First off my apologys for the lateness of this annoucementof who has won this competition.[br]If you remember the competition was to create a Dreamcast or GP32 game that is for Children and has Learning values.[br][br]The competition called Dream Coding Grand Prix (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/dcgp.shtml) is the first joint GP32 and Dreamcast scene coding competition and sponsored by Lik Sang (http://www.lik-sang.com/default.php?lsaid=219793), all the entrys for both competitions can be found Here (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/dcgpentrys.shtml).[br][br]Because of the lateness of the time between the finish of the competition and any judging being done i had to call in a very special guest judge, that judge being my daughter Katie Wragg a 12 year old and perfect to judge a Child/Learning comp from a different point of view to my own, so heres the full judging with comments.[br][br][b]Play With The Band (GP32 Entry)[br]The game play with the band is a good game, I especially favor the animations it is a very creative game and anyone who has a passion for music is sure to love it! It could be improved by maybe a few instructions. The game enables very good varietys of instruments and songs. The game also includes a chance to compose a song which is my favourite bit of the game enabling me to let my imagination run wild. The maker has done a very good job on making the game and I look forward to any new games the maker designs.[br][br][b]Vocabumonkey[br]The game vocabumonkey is a good educatinal game which is certain to teach youngsters thier spellings. My favourite thing was the animation and im sure other people will love the animations as I do. To improve this game and make it even better thier could be some sound,this is a good way to improve spelling and a lot of effort has been put into the making of the game and it is a success![br][br][b]Popacap[br]The game popacap is a very enjoyable way to learn your english and much more! My favourite was the use of the gun, I also enjoyed the music in the background im sure people will enjoy it a lot, even down to the thrill of holding the gun! To improve this game I would sugest some animation, the designer has put a lot of great ideas together to make this such a thrilling game. I am looking forward to any further games the designer may make, overall this game was a success. [br][br][b]Dream Coding Grand Prix 2004 Results[br]Im pleased to announce that the winner of the competion is [b]Popacap I would like to congratulate them on the making of thier splendid game! In 2nd place is Play with the Band,and in 3rd is Vocabumonkey.[br][br]So there you have it the winner of the first Dream Coding Grand Prix is [br][br]1st place: Popacap by Toastman[br]2nd place: Play With the Band by falken80[br]3rd place: Vocabumonkey by GPF[br][br]I would like to say thanks to Lik Sang (http://www.lik-sang.com/default.php?lsaid=219793) for sponsoring this first joint Dreamcast and Gamepark 32 contest in conjunction with DCEmu UK (http://www.dcemu.co.uk) and GP32 Xtreme (http://www.gp32x.com).[br][br]I would like the winners to pm me with your names and addresses so i can forward them to Lik Sang (http://www.lik-sang.com/default.php?lsaid=219793).

Wow. I am pleased and surprised. After seeing both "Play with the Band" and "Vocabumonkey", I knew PopACap wouldn't be a shoe-in. (And I am glad that there were other participants as well.) I would like to thank (in no particular order): Lik-Sang, the sponser; DCEmu.co.uk and GP32 Extreme, the hosts; falken80 and Troy Davis (GPF), the participants; and Katie Wragg, the special guest judge.
I don't know what else to say, thank you everyone. I am just so hyped up right now, after all the tension and buildup.

I thought vocabumonkey was an interesting one and kids will enjoy it very much. I havent tried Pop "A" Cap but i will be giving that one a try for sure. The other one which was made for GP32 looks really interesting and i wish i had my GP32 that broke sometime last year :(.
