Background: I spent the last while organizing a contest themes page to act as a central repository for our ideas. You can check it out at: http://www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/~rramraj/Gamedev/Themes.htm By tomorrow I expect to have the documentation done on general contest stuff like deadlines ect. Its basically a synopsis of things we've discussed put into one document. I'll also be posting a few other bits of info summarized from our discussion on the next potential contest (check out http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=271155 for the whole story or just http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=271155&PageSize=25&WhichPage=9 for the jist). Cheers, - llvllatrix

Excellent summary of topics. Thanks for putting this together!

Thx :)

I'm probably not going to finish the management doc tonight but I do have it planned out. Here are a few things to expect:

- Resource allocation/ Demo submission (how the demos get off your comp and out to the rest of the world
- Contest preamble template (stuff you see on the contest main page along with a few rules ect)
- Copyright issues
- Judging
- Demo themes(more like what makes a theme good ect; not specific themes)
- Contest length discussion
- Limitations
- Target Hardware
- Future Ideas(including asset sharing and the demo hall of fame)

If you have any suggestions, drop me a line at thereisnocowlevel@hotmail.com

Sry for the lack of replies on this thread. Stuff at work eating up my time...should have the management doc done tonight and will start the winamp plugin basecode.

I keep checking the thread. Seems like the site is inactive. Or everybody is in school. I had put a link to some sample winamp plugin code. It is great your taking it up.

I'll keep checking back. Busy here too. Planning to take over the world!!!

Hey guys,

Finally got some time on the weekend; the management doc is about 50% done. I'm trying to provide links and templates for a bunch of stuff, so I need a few resources:

For those that have made avis of their demos, what software did you use to do it? Which codec do you recommend?

I need a really good readme file to act as a template for this contest. Primarily, I'm looking for a professional disclaimer (good legal stuff) as well as good formatting. Any suggestions?

Thx,

Hey it would be nice if you added script that your able to vote for a particular theme and maybe add some comment on the site.

Anyway keep going forward [grin]

Heres a bit of a preview:

The uncompleted subtopics come straight from our discussion post mentioned above, which I should be able to finish quickly...but now, need sleep...

Cheers,

Good idea :) I'm kinda strapped for time right now though, getting the christmas contest basecode done, but it should definitely go on a to do list.
