Is there a restriction to what enviroment/compiler you use, cause i recently got coding on Borland DS, and i gota say its like VB except its alittle bit harder and whole heck faster. !

The only problem with this might be that Delphi is a proprietary environment. Can Tony swing the cash to purchase it?

And will it run on my PowerPC Mac?

What languages does this contest cover? I have a final project that I am making for my programming class and if I get it completed or more then 75% done by the due date I will probably enter it.

I am making a game in web site form, is that okay?

(sorry if I am asking previously answered questions)

Well it is a programming contest. That means you can use any programming language as long as the compiler is free and runs on Tony's computer.

Okay, will do. Its a website so I guess depending on his connection, it should run

An ending date would be nice to know, even though im planning to hand in my [FP] within the month. Is there a prize for first project handed in?

[Tony]

I thought we went by the academic years for [FP] contests? So the end date will be whenever schools usually finish in 2007 (June?)

I don't think there will be a prize for the first project to be _handed in_

Thats good, the prize should be about the effort and skill that went into the program / site (in my case) and the appreciation for code that the person has, not speed.
(Tried to sound like I had a really, really had a good, head nodding, "Oh definitely" point - did it work?)

It's not even the speed (the time it took to code) cause its 1.5 weeks in the making and is gonna take another 1 - 1.5 weeks to complete. im done the simple version for my final project for school, time now to fix er' up for the [FP] submissions *groan*. It's in VB so I'm not sure if theres gonna be many people in that catergory(im sure Silent Avenger and cool_dude will cook something up, along with the others always in the VB help section).

@ Tycoon - Agreed. So, I'll see you at the contest, eh? (hooray stereotypical canadian!)

Already cooked something up I made a Javanoid game just for rdrake because he claims he never played although i told him he did just doesn't know it by name. Although i'm not gonna submit.

[I Smell Death]

is this contest still valid for this year?

[[Gandalf]]

Of course. It's an annual contest...

The only thing in question is the prizes... and I guess the number of submissions.
