Bibinson: THE LMIT IS 12 MB. THAT MEANS: FROM 0 TO 12 MB, IT'S ALL OKAY.

Oh my goodness... so basically the group people probably have the advantage. Which means I probably wont win because a group effort usually produces better quality an app/game. I am working alone, and that's it, but I don't think you should allow yourself to conform and change the rules on the fly like that. It's like saying: Okay there's a competition... and the prize is MMF2... OH WAIT (2 days later), no! the prize is now TGF 1 Standard.... WTF is with that?

So please, revert your changes to the competition (with the exception of the size, MMF produces LARGE results)...

Andrew it doesnt really matter, because anyone could take a group project and say it was made by him/herself and claim the prize. Theres no absolute way to tell.

It doesn't matter anyways, Radix decided to win. Groups may have an advantage (some of them maybe), but like I said, it be hard to tell if someone was working on a team, and only one group member gets MMF2.

May I ask, what the hell is the point of having to submit the source? What does it matter if the code is organized or not. A game is a game. Sure it helps to be organized , a great deal. . ., but I don't like the idea of anyone besides me and my closest friends having my code.

Derek, my guess is that there are a few reasons.

1. The judges need to check for malicious code before they run the game. It would be quite easy to make an MMF app that can destroy windows.
2. If you every intend on making bigger games, or working in "real world" game programming, source code completeness, neatness and commenting are extremely important. Trust me, I learnt that the hard way!

PS. Phizzy, what the hell is you crazy avatar from? It's like a santa jesus or something
