@Unicorn, Sadly, no.  I got mixed up with the time zones (I live in the US), so I was late submitting my entry. Serves me right for procrastinating! 

Thanks DJ Omnimaga, I'll probably be posting my game as a showcase after I do a little more work on it.

I mainly sing in various choirs. I like singing to just about all kinds of music, but I'm particularly fond of country/western. My favorite artist has got to be Collin Raye, so I sing a lot of his stuff.

Finally getting around to introducing myself! 

I came to this site for Streetwalrus's XenoPi mod, and just kind of stuck around. I'm currently only fluent in Visual BASIC, and speak broken Java. I'm starting to get into TI a bit, so we'll see how that goes. I do a lot of console modding; currently working on a portable wii, so I may post something about that in the future.

I don't publish a lot of my work (probably <1% of the stuff I make ends up online). What I do publish is scattered around the web. You can find a few things on my website: zxander.thenerd.me

What else... I sing. Totally unrelated, but it's pretty much my life, so might as well mention it.

So, yeah... That's me in a nutshell! 

Funny you should mention that. The first thing I coded (even before the actual tile class!) was the form resize. It seemed a bit unorthodox at the time, but I knew I would have to do it sometime down the road, so I figured why not?

Manually adjusting the resolution can be difficult, so I tend to leave that up to Windows' default behavior. Luckily, resizing is fairly simple, though it can be extremely tedious to code.  I set up my form to be fully adjustable by the user, and because the controls are so simple, I opted not to maintain aspect ratios to allow for greater flexibility in the program's operation.

Sorry I took so long to respond. Finals week. 

Alex, the platform is Windows, and the language is Visual Basic.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I'll be sure to introduce myself soon 

Hey guys! I'm still kind of new to the forums, but when I saw this contest, well, I couldn't resist the challenge!

Presenting volaTile!

Remember that old game "Lights Out"? volaTile is similar, but instead of just toggling adjacent tiles, clicking a tile may toggle tiles next to it, above it, diagonal from it, etc. The goal is to determine what rule set is being used in each level. The top 9 tiles are the grid, the tiles that change when clicked. Tile #10 is the timer. It starts each level totally white, but gets darker as time progresses. The remaining two tiles are the rule set options, represented by color. Select the correct rule set before tile #10 fades to black, and you proceed to the next level.

Language: Visual BASIC



To-Do List

• levels
• difficulty settings

Hey sorry I never got back to giving you feedback. I eventually determined that it was my soldering job that was to blame. The hack works quite well now. Thanks for the post!

Ok, so I've spent the past couple of days tinkering and still no dice. I've tried the mod on a couple different game cubes and tried different releases of Raspbian. By booting into Raspbian normally, I was able to confirm that I am getting feedback from the GameCube, because the data values of the connected pins would change when I turned the GameCube on or off.

I've attached a pic of my sd card setup. Any ideas on what might be going on?

Thanks for your replies!
I'm going to try reinstalling Raspian, then replacing the kernel img. I'm also going to try some different media for my backups.

Hey guys, I know this thread is a tad old, but I was wondering if you could help me out. I really like this idea, but I haven't had much success. Is there any way I can get some more detailed instructions for the RPi SD card setup? Any help is very much appreciated!
