Thats not the point at all. Creating a non-interactive demo using your engine is harder than creating an interactive one for many reasons ( I can''t be arsed to go into them here ). Whether you can do the same thing with a modelling program is absolutely irrelevent.

I totally disagree. Collision detection, physics, multiplayer code, menus, and tweaking the movement took up took up easily 90% of the coding time for my 4e3 entry. To put this in perspective, the non-interactive intro took me an hour.

There are just so many more things you have to consider when writing an interactive entry, and it''s so much easier to make a non-interactive entry look nice when you can position the camera exactly where you want it all the time.

Ok... yeah... I agree.

Death of one is a tragedy, death of a million is just a statistic.

How could I know when the contest begins???
Do you think that we will receive a letter???

glForever();

Buna ziua! (or do you speak Russian?) Any contest will be announced on NeHe''s website. You will also probably hear alot about it in the forum.

Please don''t. I''ve had 2 people agree with me recently, and it''s starting to get me worried.

Check out NeHe Productions regularily (say, every week) and read the news posted by NeHe himself.
When a new constest start, you''ll see it first.
Also, the new contest may be announced at www.gamedev.net or some other sites, but that''s obviously a bit later.

I have never heard of any kind of newsgroup where NeHe exclusively announces contests.

NeHe creates 1 or 2 contests every year. Because there was 1 contest this year, probably there will be another one until the end of the year, probably not. What is almost certain is that there will be another one next year, but still I can not guarantee that.
