ports are allowed indeed. Of course, if you make Tetris, you may lose some originality points but if you port a game that never got ported to calcs before, I doubt this will affect your originality score unless several similar games were done for calcs, before (which I doubt it's the case), so go ahead ^^

Little update on the rules on front page, to make sure it is clear that Axioms are not allowed in the contest.

Currently the only judge I am aware of is myself ;D But as the time draws closer we should be creating a board of judges to judge the programs.  This will be coupled with a community Poll.

And as for Dj, unfortunately his profile has been active for a while now, although he has disabled PM's and currently lacks the motivation to keep posting here.  For now at least i think he wants to be left alone... :(

DJ posted this on IRC on Friday, after he deleted his profile:

The userbars in my sig are links embedded links.

And in addition to calculator (and Python!) stuff, I mod Civilization 4 (frequently with Python).

DJ and I both have full control over the entries and in the event that something happens, I would take over the control of the contest.  I'm probably in control right now at least temporarily, but I don't think much needs to be done until September and I have a feeling DJ will be back by then *crosses fingers*.  I know Builderboy and myself are judging and I'm pretty sure DJ will judge as well but again, I'm not sure.  There may be more judges too, but if there is any shortage of judges, we can always get some more before the deadline.

Question.

I'm still not positive I'm entering, but...

my Star Trek game was in the works before the contest started. However, I abandoned that one, which was in TI-Basic, and started from scratch, in Axe, after the contest started. Can I use "Star Trek 2 Player" as my entry?

according to rule 5:
5: You are not allowed to enter a project that was started prior the start of the contest. You can use code, images and ideas from it, though.

So since you can use code from a previous project, I'm sure you can start completely new as well.  The TAO program that I am doing was an idea before, but I knew I would have to do it in ASM or something similar.

You would be fine. If the entire BASIC game was finished and released, it would have dropped your originality score a little bit, but since there isn't a lot released yet, you would most likely be fine. Graph would be fine as well

Also, since before the contest started, the judging round was only supposed to occur if we had 3 judges at the contest end. Otherwise, we would skip directly to the survey. No judge were nominated yet and there could be more than 3, depending of how many people volunter.

Can you be a judge and be in the contest?  Not to be partial, but I really want to see some of those entries!  ;)

Spoiler For =====My Projects=====:
Minor setback due to code messing up.  On hold for Contest.

The Game is only a demo, the code that allows one to win hasn't been done.

You don't need to be a judge to see the entries.  Everyone will post their entries when the contest expires.  And no, no one who has an entry in the contest can be a judge because that's completely biased.

Oh, and btw, TAO is going to be released separate from the competition.  I will do another game instead.
