Nice neo , you always support homebrew. Thanks for another contest :D.
-
Really nice ! I was waiting for this ! But I have a question :
If I enter my game now, can I update it for bug fixes or some new functions ?
-
title says
NEO Summer coding contest 2009 for NDS(GBA) and PSP first announcement
*** close time: Aug.20th 2009 ***
So i guess it yes, also the splashcreen contest will be until 10 augustus so then everyoe has to implement splashscreen, so i think you can post before that.
-
Really nice ! I was waiting for this ! But I have a question :

You have about 1 month time ... The comp end time is : 20th August 2009.
Just don't forget to add the neo spash screen which will be available at 10th August !!! .
The 4 NEO Top Review winners (each division will have one TOP winner) can choose anyone item from the whole prize list ,or choose US$100 cash.
So ,DrNeo , this year the top 4 reviewers can choose between cash and a prize?
Whatever is the case i will probably do some reviews since i have so much free time in the summer ~sm-33.gif~ ~sm-33.gif~ ::sm-17.gif:: ::sm-17.gif:: ::sm-12.gif::...

this year the top 4 reviewers can choose between cash and a prize? --- YES

I'm very surprised that there havn't been any entries yet. I don't think its that people arn't interested, perhaps that we're all just still working. Still, I thought it might be helpful to post to say that I should be entering; though, probebly not until the end of the competition. My project still needs quite some work before it'll be in any fit state to be submitted.

There's usually a huge rush in the last week or so.
-
Fair enough. It's just, other years when I've entered, there would've been at least one or two entries by now...

hi, I'm spanish (my english comprension is not very good)
http://khlavkalash.wordpress.com/
http://khlavkalash.wordpress.com/2009/07/27/morseds/
I'm thinking to present my MorseDS NDS APP (I think is an APP, because translate morse code...) or can be a GAME.....
can you tell me what I need to present my proyect?
thanks
pd: NS/NC is other GAME that I'm making... but the questions of the game are in spanish... only have menus in (spanish-english-french)
-
Looking at the screenshots, I'd guess that your program is an app, although I can't read the text. Perhaps if you gave us a brief explaination of what it does then I could make a more informed decision, but in the meantime I'd post it under applications.
-
- The homebrew in principle intended to be a Morse translator also add some images and examples to learn a bit forgotten that communication system.
As I understand it, it also includes a tutorial.

1. The splash screen will be chosen in about a week and a half.
So , you either wait for the neo team to pick the best splash or , pick one temporary from here:

2. I'm afraid i can't answer that ~sm-31.gif~ ...

mmmmm look at this.....

and rules
http://www.scenebeta.com/noticia/scenery-beta-2009-international-homebrew-showcase-rules
I must say that scenebeta is an spanish speakers community... spanish language homebrews I think will be best rated........ but It's my opinion
if you pass the rules, you can enter... of course
-
It would be nice if you speak about the Scenery Beta in other websites
I bet the guys at PAlib would like to know... but I don't have an account there.

Another compo, really nice! :D

Hey, I have some questions if you don't mind.
The Deadline is August 20th. In what timezone? I'm just wondering if it's August 20th 12:00 AM (GMT + 8:00) or just August 20th 12:00 AM (GMT). Or if we can submit as long as it's still August 20th somewhere in the world.
We retain full rights to the programs we enter right? I'm sure the answer is yes, but I'm pretty cautious about things like that.
The final question is about the source code. I understand that we don't have to make it public, but is it required that we PM it to you? I had trouble understanding the way that part of the description was worded.
Sorry if these questions are dumb, or if it's kind of late to be asking them. This would be my first coding competition, and I only just heard about it.

I think i can answer these questions , since they've been asked many times:
1) Your country's timezone , when you see the clock reaching 23:59 , that is!
Most devs usually release some beta versions a day or two before the deadline...And they try to take advantage
of the last few hours just to release a more polished version!.
2) Yes
3) Source isn't required
4) Doesn't matter , hope everything will turn good for you! ~sm-36.gif~ ~sm-36.gif~
-
Dr. Neo always says YOUR timezone but he hasn't really been strict in the past, entries are usually accepted as long as it's still August 20th somewhere in the world.
You don't have to release source code. I doubt anyone will give you more votes for releasing source code but it can't hurt.
You keep all rights but sometimes neoflash will bundle your entry on a CD with one of their devices.
edit: changed 19th to 20th.
-
I thought by entering we surrendered all rights to the submitted program to Neoflash; so that they may sell it or use it commercially alongside one of their products. I might be wrong, though.
-
Well if you made it from scratch then you still own and can release it or sell or do what you want with it but yes you do give Neoflash permission to include your entry with their products.

Still no APPS ? ~sm-33.gif~ ... Last summer i tried to predict the APP division failure and i failed ~sm-34.gif~ .

Actually, you can enter as long as it's the 20th somewhere in the world (i mean, until 11h59PM on the 20th, not the 19th). :P

Uhm can I partecipate with two homebrews in the same category?
-
I don't think that's allowed. Sorry. I don't really know why not, though...
-
[4] You can enter the PSP/NDS/GBA's GAME contest and APP contest at the same time, without any limit.
I think that means you can... ask Dr. Neo.
-

People have done it in the past, so yes, you can. :)

1 day left ::sm-10.gif:: , i wonder if psp app/game division will make it ::sm-10.gif:: ::sm-15.gif:: ~sm-36.gif~

I'm still planning to enter a PSP game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VuDGJpVROE
Thanks for everyone's answers and I swear I'm not trying to be obtuse, but I'm still not 100% sure on the date, even with the edit made to Sektor's post. Can I be absolutely sure I have another day and that I can work on the 20th, and submit it before the 21st? Or must I submit before the 20th meaning I have less than 24 hours from now to work on it? Because it drastically affects what I'll be able to get done. I suppose I'll end up submitting something before the 20th just to be safe, but it'll be missing a big thing I have planned. (Though I'm not sure I'll get the big thing done anyway.)
-
As i said before, it's before the 21st.
-
Excellent. Since most people are saying that, I'll go with it.
-
What time on August 20th? And what timezone?
-
What time on August 20th? And what timezone?
1)23:59:59 ... ::sm-23.gif::
2)your timezone ~sm-42.gif~
-
1)23:59:59
2)your timezone
What if someone just so happens to be on vacation and it just so happens that the timezone he is in is an hour slower than his timezone and he, therefore, has one hour more before midnight... in theory?
-
The official rule is YOUR timezone but I doubt anyone is going to check, just make sure it's still the 20th in some part of the world.
