Quote: Doesn't this assume that all games are going to be intended for the same kind of resolution? It's just for recommendation. If you game requires higher resolution, then adjust. I mean, at the very least you have a GFX mode to work with (windowed or fullscreen). -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

And I would hope that at least most games default to Windowed mode. I can't stand full screen mode. |

You don't have to include binaries in the 400kb zip. Did you read the rules? |

I think it's legal to tweak the news, or even use fake news, but it's going to lower your scores in that category. The word "current" is also very relative, you may wish to dig a few weeks back to find something you can work with. And BAF's right, 400kb is not counting the binary. -- |

Depending on your view of time, current can be really relative. For example, compared to the (supposed) age of the earth, even the Civil War or American Revolution could be current. What's the limit? |

BAF said: You don't have to include binaries in the 400kb zip. Did you read the rules? yeah i did.. but i don't remember anything about that, reading it again... it says: "the complete source code must be included with the entry" i guess that means the binary files doesn't? but what about the resources and datafiles and stuff? the source should be able to compile into my game rigth? |

You have to include your source code and any files your game requires that aren't available on the internet as of 2 weeks ago. -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

Well, any code had to be available as of 2 weeks ago to be eligible, and graphics and such have to be included anyway. |

A better layout would be like this: Of course, if you provide a makefile, you can do it however you want. Here's a makefile for you:

Heh, just sat down to prepare my game and thought I'd check this BAF cam thingy. This picture pretty much sums up these hacks: {"name":"591713","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/c\/6\/c6277a8f40bad8c4f5388865b8b27499.jpg","w":635,"h":475,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/c\/6\/c6277a8f40bad8c4f5388865b8b27499"} Now, to work I go! ------------ |

question: a friend of mine asked me if i wanted some music for my game, i was going to ask yes, but i'm unsure whenever that counts as continent, which it should. and if it does, dosen't he have to be a part of my team and sign up? |

Teams are informal anyways. It's fine that he writes music for your game. Remember, you only get 400KB zipped, and sound doesn't compress well. -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

, i didn't think i would find any useable news.. a question: is it legal to.. edit the news a bit? like "they say this happened-but actually this is what really happened" because i think the news are too realistic to be fun. also. about the 400kb compressed file, should it include both the source code and compiled version? or can i use it for small pictures and stuff?
this isn't the time to learn new stuff... if i upload the following:
