Although we may have had to wave a sorry goodbye to ShopTemp in its current form, never fear! As GBAtemp will still be celebrating Tempmas 2010 with our fantastic community. Thanks to your favourite moderating team, we've managed to scurry up some great prizes into our festive sack and now we're ready to rock and roll with Tempmas 2010! Yes, our annual Christmas competition - Tempmas is back!

Top Prize: Nintendo 3DS

The top prize will be a fully paid-for Nintendo 3DS.

One lucky winner will receive a Nintendo 3DS console, fully paid for by GBAtemp. We will even pre-order it for the winner to ensure that he or she gets it as soon as it's released!

In case you've been living under a festively decorated rock, the 3DS is Nintendo's next handheld system. A true successor to the Nintendo DS that delivers a 3D effect on it's upper screen without the need for any special glasses! It's fully backwards compatible with Nintendo DS and DSi software and we're all pretty excited about it.

Runner ups: 30x R4i Gold

Thanks to the generous R4iDSN team we are able to offer R4i Gold carts to 30 lucky runner ups.

These carts are fully compatible with Wood R4 which make them an attractive and easy-to-use cart. This runners up prize will be offered to the 30 runner ups that don't quite make the mark for top prize.

You'll receive a brand new, packaged R4i Gold shipped directly to your doorstep free of charge.

How to enter:

Curious on how to enter this fantastic Tempmas 2010 competition? ...Well, we can't tell you!

You'll just have to keep your eyes peeled this year. So stay tuned to GBAtemp.net. And if you're observant enough, maybe you'll be in with a chance to win!

We will release the first clue sometime late next week, so no need to go hunting yet!

And we know it's against Christmas spirit and all, but if you want to be in with a higher chance of winning; you'd better keep your lips sealed if you do spot anything. Ho ho ho!

Rules: Remember, do not register multiple accounts to enter the Tempmas 2010 competition. Not only is this against forum rules which will possibly lead to both your accounts being disabled, but this is strictly against Tempmas 2010 rules. We will be keeping a close eye on entries should you be clever enough to enter, so play fair.

And with that, from all the staff at GBAtemp.net, we wish you a very Merry Tempmas 2010! We hope you all have a fantastic Christmas. So good luck! And enjoy...

Well, this is some really great news.

Now, all we need to make it Tempmas is for Dice to make it snow again

Anyway, I'm excited, even though I don't fully understand the rules. But I'm sure I will catch on!

It's pretty nice for GBAtempto pay for all of this! I will definitely enter, assuming I don't fail as badly as I did with the previous contest which involved scavenger hunting.

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I bet @AncientBoi has some hamsters hidden somewhere tho....

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    im taking a break for today anyway

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
