I think it could be good for the people who supplies a card to get preference 🙂
yes, people got and still get that in return.
that’s for multiple games, though, it does not make much sense to send single games due to shipping costs.
i am not sure how much it’d be for shipping, but i don’t think it’s profitable to send only two carts.
What if for the 5th batch people had to supply a Baseball cart or whatever cart. Then that person would be guaranteed a Flash boy.
that’ll only be a solution if i can’t get any more carts, because it would be more expensive for you guys (extra costs for donor games plus shipping them to me) and more work. also i like to do batch work, like cutting all cases on a single evening, instead of always getting out the equipment for a single cart. 😉

Does it require Baseball, or can it be any other game as well?
it could also be any other one, it’s just that vl baseball is so cheap.
Can’t U produce plastic cases? Or U use connector?
it’s possible (but not cheap) to reproduce the plastic cases, but unfortunately it is not possible to make custom connectors, so we have to sacrifice carts for that. 🙁
I would you participate if I could code, but Jorgeche’s engine might change that.
actually… no. the engine can’t be a compensation for lack of programming knowledge, it is not a game construction kit.
if you have some basic knowledge you could just start a project and learn c while you program, though. that’s what i did. 😉
As for prizes, maybe a Flashboy w/ PVB shirt for first place, and then shirts for second and third place
exactly my thought. 😀 there will be two shirt versions to choose from btw. more about those later, when the brand new one is ready.
you should also host a game idea contest to get some creativity out there.
i was thinking about that but decided for the coding compo. maybe there will be a game idea contest in the future will smaller prizes. 😉

Waiting is killing me.. I hope I’ll be on the next command…
i emailed you 10 days ago saying that your flashboy was ready, along with payment instructions, but did not get a reply. did you not get the email? a lot of other people did not respond too, so i’ll resend all the unanswered notifications this evening.

It’d be interesting to know how many flashboy owners are using them for development, vs for playing roms, or as an addition to their VB collection. Maybe put up a poll?
not really coding competition related, but a good idea! i will do that.

That’d be cool, but I don’t think I’ve got enough time to be able to join in the fun.

too bad. 🙁 even if the competition runs until august? if you don’t have time to write something new you could also just dig out some old, unreleased project(s). 😉
only some very early demos were released. the final version will (hopefully) be out soon, jorge has finished the engine and is writing the docomentation for it. 🙂
