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 (Genesis misc)

Release notes from Mairtrus: Well, after taking a little break, I resumed the BEX developing, and I returned with a pleasant surprise for all (I think): an engine scroll completely written in BEX. Currently works with 64X64 blocks of pixels (8X8 tiles), because I followed the Devster's idea, but, actually, works pretty slow. I am working to create a more fluid movement.

BasiEgaXorz is a BASIC compiler for the Sega Genesis consoles. That means, by using this compiler, you can program in a form of BASIC language to create awesome programs, or games for your old Sega Genesis game console. The compiler will also compile CD ISOs for the Sega CD attachment, ROMs that can use the features of the 32x extension, and not to mention, creating ROMs for the regular console without attachements. Today, when most programmers think of the BASIC language, they think about Visual Basic. The language BasiEgaXorz uses is not like Visual Basic, and it certianly wasn't derived from it. This compiler is aimed for speed, so there are many things that cannot be dynamic within the environment, everything is stayed static (like variables for example, no such thing as REDIM). BasiEgaXorz is intended for a beginer's platform in order to give an opportunity to make fun and simple games easy to make on an awesome gaming console!
