@6 NEW GUIDELINES FOR PROGRAMS SUBMITTED FOR EVALUATION
@5----------------------------------------------------
@4
You don't HAVE to follow these guidelines, but you will increase your
chances of acceptance if you do, and also increase the chances, significantly
of your program going on a future F1 CD.
@3
(1)
Since there is a good chance most F1 programs will end up on a CD you
will save us and yourselves a lot of hassle in the future if you
make your program runnable from Workbench. This means NOT coding
file i/o using "Sys:", "DF0:" or whatever, call the disks name.
Load "DisksName:file" for example and not Load "DF0:file"
@2
(2)
It would help if your first screen was NOT low res (320X200 or 320X256)
as this seems to cause screen corruption when running from a hi res
WorkBench screen. We have yet to find a patch that PROPERLY solves this
problem.
@1
(3)
For gawds sake put a "Quit" option in your program, this way most programs,
when run from the CD interface will be able to return the user back to the
menu it was launched from.
@5
(4)
Please use a standard Amigados disk, no custom formats. We need to be able
to run it without booting it. We no longer accept non-standard disk formats
anyway.
@2
(5)
It is in your interests to supply the following with an accepted program:
A 1 disk demo version
An IFF screenshot
An ASCII description for the catalogue.
@6
There will be more new guidelines printed here as soon as they crop up.
