Víctor "Vitoco" Parada (Chile) entered the thirteenth edition of NOMAM's BASIC Ten-Liners 2024, the annual competition that seeks to find the best game programmed with a maximum of ten lines of code in BASIC.
This time, Parada is participating with "Chase Me", the first game for Atari 8-bits in the competition. The title, written in FastBASIC 4.6 and registered in the EXTREM-256 category, challenges us to collect coins while being chased by evil guardians, each with their own personality.We complete the game by going through all the mazes, and the score depends on the number of coins collected. There is an additional bonus for the remaining lives available.
As in previous editions, participants will be able to compete in the categories "PUR-80" (each line of code with a maximum of 80 characters); "PUR-120" (maximum 120 characters per logical line); and "EXTREME-256" (maximum 256 characters per line); and "SCHAU" (for demos, tools and non-recreational applications with a limit of 256 characters per line). Submitted programs that do not comply with the rules will be placed in the "WILD" category. The deadline for submitting entries is Saturday 16 March at 18:00 (GMT) and the awards ceremony will take place on Saturday 6 April.

It is worth remembering that 88 games competed in 2023; of those, only eight were games for Atari XL/XE. The highlights were "Jumpman", a unique game inspired by the classic "Super Mario Bros." (Nintendo, 1985) and "StarRunner", both by Eric "The Ecg Man" Carr. Likewise, "Vitoco" took part in the competition with "Beetles" (FastBASIC 4.6), "Coordinator" (Atari BASIC) and "Sweeper" (FastBASIC 4.6).
