With the excessive amount of dialoged mp3 players and lesser amount of picture windows used in scripts now we figured a good picture window challenge would be a good idea. So in this challenge you must create your own picture window mp3 player only using /draw* commands and no images.
Entries must be submitted as a zip file (e.g. mp3player.zip)
The rest is left up to your imagination. Be creative and original. Judging will be done by currently registered users that have been a member of the site longer than 1 month. Participents will not be able to vote on their own entry.
Note: Please, if you do not like this challenge for whatever reasons, keep it to yourself. Any complaints will be deleted and ignored. Questions regarding rules, pmsg fubar
We will open the entry form up on Sunday March 3rd. So if you're a quick scripter, hold on to your entry until then.
Challenge FAQ:
Am I allowed to use ini files or hash tables?
Yes, but you are still limited to one script file, readme.txt, and winrgn.dll as being submitted, in other words, you can't submit an ini file with it.
If I want to make playlist support with a "saving" capability, are we allowed to save to text files?
Yes, your code can generate any files you want.
Why do I have to wait till March 3rd to submit my entry?
It makes it easier on us, previous challenges a lot of people submitted right away then realized they missed something or found a bug. It's obviously to your benefit to hold on to your entry as long as possible.
How exactly will the voting be done?
We plan to make a form letting any member (registered for more than a month) to view all entries and try each one out, then select which one they feel is the best.
There will also be an admin's favorite choice along with the user's choice.
Can I use $sdir, $input, or any other mIRC default dialogs?
Yes, you just can not use scripted dialogs (/dialog or $dialog).
The limit is 10kb, does that mean 10240 bytes?
Yes
