Hi All,
I hope you are all working on your entries.

Just a quick post to say that the Judges machine specs for the competition ('http://www.pascalgamedevelopment.com/competitions.php?p=details&c=1') have been updated.

I have unfortunately had to stand down from being a judge, due to some unforseen personal issues. Luckily LifePower has agreed to be a judge and supplied his machine specs. Thanks LifePower!

To the organizers of the 2006 'Big Boss Competition':

I had registered as an individual under the name 'Paul Nicholls'.

Due to personal reasons, I am going to have to drop out
from the competition :(

I would have loved to continue competing, but I can't...

Can this be arranged befor the 11th Feb deadline for the second stage?

Thanks :)

Paul Nicholls.

I have upated the Judges specs yet again as LifePower is unable to judge due to other project commitments. There are still 2 judges, I just did not get the chance to update Eric Grange's ( last year's winner ) machine specs until today.

Its good news to hear that Eric will be a judge, but that almost means that we need to push our games a bit more as I'm sure his expectations will be higher then most :).

According to the rules, judging for stage two is pretty much did you get your files in on time. If you did then you got 5 points, if you didn't you got 0 points. Savage posted that only twenty teams managed to make the stage 2 deadline, but of course missing a deadline doesn't put you out of the running :).

Sent this morning! Sorry for the delay :oops:

Dunno about my expectations, but I've brought judges hardware specs higher than most :wink:

Doesn't mean you have to aim for the latest trend in graphics or multicore technology, but if some teams want to aim high-tech, there will be hardware capable of running the games with those high-quality options activated.


Smile, initially I believe he was entered for the competition, but has since agreed to be judge.

Had to admit free-time defeat :?
Last year's PGD competition chanced to overlap with one month of high free time, didn't look like it would happen this year...

Well, I know for mine the hardware requirements are quite minimal. In fact I got a version working last night that could run on Windows 95 in GDI mode at about 65 fps. So I'm happy thus far. Now if I can just figure out how I want to wrap up my Sprite and Object Objects for LUA I'm set and it will be content from here out.
