Game CONTEST-- WITH PRIZES!!

Hey all, Im gonna start an 8k game creation contest with quality PRIZES. Such as domain names(.org .com .net .biz) adspace, or web space.
If yall would be interested reply to this thread and ill give you guys more info. Since this contest includes prizes there will have to be a minimum number of entrants(25), so tell all your friends!

What do you mean by a 8k game contest? Imo it sounds like you can win 8k (USD?) but then you wrote that prizes are domains and web space. (?)
Ok, how much does a domain cost? I pay $9 /domain and year. Webspace I pay $5 month :wink: Not what I would call “quality prizes” tbh.

If you don´t get alot of replys, that is most probably the reason 8)

No, an “8K” contest will be a contest where all entries must be less than or equal to 8KB in size.

It’s not always about the prizes though - some people just like to compete, and getting a free domain name at the end of it is just a bit of a laugh.

well, is anyone interested?

yes i meant 8 kilobytes, where u can get a prize of a free domain name.

What’s this strange obsession with 8K games? That’s almost like, Vic-20 days. Can we not at least have a meg? Sort of fits on a floppy disk kinda thing?

Cas :slight_smile:

darcone, you dont have to be so bitchy and i cant believe that you didnt have enough common sense to figure out that 8k was 8kb I mean come on. Also, for the prizes think about it, your designing a game thats 8kb… how big do you expect the prizes to be. Its good enough thats hes actually offering prizes and Darcone if you dont want to participate in these contests dont post in their threads.

Oh and javatypo, im interested.

I’m definitely interested. Not that I have any kind of experience at this, but I’d give it a try anyway. It should be fun. I have a few questions though:

Does 8k refer to the size of the class files (and optional graphics) combined or a JAR file?

Do you accept J2ME or J2SE games, or both?

If you want J2SE games, what J2SE version should the games run on? Should they be applets or applications?
Are they allowed to use APIs like Java3D or GL4Java? What versions?

If you want J2ME games, what configurations and profiles can be used? What versions? Is the use of proprietary APIs permitted?

Do you require the source code to be submitted?

And of course: how much time till the deadline?

Obviously not all of these questions apply to me, but I think these should be made clear.

come to digitaldesigners.org for more info on that… since im not the organizer
