Quote:
Welcome to the Cutting EDGE Coding Competition! This competition is open to all developers, whether you are an individual, a group of individuals or a company who is using either an evaluation or commercial version of the EDGE library.
We decided to make a few changes in the competition. First of all, due to popular demand the deadline is extended to August 31st 2006!
Additionally, thanks to our collaboration with Pocketmotion, creators of the TiltCONTROL hardware device, we extended the competition with a new category: Best TiltCONTROL Enabled Game. As of version 2.40, EDGE fully supports the TiltCONTROL technology.
This divides the Cutting Edge Coding Competition in two categories: Best Cross Platform Game and Best TiltCONTROL Enabled Game.
As for the prizes: We believe it wouldn't be fair to offer a Gizmondo unit after the collapse of Tiger Telematics earlier this year, so we came up with a nice replacement for the Best Cross Platform Game category: an iPod Video! Furthermore, the kind folks at Pocketmotion offer a Sony PSP as the grand prize in the Best TiltCONTROL Enabled Game category!
Category "Best Cross Platform Game"
The submitted game supports at least two platforms (i.e. Windows Mobile Pocket PC, Symbian Series 60, Windows Mobile Smartphone). The judging criteria will be based on:
1. Cross Platform considerations
2. Originality
3. Game Play
4. Fun Factor
Any additional support such as graphical effects and multi-networking games will earn you extra credit!
Prize
The winner will receive a ton of cool stuff:
- An iPod Video
- A two year commercial EDGE license
- $5,000 worth of free advertising at Clickgamer.com to promote the winning game
