Submitted my first entry, woohoo! A crappy basic game involving surfers and lasers :) (I wanted to do something quick and original). Took about a week to code. I intend to write a much better and longer game since the contest doesn't end for like a year. Crazy long contest period for a basic program, but hey, I won't complain. More time means more entries which means more chances of winning :) http://rsp.retrocomputacion.com/
No matter how original or whacky an idea is, chances are someone has already been there. ;-)
Look for "SurfBurgers" on Bret Victors IIgs software page: http://worrydream.com/iigs/ The main protagonist bears a striking resemblance.I haven't played your game yet, but if the premise of your game is to shoot hamburgers with math problems on them, I call foul! hehe :-)
Nice to see the Apple II being represented in the competition though! Well done.
Cheers, Mike
