Entrys sent to compofiles@thegamecreators.com seem to get forwarded to google mail. Unfortunatly as can be seen here http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=9481&topic=12849 Google Mail does not accept Zipped attachments that contain executable files. Save yourself a failure notice or 2 and use yousendit.com which should work unless its E-mail gets cought in a spam filter.  |

Aslo the .exe is not needed in your post. Dark Physics makes any hot drink go cold. |

I had the same problem. Instead I used SmartFTP to upload to there FTP server. HowDo, read this: "Make sure you have included everything - the source code, the exe file, all media it needs, the author.txt, etc." at http://physxcomp.thegamecreators.com/submit.html So it seems it is needed as part of the entry |

Just to be sure; will everything be okay if a link is provided to a normal zip file. I am pretty sure it should be but just in case. |

@nzjony tired to do that way the first time, but the post system just chucked it back at me, so the only way I could send it was to leave the complied bit out. less to send if you not got the band width. Dark Physics makes any hot drink go cold. |

Correct, if you are emailing your entry, rename the attachment to ._ZIP to bypass googlemail attachment eater. Alternatively you can FTP your entry to our INCOMING folder as specified in the competition page.
