h

And maybe after a few beers things will just happen on their own!

Quite good Tutorials.

[Steve Elliott]

LOL - that's about as far as I've got. 

Thanks for the tutorials.
