There is another coding competition organized by PDRoms.
This competition is not much of a challenge but you have only 10 days of time. Deadline is the 18th January 2004 at midnight (CET time). The goal is to write a”LLamatron”style game (not a clone!). The file size does not matter this time.
Allowed systems are Gameboy Classic/Color, Gameboy Advance, GP32, Neo Geo Pocket Classic/Color and Dreamcast!
Judge support comes from Freeze/Dreamcast-Scene.com and EvilDragon/GP32x.com.
The first prize, which is a NGPC plus seven (!) games, is sponsored by Consolefever.com an onlineshop for consoles, console games and console accessories.
PS.: If you are webmaster of a related page please help spreading the word about this compo, thanks in advance 🙂

Update: Deadline extended to 8th February (Sunday) due to DATEL offering cash money for Gameboy Advance minigames on short schedule (deadline 25th January). That’s what I call bad timing, but since I want to support the GBA scene and still have the one or other LLamatron style game for GBA I extended the deadline. This should also help others to have enough time to make something great :o)
