NESdev Compo: The Rules
Tentative deadline for submissions is the end of April 2011. There is not an exact hour, just go by your local time.
3 categories:
Prize:
TBA
to 1st, 2nd, 3rd place in the NES Programs and Freestyle categories.
Fine print:
No ripped music, no ripped graphics, no ripped code (i.e., no "total conversion" ROM hacks). Contestants are encouraged to use music, graphics, and code created by others - if it can be used with permission. Cover songs are allowed! Note that for code (music engines for an obvious example), if the author released the source code, and it doesn't say otherwise, then permission to use it is implied.
