Acceptable and encouraged. Unless you want to pay for the extra slots :p
Ah, good to know. Now I have do it. lol The nice thing about this competition is the smaller amount of overall space allows for a lengthy research time, and a much smaller strain during crunch time.

I'm entering Escape! Its public key is RVEAEK3. I had so much fun making this lol. I'm amazed by how many ways I found to save space. I feel like four particular IF statements could be less spacy, but oh well. It works. I think this idea is somewhat original or something, too, so I'm happy.
SpoilerThe most satisfying feeling is when I walk a certain way and it shows up floating to me.
I went down 5 floors; think you can?
Oy, give us a screenshot pls! (of the code)
Couldn't you just download the program and see for yourself?

It's not about me wanting to see the program, it's about the OP specifically asking for screenshots of programs (to help with the submission process).

Sounds like an interesting challenge!

I suppose I'll attempt to make something.

This is exciting! I'm definitely gonna participate in this one!

Screenshot added

yeah though- code fits in one screen and thats it..? huh ive had harder. anyways good luck to everyone.

So you can submit without a project page?

^ i guess ^ though thats confusing. i think its to save space as in we dont want 20 programs that are only one screen of code in there- could get deceiving :/

I know this is a competition and all, but do you have any tips on reducing over all size? I know "?" is short for "PRINT" and && means something. And you can use ":" to add multiple things into one line. Also I'm glad the single screen idea finally came up. Question: is there a prize this time? or is this a non prize one since the amount of time required to make something is so small? (or a 1st place only type deal.)
You don't even need :. Stuff like this works:
FOR I=0TO 9?I NEXT

It's so I can compile them into one folder from one thread. You are free to post your osp on your page if you want.

Can I get a screenshot of the code too, please?

Minor correction: the max on-screen characters for 1 editor screen is 29 * 46 = 1334

Why can people not seem to understand to post a screenshot with the key.

It says please not that it's a requirement and I'm not always pleasing :)

Here's a QSP bc why not, a timer:

May our program write and read, for example, a save file?

May our program write and read, for example, a save file?
If you can prove your program creates this file and it doesn't depend on it existing beforehand, then sure. You can't include it with the program because that breaks the "one file" rule.
