Thats a very good question. I'll try to add a link to your most recent upload so that you may confirm that you've uploaded or updated it correctly.

Same as last year however where if you are still within the same stage as the last upload it will overwrite the older one, however as soon as the deadline rolls over you will write a new file and upload anew the first upload of that stage.

Why on earth are the times for submission EST

:?
Aren't they supposed to be GMT

It's not like us on the other side of the world have to keep working it out each time, is it?

The same could be said of those of us not used to seeing our time as GMT+/- offset value. Fex, I know that I'm -1 EST to get to CST unless I'm in our Seattle office then I'm -3 EST cuz I'm in PST

.

Just my two cents, but a time zone is a time zone. All that matters is that we have a deadline that is fixed

.

BTW: Good Luck ILovePascal, from your other questions and posts it sounds like your well on your way thus far. Just remember, its all for fun and your first year IS going to be a bit rough.

Quick question on allowable game engines: am I authorized to use... the AirBlast engine from last time? :roll: It's Pascal and open-source...

Wouldn't be a vanilla reuse of course, but given my likely time budget this year (real low), there are quite a few things in there that would help cut development time down for this new PGD round...

**Sascha Willems** · 08-02-2007, 11:34 AM

Yes, you're allowed to reuse your engine. As long as the engine is written in Pascal and most of the content is made especially for this contest you're allowed to use a premade engine.

Oh no Eric is competing

The Airblast engine is great.

. the competition is hotting up :lol:

**WILL** · 08-02-2007, 02:53 PM

Indeed! I am proud to say that both of the previous champions of the 2005 and 2006 competitions are in this one. We should all expect some pretty amazing results this year. :thumbup:

Since the topic of the last 2 competitions has come up, I guess it would be a great time to mention to all that I have recently updated the 2005 PGD 'Dogfight' Competition page to match with our current competition system thats available right here!

It contains restored games, sources, screenshots, scoring results and judge's comments.

Hehe,.. agreed on all three points

I can't wait to see the first screenshots / videos pop up.

Nice work with the 2005 competition page WILL, it looks great!

**WILL** · 08-02-2007, 04:24 PM

Oh also another quick reminder for all those that haven't registered or haven't submitted your design documents, tomorrow is the last day to do so!

Don't miss out of those 20 points! They could make the difference of that one place to rank in the competition.

Thanks

Tonight I'm hoping to have another video ad released. The only thing left is some final editing and then I can render it for display in both the YouTube/Yahoo! Video and the Google Video formats.

Time is going to be a major factor though, and right now, I'm more designing around the 3d/2d resources I will not have time to make than anything else :roll:
