Contest 2: Open


This category was the most fun to judge. Here is where we saw a lot of stuff we never thought was possible. There's some very creative stuff here. A number of these apps deserve to go out into the world and be seen!

The winner listed first. Other apps are listed in alphabetical order.
kHiTeAnim by Edward Green ***WINNER***
This is a stunning program that has to been seen. It has short video clips of kites flying, showing various aerobatic moves. Great graphics on the splash screen, too! Ed did this within a week of getting NS Basic/Palm, after 9 years of not programming at all.

Judge's Comments: Not only did this program do stuff we didn't know could be done in NS Basic, we didn't know it could be done on a Palm! Download
