4k contest is where?

woogley or anybody else… what do I need to submit my games? ???

I think you can just post a reference to the game in all official places;

  1. http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2954234 - Official JDC Forums thread
  2. http://www.java-gaming.org/cgi-bin/JGNetForums/YaBB.cgi?board=announcements;action=display;num=1103678522 - Official JGO Forums thread
  3. This forum (JGO, “Your games here”).

You probably don’t want to write all the info in all the places, though… just give a reference, as stated above. I’m not sure, but by doing this I’ve gotten one entry (only one before last update) on the “official” contest site: http://woogley.net/games.html

The html doesn’t count if it’s an applet. (Was that different in the past?)

For starters you can specify command line parameters for
free if the webstart descriptor isn’t included.

Parameters aren’t allowed if their purpose is to carry some data. They are allowed for changing the default behaviour like using 16bit instead of 32bit.

So will the rules be updated ?

“The game must be playable on command line OR via JWS (or both of them)”

My game in Pack200.GZIP + JNLP file is smaller than a single jar, meaning i could put more code inside, but this couldn’t be played anymore on command line (java -cp… doesn’t undestand Pack.gz format).
