Well I can take full responsibility for the overcomplexity of the last competition. (No pun intended) It was a bit heavy duty and could have scared some away. If there were another I'd say to make it single end deadline. Time to complete is still an issue that's up in the air as to whats best.

What do you guys think about doing a theme like 'AI' or 'Arcade'? Keeping it simple you have to make a came that is about or falls into the category of one of those...

It's been tradition that PGD Annual competitions get sponsorship from Borland/CodeGear so they would likely chip in a copy or 2 of Delphi... Maybe even Delphi Prism now that you can do .NET 3.0 and XNA game dev on it...?

I'd be willing to spot the event a couple hundred myself for the IGF sponsorship or for some hardware instead... Maybe even the prize mugs or something... (Michiel, Frank and Dirk still have and use theirs )
