Failure to run on a particular machine means losing points, not disqualification! There may or may not be an Intel Mac available. All machines will have OpenGL drivers on them.<\/li>\n<li>Submissions are to be sent to <a href=\"mailto:competition 'at' puppygames.net\"\/>competition &#8216;at&#8217; puppygames.net<\/a> (replace &#8216;at&#8217; as appropriate)<\/li>\n<li>There are <strong>no restrictions at all<\/strong> on file size, library use, language, etc. Use the tool that works best for you!<\/li>\n<li>The theme for the game submission is <strong>digging, tunnels, earth, channels, dirt<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Scoring is based in equal weights on <strong>graphics, sound, polish, fun<\/strong> and is multiplied by the number of judging machines the game successfully runs on and then further multiplied by your <strong>theme ranking<\/strong> which is how well you adhered to the theme (and that&#8217;ll prevent you from just slapping a title on a game you already had like &#8220;Digger&#8221; and winning on graphics and sound you developed over a four year period ;))<\/li>\n<li>Scoring in each category is simply by rank against all the other games.<\/li>\n<li>First prize is a paltry $100 PayPalled to you. So enter for the glory and don&#8217;t waste too much time on it eh?<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t use <strong>any<\/strong> material you do not have the right to redistribute, or you will be disqualified, if we find out \ud83d\ude09 (Remember, there are more points available for polish, fun, and theme than graphics and sound so don&#8217;t waste too much time on graphics and sound!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ladies and gentlemen, <em>start your engines!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As recently discussed on this thread on Javagaming.org, we are holding a little competition for Java developers.
