Graph100 (Spaceinvaders) : 3 points
Cool graphics and great animations!

einander (Eine Kleine PBMusik) : 2 points
Wonderful music and impressive macro tricks...

BasicallyPure (Music_Sequencer) : 1 point
The "negative" first: It seemed that only one note was playing all the times; also it has very high CPU usage. Still, a music sequencer in just a few lines of code is very good work. You can only do that with PureBasic (and a lot of talent).


Unfortunately "Winter Punch" by Cool Dji didn't start on my laptop. I remember that there was a problem with PB5.0, Intel on-board graphics and AntialiasingMode() but removing it at line 28 didn't help. CreateTexture() in the next line crashes with an IMA...

@djes: I had problems unzipping 'Eine Kleine PBMusik' from the code archive due to a CRC error, I had to obtain it from the other thread.

Stunning work.
Pity we could not assign votes to all entrants, ala the Eurovision Song Contest!

Thank you for rour report ! I've tested the zip without error, anyway, now there's also a .TGZ link.

It would have been nice indeed, but maybe also a bit boring for a lot of people...

Here is my voting.

Einander (Eine Kleine PBMusik): 3 points
Absolutely amazing, dude!!! It's so impressive to see erm... to hear how this small peace of code can produce such a harmonic polyphone music. That's what I call a big talent and specialized knowledge in making music.
Is it possible to get the expanded sourceode of this Jewel?

Cool Dji (Winter punch): 2 points
Your Demo is a great artistic composition. You choose wunderful music and the "storyline" is well considered. unfortunately the end is not in sync with the music. Except this issue the tecnical job was done very well - it's running smooth on my PC. Thumbs up for this peace of bliss.

Graph100 (Spaceinvaders) : 1 points
I like the retrostyle of your implementation. The graphics and gameplay convey the original SpaceInvaders feeling.
Impressive sinus and "copperline" effekt after the player lost his 3rd ship! Also very well done.

But also the other contributors have done a very good job. Thank you for this bouquet of great programs.

1: Winter punch
2: Ein kleine PBMusic

As I'm currently only on MacOS I can only test/vote for compatible programs. It's a shame, that only a view seems to work crossplatform (you should avoid Win-only API, events, constants, etc. if any possible):

3 points: Winter Punch / by Cool Dji

I think a new rule should be added, PB code only, I would even go as far to say no other external files either, just one *.PB file only.

Its very hard to decide, but I would say

3pts: Space Invaders
2pts: Eine kleine PBMusic
1pts: Winter punch

I would like to vote but I can't as I haven't been able to open all the files.
some nice codes in there though!
