Dan The Digger wins Basic 10-Liner ContestPrint page

This is a little post to celebrate Commocore's great achievement this year as Dan The Digger 10 game won the Basic 10-Liner Contest 2024 in the PUR-80 category!
If you don't know what this means, let me explain. Namely, the PUR-80 category means that each line can contain a maximum of 80 characters. This means that the entire game program written in BASIC cannot be longer than 800 characters. I have been participating in this competition for 3 years in a row since 2021, so I am even more happy that I finally managed to write a game that received such great verdict from the jury, and especially, I hope, sympathy from the players themselves! I guess the main character just melted everyone's heart? The second game I entered into the competition was Incrediball 10, which took a high 7th place. If it weren't for the fact that I forgot to add a description of the game listing, the game would have received an additional 0.5 points. But that's history.
The competition was really tough. There have been so many good games made that I still can't believe Dan The Digger 10 won! I would like to thank all the participants and the organiser for a really great initiative! It was the 13th edition, can you believe it? It's a lot of fun so I highly encourage everyone to join in!
