After a long time, a new "Monthly Contest" is starting next month!

This time with 3 categories:

• Best Game
  
• Best Tutorial
  
• Best Code
  

How to participate?

You participate by posting an entry in the current thread, e.g. “Monthly Contest: December 2012”. For every new contest I will open a new thread. Each Contest begins on 1st day of the month at 00:00:01 AM Central European summer time("CEST") and ends on the last day of the month at 11:59:59 PM CEST.

An entry should consist of:

1. Download link to game application (submitting source code is necessary for code- and tutorial-entries, for games it is a plus)
   
2. Game Description
   
3. 2-3 Screenshots
   

And please mention the category in which you want to submit your application.

1. Download link to application
Develop a playable game/ tutorial application using the Delta Engine. Post a download link to the application.

2. Game Description
Describe the game/ tutorial in a few sentences.

3. Screenshots
2-3 from the game/ tutorial.

Prizes

There will be 3 Winners, one in each category.
We will announce the winner in each category at the beginning of the next month.

Every winner in each category gets prizes with a value of over $300 each:

• Delta Engine Basic+ License for 12 months, value $180
  
• $120 Prize Money (to your PayPal account)
  
• Limited Edition Delta Engine pocket lamp
  

Rules

Each participant needs a Delta Engine Account (which is free) and will be judged on the usefulness for the Delta Engine community. A winner cannot participate again for 12 months. It is allowed to resubmit in case you did not win yet. And it is up to you when you want to submit or if you want to share your game, source code, tutorial link, etc. to others early or later in the month.

Good Luck!

Hi Internetfreak,

1. No (Use 0.9.6)
2. Yes (You have to include an .exe, not just a link to the tutorial itself).
3. No (You cannot participate in any category for the next 12 month if you win in a certain category)
4. This is already answered in Answer 2.

Hope this helps .

So that really means, I have to write new stuff to participate? That's as I said a bit complicated because I currently have no idea and since 0.9.6 isn't really much to use (it's only the first relase of many ;) ), I will have my trouble to write something cool.
I also got an really good tutorials which is quite young (not long before 0.9.6 was announced) but ok, if I can't use it, I will try to do something to still be able to participate^^

Just one question: For participating at the "Best Code"-Contest, can I also submit project templates? If yes, then I already have something in mind :)
But, how should I do it with the screenshots? I probably cannot submit more than one screenshot because it will be something basic because delta currently doesn't allow complex things :)

It's me again with a new question. Can I also participate with code which could be useful for delta but doesn't really contain any stuff which is coming from Delta? I have something in mind which could be useful for delta, if it gets part of the engine but it doesn't depend on code from the delta engine because it is more or less independent from any project (you can implement it where you want and it will be still useful)

Ok, that sounds good. I'm sure it should be useful, at least I hope so :)
Well then, I'll probably start today so we can have some results in a few days.
