General Rules:

All systems will take part in one pot!
Participants keep their full copyright.
Games must not contain any copyright violation (Use of copyrighted characteres, titles, etc.). By entering a title you guarantee to have (obtained) all rights on the used code, media, graphics, etc. We reserve the right to refuse and/or disqualify entries violating copyright. In case you have obtained permissions to use copyrighted stuff, we want to see a proof.
The game must be freely distributeable to everyone - We don't care under what kind of license your are going to release it.
Due to fairness we do NOT allow plain ports. Everyone should have the same base to start an entry. We don't have a problem if you get impressions from other existing games.
Games have to be unreleased and stay unreleased till the final results are out, but can be announced or promoted beforehand.
Submit as many entries as you like. Each entry seperated in one compressed file (.zip prefered)
Judges are allowed to enter, but their entry will not be voted/scored for a prize. Same applies if a judge is indirectly involved in a production (eg. leveldesign, graphics, music, ...)
Submit your entry to submission(at)pdroms(dot)de - By submitting your entry, you agree to have fully understand all given rules.
Submission Deadline is Sunday 04.03.2007 23:59 in YOUR timezone.
We reserve the right to modify rules, for better and clearer understanding. We are also in the position to RAISE the prize money or add more prizes at any time. Any changes will be stated out at the bottom of this page.
Rules for your production:

We do NOT accept Fenix, Python and LUA coded games - use a REAL coding language, thank you!
The entry must be child-proof - No abusive material (racism, pornography, extreme violence...)
You can use the full size resolution of your picked system, but the game has to be on one screen.
The "sprites" must be in one color, preferably black.
The background picture can contain as many colours as you like, but keep the colors realistic in relation with the foreground.
The game must play like those old "Nintendo Game & Watch" or "Q&Q" games. To get a proper impression have a look at this picture:

As start sequence you have to show all "sprite positions" at once (see picture), if you add a logo or anything before such a screen, is your choice (xy presents or similar stuff)
Please don't add funky music to your entry, a LCD game doesn't have real music. We expect beep sounds
Prizes:

#1 150 US$
#2 100 US$
#3 50 US$

If you submit three games and all three games rank in the TOP 3 you will take all the money.
The prize money is paid per winning title. If a team has worked on an entry, they have to share things themselves.
To claim your prize money there are a few ways: 1) Paypal 2) A bank account in the European Union or 3) Money transfer via Western Union (any transfer fees for that will be cut from your prize money!)
Judging:

We judge on gameplay, gamefun, realism and originality. Use the advantages or disadvantages of your selected submission platform in a wise way and get more out than other competitiors. We announce the name

Hi, first up I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a new year!
It's back to work tomorrow for some of us :-(

Anyway I nearly quit QuakeDS a few weeks ago - Christmas eve and my CF card decides to die. I go around town looking for cheap cards but of course there are none... When I finally get a couple of them I get home and my gbamp refuses to boot from them! I coax my old CF card back into working again, only to blow another fuse inside my DS! So basically I'd gone home for the Christmas period with nothing to do but Quake and I'd just bricked my DS. Not cool.

But anyway, once I got back in London it was straight onto eBay to get myself the screwdriver to open the thing, then once it arrived there was a fruitless hunt for solder so I could fix the thing. But I'm back up and running now!

So regarding the game progess, all brush models are now textured (mostly) correctly. Some texture co-ordinates don't line up properly but I'm not gonna bother looking into that for a bit. I also just the other day solved the weird texture problems and palette corruption, so it now looks fantastic :-)

One bi-product of fixing the texture weirdness was that it has forced me to do more transformations in hardware, improving the performance. It has also broken the Alias model rendering - something I'm going to work on next. I then spent today completely pulling apart the poly generation/dispatch to use absolutely no floating-point numbers, removing the software clipping (which is a shame) and putting even more transformations into the hardware. But it's been totally worth it and the frame rate is just dynamite :-D
