On
MSX Tudo and various Brazilian mailing lists, the MSX software development contest
MSXsoft 2007 has just been announced. The contest has been launched because of the success of the MSX Resource Center challenges and
MSXdev competitions and the low activity of Brazilian MSX developers compared to the tremendous activity on Brazilian MSX mailinglists and community websites such as
Orkut.
The contest is different from other challenges we've seen so far, as it challenges developers to develop either of the following
- An EVA editor
- A compression toolkit
- A new format for compressed images
- A library for a user interface
- A compiler for Uzix
- An MSX port of Elifoot
- Gopher for Uzix
- A text-based webbrowser, such as Lynx for Uzix
- Ports of Unix utilities such as vi and gzip to Uzix
- Multiplayer MSX games
- Libraries for JoyNet in Turbo Pascal, Assembly and C
Suggestions for other 'challenges' can be submitted as well. More information about the competition can be found, in Portuguese, on the
MSXsoft 2007 website.
