Graphics Contest 2017, please vote now!

This is unbeatable!
I love it.. play it every night...

I think everyone programmed that game some time. 

My forgotten screenshot, sorry!

Now than I see, I'm missing the colors in the numbers. Also when I launch the game I can't select the combobox. I'm running Linux 64, downloaded the whole repository.

Yup. me too... I gave up when some guy wrote the whole game (80*25 ANSI character graphics) in 256 bytes! in 1985/1986... for an assembly language contest. Using all kind of weird tricks like indexing asm opcodes (to character rom) and self modification..
Does someone still have that 8086 code? I miss it...It was brilliant, utterly brilliant...

[edit]
The commodore 64 one was not far off in 6510 assembly at 384 bytes. I did mine for Commodore 64 in just under 1K... (looser!) but I tried. So basically now you know that, on average, I am 4 times as bad as a brilliant one...

Yes there are also binary size contest that the .exe file should not be larger than "x" kb.

I don't have that kind of code, the older code I have is from 2007

Fixed. Tanks for the feedback.
use popup menu to change sound, deck texture or tiles colors.

My forgotten screenshot...

Nice! I like games with homogeneous appearance and nice colors that don't punch you visually in the face.

Hey people!

I am interested on the contest! Can I participate?

[Thaddy]

Hey people!

Yup!

[turrican]

Cool, I will participate with a cross-platform graphic demostration using ZenGL framework based on OpenGL and DirectX.

It's bytes, not kilo bytes... It is a lost art....

[turrican]

There will binary size limitation? 

[bylaardt]

No limitation of this kind of art.

PS: For the Motivational Phrases Contenst my vote is for Thaddy when {$DEFINE ThaddyGrumpyModeOn}

Sometimes everyone needs a little inspiration

I have an entry ready to send but don't know precisely what is required. I assume the .LPI, .LPR, .LFM and .PAS files and maybe the .ICO but suspect that .RES and .LPS might also be needed along with the Images used.

Nor do I know how the files should be sent and to whom !

... but I'm sure Lainz will enlighten me

Hi J-G, how you are?

You can upload it as a zip file in your website and put a link here, basically the people needs to download and test it.

If you're in doubt include everything, except the .bak files or backup folder (that depends on the settings, where these files are generated) and also don't include the lib folder.

Executables are welcome also, but not required.

Hi J-G, how are you?

In good order thanks - had a fantastic concert last Saturday and still buzzing from it

Since posting, I've seen fit to do some small 'tweeks' - totally cosmetic but I know that they improve the program  -  so I'll upload to my site tomorrow sometime - just need to sleep on the adjustments to determine that they really are necessary and they are done in the most efficient way (they are to do with enabling or prohibiting mouse-cursor changes to indicate available events).

My entry for the 'Animation' section is now available for you to download from www.crescentcomputing.co.uk/lainz.

There is one .ZIP file - BGRA Graphics.ZIP - which contains all the Laz generated files plus Screen-shots, .PNG Images, The CorelDRAW! file and a 32bit executable.

As there are no text clues such as TButtons cluttering the main image, I've added a comment at the top of the .PAS file to explain the thinking and controls.

I hope I've remembered everything - you'll no doubt let me know otherwise
