PDRoms Coding Competition v4.01 (SNES misc)

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.

PDRoms has always been in the homebrew scene to support the creation of new homebrew software, support programmers and artists. To show our love to the homebrew scene once again, here comes the ninth PDRoms Coding Competition.

Here is the brief data:

WLA DX v9.4a (08-04-2008) (SNES misc)

WLA DX has stagnated a lot recently but there has been progress since the last time (November 2006). WLA DX is a Macro Assembler Package for GB-Z80/Z80/6502/65C02/6510/65816/HUC6280/SPC-700 and was written by Ville Helin.

Changes:

– data filtering macros (looks useful for non-standard string encoding)
– Mersenne Twister random numbers (not that you’d use them much at compile-time)
– Label and line number bugfixes

SNES Development website: www.snesdev.net (SNES misc)

Undisbeliever founded a new SNES development website:

I have just recently setup a website for SNES Development.

At the moment it consists of a blank SNES wiki (which I can’t work on until July), and the >Entertainment (a SNES development project group) discussion board.

To be honest, the website is still in development.
We currently have 2 major and 2 minor projects planned, and will be looking for another SNES coder to help with the minor projects in the near future.

If you like the site, offering feedback or willing to help. Please don’t hesitate to post here.

Elevator Madness (Pre) (SNES Game)

You are a bell boy in a stressful 3 story office building and the elevator’s circuits are fried. As the bell boy, it is not your job to operate the lifts manually, and maintain the peace within the lobbies.

The stress and tentions within the building are so high, that if two employees bump into each other with yell no-doubt argue and start a fight. This is a strike upon your record. Three strikes and you are fired.

The employees of the building have been instructed to tell you which floor they wish to exit on. A single up/down arrow means the employee wishes to go down one floor. A double arrow means that they wish to go down/up two floors.

If you leave an employee on the wrong floor, he will no-doubt complain. This is another strike on your record.

This game has ranked #3 in the PDRoms Coding Competition #3.666.
