Wow! I discovered the following topic. I am surprised by the theme of the competition. The theme and the competition looks quite interesting. 
Any forum member will make a nice entry for it?
Good luck anyway!

Wow... No feedback??? Now I am really surprised.
No one is interested in this contest?
I encourage every competent GFA-BASIC user to create nice entry for the contest. Reasons: let non-users know that GFA-BASIC is a mature and solid programming tool. The user base of GFA-BASIC may therefore be enlarged!

Right now I don't even have the time to program what I need. I have even less time to program just for fun.  |

I understand that you are excited about the contest and want to attract more participants, but I think your post sounds a bit aggressive and may discourage some people from joining. You may want to tone down your language and make it more friendly and inviting. Here are some suggestions: - Instead of using multiple question marks and exclamation points, which may imply impatience or frustration, use only one punctuation mark at the end of each sentence. This will make your post more calm and polite.
- Instead of saying "No one is interested in this contest?", which may sound accusatory or sarcastic, say something like "Are you interested in this contest?" or "Who wants to join this contest?" This will make your post more engaging and positive.
- Instead of saying "I encourage every competent GFA-BASIC user to create nice entry for the contest", which may sound elitist or demanding, say something like "I invite all GFA-BASIC users, regardless of skill level, to create an entry for the contest" or "I welcome any GFA-BASIC user who wants to create an entry for the contest". This will make your post more inclusive and respectful.
- Instead of saying "Reasons: let non-users know that GFA-BASIC is a mature and solid programming tool. The user base of GFA-BASIC may therefore be enlarged!", which may sound boastful or self-serving, say something like "Benefits: you can showcase your creativity and talent with GFA-BASIC. You can also help spread the word about this amazing programming tool and inspire more people to use it!". This will make your post more appealing and motivational. Here is an example of how you can rewrite your post using these suggestions: Wow, I'm really surprised by the lack of feedback. Are you interested in this contest? I invite all GFA-BASIC users, regardless of skill level, to create an entry for the contest. Benefits: you can showcase your creativity and talent with GFA-BASIC. You can also help spread the word about this amazing programming tool and inspire more people to use it! |

That YT channel is a real blast from the past! A lot of nice classic games in 80's to be inspired by. Actually, entrant can pick any game from the 80's and be inspired to mix it with another game from the 80's. |

If it's not too much of a pain to enter I think I may do it. My first glance leads me to believe it's more work than it's worth. Still thinking.

Someone said, "Frogger is a good choice."
There are many videos of Frogger on Youtube. However, Frogger really looks boring.

I played Frogger many times as a teenager and on the surface it does seem boring but it is not at all. Very addicting. There were many games like that in the 80s. QIX is another good example.
