The Second Annual Dream On Contest has begun, and this year it's even bigger than the last! And it's even bigger than ever thanks to wraggster! The Dream Coding Grand Prix 2005 has merged with Dream On 2 to provide the biggest contest the Dreamcast community has seen so far! This year, the contest is broken up into three categories:

1) Professional Game Creation - This is the category that was the sole contest last year. Create a polished game for the Dreamcast (multiple levels of play, title screen, music, high scores, etc.) to be released commercially.

2) Amateur Game Creation - This category is to appease the entrants who didn't meet the criteria for last year's competition. The entries in this category don't have to be commercial quality, but they do have to be programmed in C, C++, or SH4 Assembly (SDL or another games library is fine).

3) Emulator Creation - Create or port (with the author's explicit permission that this be allowed to enter into the contest) an emulator for any system for the Dreamcast.

4) Anything Goes - This is the fun category. Create anything that isn't included in the categories above (BOR Mods, Games Created in Fenix, Doom/Quake mods, emulators, ports of existing software (with author's explicit permission that this be allowed to be entered into the contest), Applications, Multimedia Software, and anything that you can imagine that we hadn't covered in the above.

Are Fenix games submittable?

[Mental2k]

okay the last couple of posts in this have disappeared, but, if Fenix is GPL, then

Does the GPL allow me to sell copies of the program for money?
Yes, the GPL allows everyone to do this. The right to sell copies is part of the definition of free software. Except in one special situation, there is no limit on what price you can charge. (The one exception is the required written offer to provide source code that must accompany binary-only release.)
