PSP-Newshave cancelled their”60 Day Coding Contest”, without further details. The compo is not dead and will be moved to another time-range.

evilo has updated his port of the multiplayer game”Super Mario War”. Release notes:

As promised, a little update to add a great feature : Multitap support thanks to the work of Drakonite on the SDL library (as well as others little fixes to the driver, but that should be however not visible). Also, I saw a lot of complains about the outdated version on which the PS2 port is based, but all I can say is : don’t discourage people, and try to enjoy this version anyway(that was initially a try for the PS2 SDL library) while waiting for a fresh new port based on the version 1.6 !

The New Neopontec Gaming Engine (NNG) is a gaming engine based in SDL developed by Hector Blanco de Frutos. It offers a set of functions, classes, structures and datatypes to help the development of games and multimedia applications using the SDL Libraries.Is very easy to put the engine into a sourcecode, you only need to create a folder into the sourcecode and put into it all the engine files. Finally you only need to include the engine_dir/engine.h file, and ALL the possiblities of the engine can start to work.http://www.neopontec.com/en/games/index.php
