It's reality again, here comes PDROMS CODING COMPETITION v4.01 - Retro Coding Fun for Console and Handhelds!
Coding on "closed" handhelds or consoles must not be a privilege; dozens of free development kits proof the opposite. The steadily growing "homebrew scene" produces unlicensed software for devices not meant to be open for everyone. Read more about PDRoms Coding Competition v4.01 (NES misc)
From 1st April 2009 to 31st May 2009 PDRoms will be hosting another coding competition. This time we will only allow 8 BIT systems (as another sister site wants to go for newer mainstream systems and we don't want to collide).

Release notes from Rorth:
I've always been really fond of 3D mazes, like those found in the Golgo games, Ultima, etc. Well, I finally figured out a decent way to do them, and so far, it's pretty efficient, I think. I've been messing with this for the past... 6 or 7 days, so about a week. Read more about 3D Maze Engine (18-03-2009) (NES Techdemo)

Compton released his first completed project "Hangamn". There are 24 words available, and you get the credit screen after level 6, so there is replayability. Read more about Hangman (15-03-2009) (NES Game)
Yet another clone of the popular Russian block game. This one allows two players and has tighter play control than most Tetris brand games. Version 0.36 fixes some attract-mode bugs and makes a few behind-the-scenes improvements. Read more about Tetramino v0.36 (NES Game)
The whole premise of the game is to choose an spot on the board where you don't want a peg to be, then jump pegs, one over the other, until there is one peg left on the board, or there are no more moves to make. It's a rather simple game, but it's pretty fun! Read more about Pegs (30-09-2008)
