cheers,
nagania 

heres something i was brewing in the general discussion forum:

BMAGS

What is BMAGS?  How does it differ from MAGS?
BMAGS is a bi-monthly competition for beginner users of AGS.  (bi-monthly meaning it occurs every two months)  By beginner, we mean you have less than four months, or no experience in AGS.  Therefore you can only enter twice, before we think you are ready to take on MAGS, and possibly even going solo into the world of game development.  We have to trust you in saying you are a beginner, because if your not you are only cheating yourself.

What are the rules?
The rules are that you must follow the competitions guidelines, chosen by the previous winner, and the game must be submitted by the deadline.
It's all for fun, and LEARNING.

The winner will be chosen according to a number of things:
-   The creativity they have used in there game.  i.e. how well they have used the guidelines to create an interesting storyline
-   The concept of the graphics.  You don't have to be a great artist, because we are going to judge you on whether you've had a good crack at it and thought about your graphics.
-   Whether they have followed the guidelines.  The guidelines are only there to help spark your imagination.  But you must follow them.

But it's not all for winning.  In fact winning's got little to do with it.  Indeed, it's good to win, but you want to LEARN from this experience.

We'll try to give everyone a comment and tip, so learning can be achieved!

Anybody caught cheating or attempting to enter when they aren't a beginner will be disqualified and perhaps the mods could help me out a little bit...

wow, alot to read....

the point of this competition, as alot of people havn't seen to grasp, is so that beginners, who aren't particularly confident can enter into a much less confronting competition than mags.

also, instead of having only 1 month, the beginner has two, which gives them more time to experiment and learn, but they still have a deadline, which they indeed need to learn to reach.

in the normal MAGS competition, how many excuses aer there where people say: "Oh, didn't get it finished in time, maybe next time."
We don't want beginners to learn to make excuses, do we??  We want them to learn skills.

I appreciate everyones opinion, I think I will attempt to procede with the competition, and if it isn't popular, so be it!

yes, i was thinking bi-monthly also......

sprite jam eh?  if you wish, you can pm me and we can discuss it further.  there could be a number of different competitions the beginner could enter.

indeed.....  : :
did you check out the three golden rules above before you posted?
refer to rule number 1:

1. Is your post interesting, helpful or funny? If not, don't post it.

don't just post coz you can

no hard feelings!   

indeed graphics gale is worth checking out.
although... it never really grabbed me.... this topic helps ME because i STILL havn't chosen my program to use.

although i just got a tip to check out something called Deluxe Paint.  maybe you should check it out to.

no, i think the rust is good.  as soon as you finish everything else on the image, you'll see it too! 

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this.... is.... so.... cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whoop whoop whoooooooop!

on a much more serious note...
a true classic.  I LOVE the graphics.  Indeed, people will love this game.
five stars/ten out of ten
congrats!

i was just wondering if anybody here would be interested in or consider taking part in a monthly ags competition, (mags), for beginners only??

please let me know, i'm really interested in the result!

sorry, didn't see it on the first page...

is it free?
looks quite cool

u didn't answer someones question above...
what program did you draw the graphics in???

hmmmmm..... i might give it a go...
although i thought last months mags comp (w.i.p) was going to be good to me
i never got it finished!!!
just have to wait and see this month! 

ok thanks!!!

I have totally no idea how to do this.
I want to make it that the character climbs up and down a ladder.

if i am right, you have to make a new view and make it that when the person clicks on the ladder it switches to this view and goes down.

how do you do this?
any help would be totally appreciated.

thanks,

whoops!!!! it does.
i'm really sorry ssh, i just couldn't find the front walkcycle option at first.
really sorry!
on a postive note,
this walkcycle generator is awesome!!!
geez people are picky...
like...
an option that the fade on the text can be disabled?
just be glad that such an awesome program exists!

thanks ssh,
your generator is going to save me so much time on my game 

wow!!!
this doesn't give me much time to create a storyline and game, but i hope to get it finished in time to enter.
oh, and this is my first game, so i hope it makes a good impression.
i doubt i could win but it's all for fun, eh?
good luck everyone! 

i am fairly new to game making.
i have used an adventure game making program before... its called adventure maker
is ags right for me?
i am willing to work very hard.
also, i was wondering what programs i should use for making sprites and stuff.

thanks!

looks sweet!
looking forward to seeing this game finished.
i like the overall look of it.
good luck!

it says that the front walkcylce is included, but it isn't.
