I''m pretty sure that SpriteLib is actually free... at least for non-commercial use. I believe the registration is only to allow the guys who did it to see who''s using it.

SpriteLib is free for commercial and non-commercial use. You just need to acknowledge the product in your game''s credits.
It''s all made clear in the readme file that comes with SpriteLib.
How do I know this? My entry in the contest is a commercial game

After seeing his small-format games turned down for what turned out to be Tandy's last PC release, he took them independent, eventually releasing them as several discount game-packs through a couple of publishers. The packs are actually still available on store-shelves, although you'll need a keen eye to find them nowadays. He continues to work in the casual game-space as an independent developer, largely working on games in Flash for his website, The Code Zone (www.thecodezone.com). His current scheme is to distribute his games virally on various web-portals and widget platforms. In addition, John writes weekly product reviews and blogs (over ten years old) for www.gamedev.net from his home office where he lives with his wife and daughter in their home in the woods near Lake Grapevine in Texas.

Wow, quiet a few people are gona enter. As for your questions on when the entry end date is, it is 29th of april. All you have to do to use SpriteLib graphics in your game is include your registration number and give credit to ari fieldman( the creator of SpriteLib ) in your credits screen. You must also send him a free copy of your game. Hes not asking that much, really?

Just a note. . .
For those who are wondering why you can''t download my game, it''s because it''s a commercial product. It''s one of the games in a published game pack that I wrote, so I don''t have the rights to make it available for download.
During the first week of the contest, there wasn''t much interest, so I went ahead and submitted my game just to stir the pot. The contest-meister was gonna put up some screen shots, so folks could at least see what it looks like. There''s one screen shot here. I''ll probably send him a few just so folks can see what it looks like.
The game itself is fairly good. I would have rather submitted Zap Pod!, which is a much better game, but the only SpriteLib I used in that game was the picture of the asteroid.

Just played through the games that are up. (Found my Top 50 Blazing cd so I could play John''s game too.
Is it just me, or does the pacman-like game sound like the guy is cursing when you get an extra life? (Not that it bothers me, it was just surprising.)
The games are all really fun. I guess I should see if I can get my entry put together in time.
