hi everyone! :)

hello

hi :D/

Welcome to battle of the bits dude/dudette :D

Welcome d00d! :D

Welcome!

hey. just because you cant open any of the files in a battle doesnt mean you're allowed to vote 1 on all of them
(like u did here!)

you'll get a 1-week-troll-ailment, which means you cant vote for a week. please put some thought into your votes and only vote if you really listened to the entries next time, thank you

its probably hidden a bit too well, but if you check an ohb battle page, theres this big OHB logo on the left side, and below it is the format name and a veeeery tiny link "read more" next to it. this leads you to a lyceum article which explains the format and which tools you can use for creating and playing back the files for the battle c:

you're also free to join our irc chat (link is in the top nav-bar of this page) and ask questions there in case botb is too confusing for u at first hehe

(replying to your comment on my profile) empty in what sense? it opens fine here, and each page loads what it should; what do you mean exactly?

thanks for the clarification: do you have javascript disabled in your browser? i didnt want to copypaste the website header multiple times so i made it so each page is loaded dynamically via js (quick disclaimer: i dont know much about webdev)

edit: dont worry, i'm not using any google analytics or social media tracking bs or whatever

:+) no problem! glad you are enjoying the website...

(done! thank you, @Lincent !!! - https://battleofthebits.org/academy/GroupThread/25066/ ) the forum says i don't have enough boons, so, let's post it here: as txt-based music trackers are quite scarce, i tried to start coding a kind of "mod2txt" converter (that eventually would "evolve" to xm, s3m, it, etc.) as a kind of bin2hexdump converter (and back) first (as i was doing with vgm, trying all chips or almost) - so i started with this bash script, mod2hexdump.sh ( https://pastebin.com/raw/X3qQNRX0 ) - and then this sdlbasic script, mod2hexdump.sdlbas ( https://pastebin.com/raw/5KxZ1FNA ) - the result is something like this ( https://pastebin.com/raw/7p0BfkuM ), which can be converted back to .mod and played with a bash script like this, play.sh ( https://pastebin.com/raw/dFW251x7 ) - that's it, be welcome sharing this message to the forum, and thanks! :)

here's a b100, now you can make a post on the forums :)
Just make sure you thank me for all the boons I gave you. :)
