So are u up for including the milkshape modelers in this contest? We could also have a few prizes(or recognition) for the best artist ect.

I wonder if we could also get the music community in on this...i''ll be like a net wide contest.

If anyone wants to use models they''ll have to use their own model loading code. Getting the milkshape and music communities involved is a great idea, but I think probably not practical for this contest. For music I would have to add to the framework so that people could sync music, e.t.c. Maybe if this contest is succesful a future one might go that bit further but for now I think it''s probably best to keep things simple.

Might save you from writing a game engine...but perhaps a bit too complex...

OK, I know I said it would be ready today, but I got a little carried away testing it.... anyway the code is done I just need to look through it to check that everything is ''presentable'' and add some comments to show people where to add the rendering code. Contest will probably open around 3:00pm GMT tomorrow.

llvllatrix: Thanks for the link I''ll take a look when i have time - been a bit busy playing testing the game.

lol, np

OK, contest is open. Game skeleton is available here.

Rules are in the zip folder. The game is a breakout clone.

The contest closes at 00:00 Sunday 15th February GMT. By my calculation that will be 7:14pm Saturday 14th February, forum time.

Good luck all,
