Hi Guys,
My GeForce 3 packed up after the last competition so I hope this year your entries won't fry my GPU .

I need to buy a new motherboard, CPU and GPU combination and I won't be able to buy them until Saturday the 21st so my Desktop specs won't be know until then. I will post my laptop specs this week-end, actually they are the same as last year's ( if anyone remembers what that was ).

So if anyone here knows a good and not overly expensive motherboard, CPU and GPU combination that will work as soon as I build the system, please let me know either via this thread or PM me ASAP.

I am just wondering.. let's say a developer has already finished a game , how can we be sure that all games are 0% ready? Is this a matter of trust? a finished game would have a tremendous advantage and there is no way it can be verified.

Well this happen everywhere everytime. I think it's up to people
intelligence only. Would it be fun to join a compo without challenge? I hope
no... The only think are prizes.. mmmm... Admins, tell us your strategy

About 0% i don't agree because everyone, and me also, have it's own
lib/functions/utils/framework to start from. I won't rewrite already done
code to setup things or handle input.. but i suppose this is an obvious
point

Well, he will have to work hard to undo most of the stuff he made, to reduce the game to the state of 10% ready, in order to satisfy the requirements of the first stage. Otherwise, it'll be very obvious, isn't it?

How I can change structure of my team after registration? :)

Anyone that wants to change their registered info AFTER they have registered for the competition, please PM or email me. I can make the changes manually. Due to some hardware issues I have been sorting out lately I was unable to complete some of the scripting yet.


As for 0% completed starts. Well I think Lifepower said it best. Although we can never be 100% sure that fair play is adheired to with everyone, it is incredibly difficult to fake a development process. The judges will be checking throughout the competition at each stage to see how it's coming. So they'll know just by having a decent memory.

i think it should be rather easy to check if somebody is posting an already made game. I can't imagine that a programmer will not write large pieces of code over a few times. So i agree with Lifepower :roll:

I sent you a PM about project questions 3 days ago, any answer on if the project would be valid or not for the compo?

Thanks,
