2. All entries must include source code and be written entirely in BASIC*. (No Machine Language Allowed)

3. Only text based output is permitted, no graphics are allowed. (CURSES type character addressing is OK)

4. Winners will be selected by popular vote. Any member of the associated FB group may vote including entrants.

5. Entry output may be in any language*

6. Each Team/Programmer may submit more than one entry. Entries will be judged individually.

7. All programs will be archived and placed into the public domain at the end of each contest so that others

Caveats:

  • All BASICs are welcome but using a BASIC that is incompatible with many platforms may have a negative impact

on your ability to collect votes. It is up to each programmer to write code that the rest of us can evaluate and run.

  • All languages are welcome but outputting data in languages other than English may have a negative impact on

your ability to collect votes. As with the previous caveat, it is up to each programmer to write code that the rest of us can evaluate and score.
