Whilst I do love Col's version, Qube's 3D ness has it in the bag for me - and developed for so many platforms - the beauty of BMAX with a slice of 3D thrown in maybe ?

My vote goes to Qube.   8)

Thanks but it was written in AGK2 and it's a mix of 2D & 3D :D

I'm going to pass voting on this competition because there's no Monkey-X entry..  ;D

That's just bananas.  If you like Monkey so much, why didn't you enter?

Hey Steve. Not that much, just in favor. :) Yes, I'm actually kind of busy last month with something else, so I did not enter. I do have an old asteroids type game for entry but some code was part of a template so I guess that does not count.  ;D

They are all good! Great job everyone...

I'm torn between Col's and Qube's entries for the my choice though... love the old skool vector from Col's and the 3D by Qube's...

For next month's (this month?) I'll try to get an entry in :)

 "My vote is for " Qube!

And not just because he's Qube but because it it the most fun and best overall.

A commendable 2nd place to Dwapook.

I couldn't run col's game as my laptop is too old.

My vote is for Comet Killer/Qube because I really like the feel of it most.. (I was also among those pretty torn between his and col's though..)

(BTW, thanks for the mention markcwm!)

What happens if Qube wins his own competition?  Does he pay himself?  :o
