MRC Snowfall challenge [general topic]
I'm at least gonna give it a try 
It's been a while since I did much MSX programming.
Example of an extremely simple (yet awfully stupid) snow effect in text mode (yay!). Spot the bugs! 
By the way... I even had to ask on #msxdev how the RND(-TIME) thing worked. My coding skills are a lot rustier than I thought

I think our new competition deserves its own forum topic. What do you think of our initiative? Are you going to send in a snowfall demo? What are your ideas, what is your approach?
Sounds like a great idea. Won't be able to submit anything this time tho.
/me too busy with other projects 
Plus I already made one simple snow routine, long long time ago:
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/msx/demos/xmas.pma
I hope a lot of people will contribute!
Hey ro, what's going on with thefuzz.nl ?
Still under construction or no construction at all ?
Come on, pple are waiting for it!
I did not use FOR/NEXT and arrays on purpose, because I think almost everybody understands this

It'll be under contruction for a while, Ro has to sent in his entry for the Snowfall challenge first

yeah, yeah.. some old story. I had other things to finish too, and did not receive stuff from Savage yet (the bastard!) well, think I'll throw it online soon, WITHOUT saffie's stuf.. whooaha.
Also had to do some serious restyling since some routines were kinda crummy. Next thing is to test on all browsers... come to think of it, some of ya'll out there using some exotic browers could do the job. (I mean any one without IE that is) Guyver, didn't you complain about not be able to see the javascript in the site intro thaz online right now??
ah, well. First things first, some snow... lemme think about it a night or two
maybe irrelevant to say, but I assume the artwork must be original to compete ?
(so, no rippin' the sd-snatcher viral intro snow scene )
