You just need to release DarkBASIC/ Professional/ DarkGDK source code, you don't have to release the DLL's source code.
Quote: "2)The competition is only for one person? or a team can make a game?"
You can enter a team if you like, pick a representative, they will receive the prizes, it's then up to your team how that prize is distributed. I won't bring TGC into the middle of any internal arguments.
Remember, this is a mini-game competition. Most mini-game concepts don't require a team.
3)About this point:
Quote: "Quote: "Entries remain the property of their authors, but full and free (non-exclusive) distribution rights of the source code and the standalone EXE version are granted in perpetuity to TGC."
If I have a bussiness can I distribute my game paid or free?."
It means we can publish both your source code and compiled exe on our website. Beyond that you can do whatever you like with it, it's your code, your game. Sell, give it away for free. Just be aware that your game will be available for download on our website indefinitely along with your source code.
Quote: "Hmm sounds like fun! I have one question. Even though i think on the rules list it said you can i just want to make sure. We can use 3rd party dlls and stuff right? So Sparky's Collision would be fine to use? "
Yes you can use third party plugins. Bare in mind any licence agreements that may come with these plugins. But that's an issue between you and the plugin author, it's not something TGC is responsible for.
Quote: "I would really like to join this competition but I read that you have to be signed up for the TGC store...I watched the video, but I can't register. It says I need to agree to the TGC Store terms and conditions (already read and agree with) but when I go to them, its just the terms and conditions it won't even let me accept them..."
You need to scroll down the page, and put a tick in the other boxes listed then click on submit.
Quote: "Should a minigame consist of one task or can it be two tasks?
Maybe someone could create a minigame design thread?
Time to design "
The definition is pretty liberal .
Quote: "Can you not just use the forum account?"
You need to run the TGC Store, and upgrade your profile account, before you can get your points. Please note all those users who don't have an active TGC Store account, risk not getting their free 250 entry points.
Quote: "My question is, not how to send the entry, but where?"
Upload details will be posted on it's own thread soon, expect them by this friday.
Quote: "When we submit our game, I noticed in the readme.txt file that there was a field for Game Version...does this mean we update it starting at version 1 for example, and just increase it by, say...0.1 or 1.0 each time we update it, or is that just for the final version upon our last entry?"
Anything you like, but at the end of the day, if it's too weird or obscure, then you risk my not understanding it, and getting the wrong version judged. To be safe just use 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.
